An inlet plenum should help with this right?

Thanks for the heads up, would you say there is more of an issue with: - The way in which the engine was bored & forged in the first place or - An underlying weakness in the CG series which makes it unsuitable for forging? As I said, I don't want to throw money at the car, but I would...

I was planning on using the SR20 head as I have seen this design and it looks like it can make a significant improvement when attached to an SR20 TB. If I didn't use an SR20 TB what are the other options? I would probably end up going for a standalone ecu after all the work was done so getting...

Thanks for the advice, provided I lower the comp using 2 genuine head gaskets, what kind of power / boost would a non-forged engine handle safely? Also I have seen the problems that Pollyp is having and I must say, considering he knows pretty much everything about Micra's and he is still...

I don't have a welder yet, I was going to do a bit more research before I decided, if you have any suggestions that would be great. I am beginning to think it may be easier to do what Stani did and buy a Glanza manifold and modify it to fit the Micra. I would want to cut the pipes so that it...

Thanks for the heads up guys but I am dead set on a SS tubular one. I was thinking of getting the tubes myself, cutting them and spot welding them into place and then getting a professional welder to finish it? Or do you think it would be better for me to find someone to do it all for me? When...

First thing I want to sort is to find a fabricator that will build me a stainless steel tubular manifold and I also want to try and get myself an inlet plenum so I can mount an SR20 TB to it (will probably have to have one built). I am undecided on a couple of things though (any advice would...

I have done a fair bit of research already, been wanting to boost since I joined the MSC last summer :D

Does this look suit my Micra? And before anyone says anything - it is shopped and I am aware that the interooler may be slightly out of proportion :p I am definitely not skilled enough to boost my K11 that quickly (and without asking hundreds of how-to questions first). :D I have a job...

Not as much as I hate the fact I end up spending all weekend working on it instead of my car :rolleyes: especially when it comes to the DIY style wiring.. I say it's GT6, the rear is a spitfire and the front is a one piece LeMans style GT6 bonnet (the kind that makes up the entire front of the...

I did exactly this on my first Micra, far easier than drilling old rusty bolts out :)

Me and my girlfriend got insured with Tesco Fully Comp when we were both 20 with zero years NCB for £1200 (paid monthly) on our 97' 1.0 Shape Our renewal was too high with Tesco (£900) so swapped the following year (at age 21 with me having 1 year NCB) to Endsleigh (as we are students) for...

Hey everyone, I have just done a routine inspection on the undercarriage of my Micra and discovered a rusty hole in the NS of the lower front cross member. It's strange because it wasn't there a month ago and the rest of the cross member is absolutely mint. I have decided I will just replace...

Ahh nice one. I read somewhere that a 32mm one wouldn't fit, I shall go and buy one now, Thanks :D

Hey everyone, I have just removed my rear wiper and I can't find anywhere that sells the grommet that is needed to fill the hole. I have read that it is a 30mm one that is needed? Does anyone have a spare one lying around that they would kindly sell to me? :) Thanks, Calum

First time I have ever seen one for sale, even if it is from Japan... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-Nissan-K11-March-OEM-Option-License-Plate-Garnish-Trim-Lights-Lamps-Micra-/271279013734?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f297d3f66

It's a Polo one iirc, but I can't be sure..

Haha the only thing better than an RB26 Skyline is an RB26 Micra :p As for the driveway, I don't even have one of those in London :( While I am at uni in Swansea though I have both a driveway and a garage.. But Uni = no money So I guess I will just have to wait a while before doing...

Hmm I may be tempted, would definitely be a learning curve :) I just lack the use of a garage which makes things awkward for me. I might just have to take the car off of the road for a while once my insurance is up for renewal in about a years time, bite the bullet and do the work myself...

To be honest I wish I could do it myself as I feel like I am cheating a bit by getting somebody else to do the work, I am just worried that I would make a mess of my car which I definitely do not want to do :oops:
