    Micra K12 1.4 Turbo

    welcome angryboy, to be honest there aren't many options for the k12 regerding turbos, IMPUL do a supercharger but i've only seen it availible for £2500 pounds or 117,277.80 Ruble. the problem is there isn't much space in the standard k12 engine bay, perhaps if you relocated the battery?

    THE DREADED TIMING CHAIN OF DOOM

    i'm guessing the fault came come in many guises, the symptoms i had i.e. grinding and the diagnosis might not be the only warning signs. also after a long motorway drive my revs started sropping and rising of their own accord, if this happens move into the inside lane asap. after i'd left the...

    THE DREADED TIMING CHAIN OF DOOM

    you'll know when it starts to go mate, mine started making a loud grinding noise under hard acceleration , then i had a break down which was diagnosed as the crankshaft sensor. engine light came back on so i took it back and after we had removed the the rocker we could visibly see the chain was...

    THE DREADED TIMING CHAIN OF DOOM

    as renault and nissan own 45% of one another and the k12's are built in sunderland they use renault chains , hence built to only last a specific time

    THE DREADED TIMING CHAIN OF DOOM

    WHEELS YO!

    okay. 8's will be fine, its just a case of fitting spacers to clear the suspension and innards, and then i'll just stretch the tyres down to make sure they fight under, probably 195's

    WHEELS YO!

    just checked out the fitment list for the grid drifts on rarerims.com, the et on most is perfect, but they are 16x8, maybe space them at the front? get some stretch with 185 rubber and then stagger the back with even wider spacers?

    New kid on the block.

    as much as big power out of a micra would be sleeper, anything above 250hp is just a waste in a fwd chassis. i love what they've done but its just way too unuseable

    removing gear knob

    did this the other day, i recevied a leather Nismo top from japan, found a much simple to quicker way to remove. first i tried prising away the plastic from the standard knob and twisting and breaking for the best part of half an hour, then i realised it would be much quicker to just chop the...
