Hi trippa, I have painted a couple of K11 cam covers successfully now. I used a heat resistant wrinkle finish paint that we get here in Australia. Both cars where '95s ( so over 20 years old ) with I believe the original cam cover seal, which being rubber type material was starting to...

Great write up and pics Paul, looks like you had a blast ( odd nocking noises and dodgy Muslim digs notwithstanding ) I used to love the Lake District when I lived in the uk ( my dad was from Carlisle ) me and my mates used to try and get up there at least once a year to mountain bike, we loved...

The brakes on my Super S have always felt lacking compared to those on my LX so I while ago I put Goodridge braided lines all round with fresh fluid which has improved things somewhat. A few weeks ago I got some AD22V front callipers off a Pulsar SSS at the local wreckers and I am going to...

No mot's here in South Australia { which is nice } though no real rust to speak of either. Though if you get pulled by the cops and get your car defected you have to get it fixed then checked out before the defect is lifted and that process can be difficult, so many things here are deemed...

I couldn't find a way to share the link Andy so I added you to the page ( it's a closed group ) once you get admin approval you should be able to find the post on the page

Thanks Andy, they say a picture pains a thousand words, I can attempt to remove my headlining without going in completely blind now. Not sure if you are on the Nissan Micra UK Facebook page but someone tagged you because a guy on there is parting out a gold SR, might be some parts there...

Hi Andy, Fantastic effort to restore your SR, looks like you have quite a bit of work ahead of you, but as you say, your other cars are pretty much sorted now, and well us chaps must have our "projects" . I'm happy taking on most mechanical jobs on my cars, like...

The top photo was after a bit of a scrub prior to fitting my coilovers but yeah other than a bit of grime they look like they did when they left the factory, no rust in 20+ years, quite amazing really. Ironically, the biggest problem over here is the sun ! Clear coats peel and metallic paint is...

My 20 yr old LX.....

I always cringe and feel sorry for what you guys back in the UK have to deal with when winter rolls around, I don't miss all that salt and brown slush one bit. My last car in the UK was a much cherished Pug 1.9 GTi ( to the point where I would lay it up in winter and commute to work by...

Great vid clearly showing exactly what is required to resolder your PCB, personally though I wouldn't be messing with the TPS, this job can be done with it still in situ, I know I've done it.

Just the air box needs to be removed if you are refilling through the speedo drive, not throttle body. Takes just over three litres, or fill till it comes out of the top front drain plug. As for rattles, are you sure it's the gearbox at fault, worn shifter rattling in 5th is a common complaint...

Hi peter I like the sound of a micra van, although a pick up would be even better ! Sorry to hear of your bike smash, that sort of thing can be quite life changing eh, as for a manual to auto conversion, I'm sure it's perfectly possible ( though I am by no means an expert on this...

Hi mate, just undo the three bolts surrounding the thermostat housing to remove it ( it might be stiff so just give it a light tap with a mallet ) an aftermarket supply er should be able to hook you up with a new one, or wreckers if you can find one better than your original one. Worth putting...

I would imagine so George, that's exactly how mine is and it works fine, there is a lite ( free ) version of the NDSI app but I paid $10 for the full version

Hi toxo, I know you said your A/C system is holding pressure but when it was empty it would have been wise to replace all the o rings ( fairly easy to do as they are all in the engine bay, non inside the dash ) also when re gassing the system a certain amount of oil is also poured in to...

Mathematical formula for how many Micra's you need ( this is actually for motorcycles.....but it works for cars too ) "However many Micra's you have +1"

Hi George, sorry for the late reply. Mine came with a 3ins cd with the program needed to run on a PC, but because I use my phone I just bought the app, just search for NDSI

Gotta say this sounds more like a battery issue to me.........

Hi craiG_jdm I got one of these off ebay ( and an adapter ) so I could use my Sony Xperia Z ultra ( technically a "phablet" ) you just need to buy the Ni$$an app for your device and off you go. Much more detailed info than the cluster
