Point taken and accepted Nex, but his drums have thick parts and thin parts which as you rightly said will heat up at different rates thus causing them to crack on a thin point (hot spot, weak link), i think thats why drums are uniformly round and constant thickness, You Also pointed out...

Has it been through an mot with those drums on tho? i honestly doubt that, also once again, If you are racing then surely you are using an adjustable brake bias valve and setting it up so the back is working as it should ( i know you still have more braking front but the back will be getting hot...

I guess you mean't get rid of the airbox and fit an induction kit cause otherwise as Karlj said fitting a smaller airbox will lose you performance.

Halfords do that Enamel VHT paint mate and actually it is pretty good quality, you might need to use the adhesion promoter to help it stay on, don't be tempted by the chrome effect tho as although it looks great it will not stay that way as you cant polish it or touch it much after without it...

i think you have an earth where a live should be, and vice versa. we had this on a car recently and it did exactly the same. i'm fairly sure this is the problem mate but like i say if you use a multimeter all will become clear.

Thanks Nex, i still say the front torque damper should be retained especially for racing. Remember mini's when the torque damper bushes used to kill them selves (weekly on mine) until you fitted uprated ones, the stresses on the existing mounts was massive and also on a lot of other components...

Oooh we have just removed a glove box, free to a good home if anyone would like to collect it from Dorset.

Has this problem just started or has it been like it since you have had the car? Sounds like a bad earth or like others have said corrosion in the wires, You really need to buzz these wires through to see what your readings are. But a new plug is a good starting point. You can check which wire...

Nice one, Tuned port injection ftw, although may be a tad heavier on fuel than the micra lol, Good luck mate. Wonder if this was the car i saw for sale over at Dakota drag strip on the last weekend for sale (it was only parked up not being thrashed to within an inch of its life by the way lol.)

Yes From a gun and then baked on, I would go to a scrap yard, Learn on that car how to get the cover off (not such a problem if something breaks although not great lol) Buy that cover, Very cheap normally. Clean that up, take it along to a local spray shop and get them to spray it the colour of...

But removing the front engine mount off of what is now left of the brace bar (very weak) Can't be a good idea ? surely if it was unneeded Nissan wouldn't have fitted it and saved some money, i guess there R&D missed a trick there? Also when you are racing the loads on the engine and also all...

And live a long life lol, rear brakes don't heat up enough lol (even on a track?) Someone hasn't adjusted the brake bias correctly me thinks. shame nissan didn't know that trick then or they could have shaved masses of weight and got fuel economy up etc... man you should send your ideas in to...

I'm not trying to start an argument either, these are just my personal views right or wrong.

Also try and find anywhere on any tuning site or any car mod site or performance parts suppliers drums that look or are manufactured like that, good luck on that search and why are they not available to buy if they are a good idea?

look at the comments made on the other link, I say no more.

Mate looks like the one in the picture is spayed professionally and probably done with 2k paint, by far the best way to achieve this sort of result, we have done skyline and supra rocker covers with 2k paint and they hold up perfectly, no discolouration or anything. Oh and doing it this way the...

Its mainly the brakes that concern me massively and the removal of the front engine mount and the metal from the brace bar

Its from this post.

http://www.micra.com.au/community/me...essageid=64865 Now this may be risky but i feel it is worth saying, Please don't copy what you have seen done in this link, it is both dangerous to yourself and other road / track users, and no this is not a dig at Frank even though we have not...

Unfortunately it seems the car market has fallen on its ass mate in the last few months you don't seem to be able to give stuff away. If i were you i would sit on it for a while if you don't have to sell it and then move it on as it surely must pick up again (soon hopefully) Nice car though...
