Here in South Australia we don't have annual mots for cars ( yeah I know, great right ? ) but the police can stop you at any time if they suspect your car is unroadworthy, and the car gets a "defect notice" ( plus fine ect ) so you need to fix the defect then you have to go to an authorised...

Oh it was driven in that finish mate, by the previous owner { and the guy who resprayed it, it was originally red } hence the cops seeing it and pulling it over { my wife's son mainly bought it for the desirable rear hatch, originally from a march, with nismo wing/mid spoiler/number plate lights...

My wife's eldest son owned this car for a little while last year { though it was defected by the police and never driven by him, just stripped for parts }

Hi Andy, it's clear you are very smitten with your Micra Cabriolet, and why not, it's defiantly one of the rarer Micra models. Shame Ni$$an never shipped any over here to Oz, ten months of the year garaged !! Here you could drive it ten months of the year ! I bet Steffi is an awesome Summer...

Here in oz the first Micra's came over from the UK in '95, the range consisted of LX ( two door base spec ) SLX ( four door with PAS and AC ) and Super S ( of which only 303 came here )

Thanks Shentyt, tyres are 165x55 so yeah, a cheeky little bit of stretch

I really like this Paul, a very creative solution, though I do like I_jonez suggestion of polyurethane too and not having access to a printer this would be the route I would choose. I used to work with polyurethane and made a few bits for my bikes ( chain rollers and such ) so easy to work with...

I'm running 14x7 with 19 offset, I reckon they are about as wide as you can go without needing arch extensions but I could be wrong

Yeah mate, Enkei RPF1s 14x7 and BC V1 coilovers

Thankyou George !!

Don't forget the bog basic LX.....ehem

Hi John, when the electrical system gets loaded, say with lights on or A/C for example, the idle increases slightly to compensate. Perfectly normal mate, nothing to worry about.

Glad you got sorted Paul, and Kasandra is saved for another year at least. Looking forward to lots more entries and adventures in her blog.

I know K11 auto to manual swap is "relatively" straight forward so i would assume later models would be similar { don't like the sound of ECU reprogramming though }

Nice pictorial Andy, clear and concise for anyone needing to attempt this job

Trippy seeing this Berta, i live in South Australia and have seen this Gumtree ad, the guy has been trying to sell his tacho cluster for quite a while now.

Andy, where did you source that Micra book ?? It looks really interesting. I've never seen it before and tried "googling" but came up with nothing ?

While wiring in an aftermarket head unit is relatively straight forward I would strongly recommend soldering and heat shrink wrap for all connections and not just "tape". Having said that, the last two I have done I have used generic adapter harnesses for two reasons, 1 it is very quick and...

Fitted new shoes to Miguel......

I couldn't say for certain mate, but then again i cant really see why it wouldn't work ok, just put the throttle bodys side by side and compare all the fittings and connections, and if they match, give it a go, what have you got to loose ?
