  • Nissan Micra K11!

    Here it is! from day one and onward lots of pictures bit wont look that decent cause of my crappy phone camera..
    Bit different but enjoy!



    Started going a bit mad with the old matte black!





    Added some pressed plates and a few stickers here and there





    Gave it a decent clean when i had it then also tryed out a black grill





    Old vs New





    The time came when i had to do something about the engine bay so got to work on the cam cover







    Went in with the yellow film but i wasnt that keen on it for long..



    Did something about the ride height and went for a set of Tein lowering springs



    Didnt do it that much for me so then i looked into the theory of fitting vauxhall corsa coilovers after hearing they fit with minor adjustments and ended up with this!

    Ebay goodness!!









    Reminded me of a hover craft before sorting out the back to match





    After getting the rear corsa struts on it all went together preety nice!





    Kept it as it was for a while and not much interesting happend besides some wind deflectors and Nissan headlight covers!





    After a good clean had to get some shots of the drive clearence





    Gatherd together a decat pipe and some Nissan March goodness









    Got hold of some dials with a rev counter and also a reg plate surrond which i ended up selling on






    Then the new tyres and wheels came Went for a different size as they wernt your average ''banded'' wheels





    Fit preety nice but really need an adjustable panhard rod which i still havnt got sorted





    Really did need arch roll at this point!



    As you can see the panhard has been under some stress for quite a while, excuse the rusty underneath



    Started to strip out the back for the hell of it





    Had to get the panhard balance sorted out at this point as it got a bit wild, so sourced some offset bushes which are kinda helping till i sort the funds for a proper rod!







    At this point it looked preety rad just sitting on the drive! swapped the wheels to the front for a while just to see how the offset felt



    I then thought it was kinda time to sort the arches out which failed miserably lol



    So then i thought id put the rubber rings back in the rear just to save my rubber!







    Kudos for the gearknob!!



    I got quite bored of the black grill at this point so put the old grill back on and did some colour coding along with moving a few pointless stickers







    Thought id then get some preety pictures of it as im cool like that





    Took the side bump stirps off then did a bit of colour coding inside





    Got a cleaner grill also





    SO this is how it is now, first stanceworks blog as im used to the little old micra forum sorry if its all a big bunged together but yea!

    Attended a local jap meet and it got decent attention along with a few disturbed looks







    Thats it for now

          Cool little car. If I had this, I'd get some old school mesh wheels, and plan for a SR20VE swap!

              Cool wee Micra!

              Some wheels and a little lower would really set this off.

                  I'm not saying do it, because it's probably not the safest modification... I'm saying it can be, and certainly has been done...



                  Adjustable panhard rod. You need to be able to weld.

                      They're cable tensioners, used to.. well.. tension cables.

                      I haven't done it, but I've seen it done.
                      You cut the length of the tensioner out of the panhard rod, and weld threads onto the cut ends, and turn them into the threaded centres of the tensioner.. if it at all makes sense?

                      the centre can then be twisted to tighten up, or loosen the cable. In the case of a panhard rod, it lengthens or shortens it.

                      For the sake of around $150, and maybe the suspension that you kind of depend on - I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you're a very confident welder, and I've done some dodgy shit.
