K12 spotted.

 Thu 05 Jul 2007 05:02:09 PM
I was at work today and saw a K12 Micra on the Frankston/Dandenong road.
It was registered with Victorian plates.

Had the badges "Micra" & "ST" on the hatch. Car was Silver

I did not think they were in the showrooms here yet.

Could be a promo stunt to get people looking twice.

I hear they may be bringing a "hot" S version next year with a hi-po 1.6L motor.

Would make a nice upgrade into a K11 if doeable and could get hold of a Jap front-cut in the future.

In the UK we have a 160SR K12 Micra a 1.6l sporty looking Micra. SR meaning 'Street Racer'. I think it has since been replaced by Micra 'Sport'.

And how many K12 in Japan have the 1.6L motor?

Nice! A fast 1.6 version would be unreal actually..

A 1.6 turbo version would be even better!

Yes & how many K12 outside Europe have the 1.6? Specifically HR16DE (Stroke 83.6mm)?
I believe it's only found in C11 in China & C11/K12 from Europe, everywhere else gets the HR15DE (Stroke 78.4mm).
Point being, you're not likely to get a front cut from Japan with that motor.
Also note if you want a manual gearbox in your Jap front cut, from the current Nissan vehicle range you have the 1.2L 5spd K12, QR20DE 4x4 Xtrail, 350Z & not much else.
