The new project..... |
Sun 27 Jan 2008 10:32:53 AM |
|
well, i've gotten the shits with my daily driver (daihatsu applause) so i've bought another micra to use as a daily. i'll do a few basic mods to her, but nothing as full on as my red car. this car will probably see the track before the red one! :( first things first but... gotta clean her up, rip all the useless shit out of her, and start fresh...number one on the list, PANELSHOP! colour coding etc

seat rails arent cheap, close to $400 for the pair, but.. designed for the car etc.. trying to decide what to put in this car.. i like the bride euro II ... look nice ... gotta chill out a bit but.. i've spent more on mods so far then the car is worth.. and i've only had it for 2 days!

well.. i thought i'd do a bit of an update.. i've finally gotten most of the stuff back from painting... except the nismo rear wing and front bumper bar, which i'll be getting painted along with a few other bits in a couple of weeks time.. but atleast the car is driveable again.... stage one of the performance mods is now completed... a decent exhaust system, which now consists of impul and nismo,... impul stainless extractors into a nismo weldina system.. i'll take some photos over the weekend and post em up... so... so far the list of mods that are worth mentioning look something like this:
impul extractors + nismo system pulsar calipers + slotted rotors f+r whiteline sway bars whiteline panhard rod whiteline anti-lift kit march bubble lights crystal black headlights ken-heart eyelids super s rear bar super s sII dash cluster 16x6.5 wheels momo race 320mm s/wheel mods still yet to be fitted: custom intake plenum sr20 throttle body z32 afm emanage blue sard fuel reg apexi power flow pod filter gab coilovers super s front bar nismo rear wing ga15 injectors arc titanium gearknob :D hope's and dreams section: bride euro II seats 5% tint jun flywheel / nismo clutch some kind of phsyco cam selection... 264in/272ex? defi gauges really keen section: rb26dettt t88 turbo 3.8 stroker kit, etc :) |

I like that about you Turbo - you're completely mad (about modding your Micras)! I'd like to see your Rays Gram Lights on the Micra. What size are you getting?

You're seriously one Micra nut!
On one side you have a custom made turbo project, the other an N/A screamer project with a $250 gear knob, and everything in between! Oh no my N/A is going to be surpassed soon:( |

sportsclassic WROTE: "hey turbo, where did you get your impul extractors from,and how much? i have air con thats why i am going to the impul system." got them of gtrholic.. he went turbo, so these were no longer being used. i think nissanmania got his from nengun or perfectrun?... i THINK.. new they're around 1500, as you probably know, this car had the hurricane's on it before,,.. even though i think the hurricane extractors give you slightly more topend, the way the power comes on with the impuls is definately worth the trade off, heaps more midrange-usable power, you don't have to ring the neck out of it so much anymore. |

anything listed in this post is for the blue car :) installed coilovers, there GAB Revo Stroke, height and dampening adjustable shocks, 8 point adjustable rear, 4 point adjustable fronts, fronts also have pillow ball strut tops!! woohoo :) first impressions of this setup was holy shit its hard.. till i adjusted the shocks from the hardest setting to the softest.. hard will only be used on the track, or in the case the government decides to finally spend some money on our roads.
here's a few piccies i just took before [URL=http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc04676kc4.jpg]  have to roll the guards, its sitting loooooow, handles and rides really well with the adjustable shocks |

got the cams in this arvo/tonite, ended up going a bitsa setup, using a tomei pon cam 256 intake / nismo n2 264 exhaust. holly shit, what a difference, even without tuning, gave it a boot full, 256 gives plenty of midrange with the 264 giving it a great push all the way untill redline.. seems like it just wanted to rev and rev and rev. can't wait to get the jun 3.6kg now, might go tuning on the weekend if i can T-up myself a co-pilot :) , and a closed race track ofcourse!

You doing tuning with a wideband O2 setup or something? Where'd you get the cams? Do most places allow you to buy a single intake or exhaust cam? ---dens |

yeh, i've got a wideband air fuel ratio meter here. has internal datalogging / log to my laptop, plot boost/rpm/af/tps anything you want, cost me a friggin fotune, but i've made money back on it tuning customers/mates cars. i know the micra is cheap, but no way in the world would i use a poxy autometer or any other single wire o2 sensor to even tune my lawn mower. i've tuned microtech, ems, apexi power fc, motec, wolf and heaps of emanage, haven't blown anything yet!, but i've had alot of tuition from a mechanic friend of mine that used to build the ex gibson motorsport gtr's. got the cams when i was in japan last, and the tomei one came from perfectrun. if you got money, places will sell you whatever you want mate, if they don't, its not worth spending your money there.

lumpy as, sounds great. better then both tomei 256/256, fair bit lumpier. probably not as great midrange, but more topend. i think it'd make power all the way to 8thousand, dash says i'm revving it just past 7ooo now.

Hey how hard is it to change to disk rear end on a LX. Is it worth it or can you get better pads for the drums. |

Re: The new project..... |
Fri 02 May 2008 10:24:35 PM |

easy changeover, just need the whole rear end, bolts straight up, just don't use the abs sensors. never looked into better shoes for the drums,... i hate drums, if i could find a cheap enough rear end, i'd put it on this car too. not really cause of the braking performance, if any noticeable difference, but purely cause the drums look pov-o and disc's are easier to maintain. :) i'll try and get a vid tomorow sometime of idling.. no promises thou, pretty busy all weekend :(

yeah im pretty keen to see a bit more!! sounds like a weapon!! any pics or vids... you can post vids up on youtube and jjust link it to here.
also when you sprayed the car at the start i noticed you sprayed the mirrors and handles like the super s. did you have any problems with that?? i thought maybe because its plastic it might not work? ive heard that spraing the front bar all one colour (to get rid of the gross black bump strip) doesnt work because of the texture of the plastic surface.... what do you rekon cos im pretty keen for spraying some parts?? tris oh and while im here any news on that muffler??cheers |

yeh, should get to the muffler tomorow i hope. like i said,.. busy this weekend, got 8 cars here :(, yeh, painting isn't a problem, send it to the panel beater :) some stuff i paint myself, big stuff like that aint worth it, my guy does it for almost nothing, it'd cost me more to buy the paint for it to do it, let alone the time / lack of oven etc. if its done properly (prepped) it will look good, the black part in the front bar isn't a problem, i haven't done it because i'm gona get the super s one painted one day and fit it up, along with some other fibreglass bits i'm making at the moment.

Campbell WROTE: "can you get bride rails that fit straight into a micra?" not exactly. the k11 jdm floor pan and uk floor pans are different. jdm rails fit, but you need to modify them quite a bit. this is the same with cat back exhausts. they sit at about the same height as stock i believe.. didn't really take much notice. |

Hot :) Was this close to buying a set of the same (dimensions included). You'd be surprised how much you can get away with on the fronts with just lipping them but the rears with the same offset always have issues before the fronts do. Once lipped/rolled they're all sweet.
Just out of curiosity, what's the radiator? Looking good :) ---dens |
