ABS on the K12 is very very interfering. Driving down one of the backroads at x speed through one of the local rally stages I happened across a couple in a VW coming the other way and stomped the brakes from 45 mph. The ABS kicked-in and the 100m distance between us just got eaten up till i was...

I just prefer something else stopping the car for me hahaha And thats exactly what i was thinking ... and would you being using Nissan calipers or could you use any calipers? And do you know of any stock calipers that are particularly large of the top of your head?

If I was to simply buy some drilled and slotted brake discs and put them on the front wheels, would I be able to complete the upgrade simply by buying a set of brake calipers that are bigger than the stock calipers and fit them provided they fitted inside the wheel hub when driving, or would I...

Just digging up this old thread again ;) but would it just be a case of "do the calipers have a brake line in the same place and do they fit inside the wheel hub" or is there more to it than that?

Hmm ... very true. Fingers crossed i'll only need cable ties, as i have plenty from B&Q. And having been just quoted some £500 for a disassembled ecu for a turbo from Megasquirt, im now listing very heavily back towards the idea of getting an engine transplant. There's a 1.2 sat just up the...

Very bumpy at parts and quite small roads too. Okay, and awesome, thanks very much :) Ive already built a sump shield which i just need to paint so it doesnt rust and then fit to the bottom of the car with some bolt nuts welded onto the chassis and a couple brackets and im looking at doing...

Its the Isle of Man Druidale rally stage ( ) which is literally just behind my house which ive driven down numerous times. I was planning on recruiting the next brother down from me as a co-driver (that reminds me, i still need to ask him about that ;) ) and basically just floor it through the...

So I've made it my goal to prep my car for a rallystage before I go to university in August as all of my modifications have been in aid of a rally-style car due mainly to my love of rallying. Minus a rollcage which would simply be just a pain for a car being used as a daily driver, I have...

Bucket seats restored and repainted, racing harnesses on the way and a sump shield is in the making :) next up should be a body makeover

I'm buying a set of 90% brighter bulbs for replacement and fitting them, so we'll see what happens :) the guy behind the counter said that when he was working as a delivery boy for a pizza place that the micra they had went through a decent amount of bulbs since it was so constantly being driven...

Really? Wow ....

But isnt the MOT just once whenever the car changes ownership ...? It was to my understanding that only the US did some stupid stuff dependent on which state you were in that could require you to have an MOT test every year D:

I was just driving home from school and turned the headlights on from dim to main beams, as you do, but the main lights wouldn't come on ..? The high beams work and the dims work, but the main beams won't work despite the high beams and the main lights being powered by the same bulb. Is this a...

eBay :) it might be listed as a decat pipe or just the centre exhaust section. I couldnt tell you for sure if itll fit though as ive never bought one nor inquired about any details ... Here's an example...
