Thanks for the insight John (y) So I've had a look, and I think I also have the plastic wheel arch liners you've mentioned: Unless there should be another plastic section covering the corroded section? Yep I also can't really see the point of that material or, at least, I can think of a...

Recent tasks... Flat wiper blades fitted: What you know about JDM wiper assemblies x Headlights: I 'repaired' the broken mounting clip on my offside headlight, and fit my Osram Night breaker dipped beam bulbs. Here's the headlight bracket repair: I used Araldite Fusion 3G one-shot...

Oo some food for thought there. Thanks Mika, I might give that a try when I (eventually) get to detailing my car (y)(y).

Quick stop during my drive through the Peaks for this: But also this:

Let us know how you get on. I'm interested to see this helps. I think my brakes are also pretty shocking, but I haven't yet fully investigated.

So while my car was jacked up at the tyre shop, I had a look to see what my mechanic meant when he said the suspension couldn't be set much lower. So I don't know how much space for shortening there is in the rear shocks, but it looks like there's only a little room for lowering judging by...

Ah yep, gotcha. Cheers Mika

Little update: I've sorted the centre cap situation... So I unstuck the Nismo caps from their original "mount" and stuck them onto the black ones which fit onto the wheel correctly. (Unstuck from the shiny "mount" on the bottom, onto the black at the top) Final look: Not sure if I'm...

Looking good Mika. Where did you get the wind deflectors from? I'm up for getting a set.

Measured my ride height... It's looking a bit off. So I'm thinking I'd like all corners to become 60cm from floor to wheel arch. Not sure if that's a bad idea in case I have people in the back etc - should the rear be a little higher than the front? I also changed the damping to the softest...

Update: finally found some centre caps which fit. The Nissan ones are too small, so I'll be selling them. These generic black ones off eBay (£6.19) are the ones that fit. Before: After: However, you can see where I butchered the paint around the test wheel, so I'll need to sort that -...

So my order from Japan... To be honest, I just wanted the headlights with built in indicators. I knew that they came standard on K12 models in Australia and Japan. But out of the two options, I knew that I'd get cooler things from Japan If I'm gonna get parts from Japan, I might as well do a...

Next up: suspension... So back in April 2018, I bought some fully adjustable BC Racing coilovers, off a seller called vendettibi, on eBay for £295. The ad claimed this was a full set (never used), and the only things missing were the manual and C spanners, so I reckon it was a steal. Apologies...

Next up: wheels... So I planned to just keep it pretty cheap, but I've probably spent more than I should've. I bought these wheels off eBay for £120. 16" x 7J ET45. They came off a Nissan S12 and I sold the 205/50/R16 tyres as I wanted lower profile. Test fitted them: The intention...

Hi all. Thought I'd give this blogging a go; I've been lurking on these forums for years following other people's builds, so why not try my own. It's going to be a bit slow to be honest, but let's see. So I'm Daheem, I'm a 23 year old MES Engineer, I'm from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, but now...

My K12 yet to be named. I might start a blog on here for this :) Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Just an update - if anybody in future is searching and this helps somewhat. I've got "rear spring perches with locking rings" on order from BC Racing for ~£100 in total. Got adjustable drop links and coilover wrenches off eBay, so I'll soon have everything I need. Might start a blog if I...

Ah thank you. So it looks like I am missing the rear spring perches in your pictures. I'm thinking maybe I don't have any because my coilovers are for the K12 (and aren't needed) and yours for the K11...but realistically I'm probably meant to have them aren't I?

Hi all, So I picked up a set of the BC racing coilovers in new condition off eBay a while ago, for a very good price (I think I paid £250). The seller told me it was just missing the manual and coilover wrench which I thought was fair enough, and not an issue. I've got adjustable drop links...

Ah sweet, thank you both
