Almera airbox and brakes?

[AndrewWho?]

I have a 1litre k11 Micra. Would it be a straight swap if I was to take the airbox from my mates 1.8 Almera, or would I have to shift anything? Would the brake pads and discs also be a straight swap? If anyone has already done either would you say it's worthwhile?

I think the airbox that fits on the micra comes of a 1.4 or 1.6.

does it look like this (bigger one)

I'm not too sure, I haven't seen it. He told me he was breaking one so I asked him to hold onto the airbox and breaks. I'm sure it was a 1.8, but I only assume so. I'll find out for sure. Are the breaks the same on a 1.8 as a 1.6?

yes, the n16 one is probably different eh (and a different pcd on the wheels too)

I don't know about the brakes, Ive never looked into it. Sorry.

1.8 airbox will not fit. Only 1.6 and 1.4 GA engine arboxes will fit.

and No, 1.6 brakes are totally different to 1.8. Stud patterns are different and so isdisc size and calipers etc...

Thanks guys. If it's a 1.6 I'll go for it(Y)

You'll be able to pick one up from a scrapyard pretty cheap (Y)

I ordered one of those exhausts everyone seems to buy too. I'll put photos up when I start to work on the scratches and dents the previous owner left. He must have J-turned into a chain link fence, the rear bumper is a joke :laugh:
