MicraK11(challenge) SR20DE conversion

I got a long history with the micra k11.
First i got 1 micra with a compleet nismo rally spec rebuild engine,but I still wanted more power...(105 bhp)
Then i was thinking about te make a project with turbo(but did't do it)
I sold my car to my brother and buy my self a starlet EP82GT.
It was great fun, but there was sow many things not good, I decided to sell the car and buy a micra back.(stil love a micra:grinning:)
For now I'm going to start a project to swap the engine to a SR20DE.
The plan is get a donor micra and fith the hole lot first in there,after it all fits we will swap it in to my car:grinning:
I wil post the progress of the project in here:

This was my firt micra:

See what you people think of it.
 
woah mate those are the postert side skirts! would you be willing to sell them? do you know where you can get them from?

they don't seem to make them any more, would you be willing to lend them to me so i can make a copy?

really nice cars btw i love the postert kit
 
Uh,
No problem lent the skirts but I live in Holland...
I got the compleet poster front and rear bumpers+skirts.
Next upgrade is rear under the roof spoiler from ms desing and fit spoilers to make the wheel thikker.(dont know the name)
But firt do the engine swap

i don't suppose you would be willing to sell them would you? i am going through holland on the 25th of July if you wanna meet up,

i have been after those skirts for ages but they have stopped selling them and distroyed the moulds, i asked them if they could remake them, and they said they could but when i finally got the skirts they were the wrong ones.

make the wheel thicker? are you thinking of spacers or wheel arches?

what engine are you going to swap for?
 
The word is wheel arches.lol did't know it in English
I don't sell the skirt because everething is realy hard to get...You can make a mall here,that is what I can offer?
The swap wil be a SR20DE,I want for like 10 years a realy fast micra and with this egine i got a good base.
I't wil kost some money, but I had already a nismo rally spec blok and was either not fast enough,same like the starlet EP82GT.
Sow this wil be the last project and hope that this wil be fast enough for me.

ah wheel arches, like the over fenders on your silver micra? or wider than that?

sure i understand, are you able to get moulds made of the skirts? do you know anyone near you that does fibreglassing? i suppose if you are doing the SR20 convertion the car wont need the skirts until that is finished.

good luck with the SR20 convertion, you will have a very quick micra if you can stop the wheels from spinning ;) the SR20 is a pretty good convertion, there is alot of them in Japan.
 
Nex, if you can get postert skirts made up, I'd be happy to help funding the moulds/copies etc.. I NEED THEM! lol.
 
I can ask what the cost wil be to make a mal for the skirts?
I dont know what the budget is what you want to pay for it?
The wheel arches wil be the same as the silver one:grinning:
Here a picture of the silver one:
If you want more picture's of the car let me know.

that would be awesome ;) only problem is that our cars are going to be identical lol, i am doing a smooth open super s kit with the nismo kit on there, postert sideskirts...
 
So you can still buy the postert kit out there?! Any company/stockist/website names?

All of your cars look ace by the way! Like the colour of your latest :)

i would be very interested if you could get a cost for it,

if you could just get moulds made, then i can get copies made later if i have the moulds.

as for a budget, if you can get some rough prices and then we can go from there. but if you can get them made before the 24th of July i can always come and pick them up, so no need to post :)

lol you are copying me :p i have had this idea years ago lol, in fact i bought the postert sideskirts about a year and a half ago, but they sent the wrong ones and said they cant get the ones i wanted anymore >>

but really, mine will be the cabriolet, different colour, maybe mulholland arches too, dished rims.... possibly smoothed boot? crystal headlights cos they will be legal in sweden lol, and possibly the GA16, but still thinking about that
 
I wil ask around here if it's possible to make a mal..
If not send me a PM and we sort it out.(like to help other micra drivers)

In Holland you got nothing for a micra...no engine mods and styling
I got one good adres for my engine swap,most people in Holland think :he is crazy to spend a lot of mony on a micra....
I always love to pull out big cars with my litle micra,its al about weigt horsepower...
 
Robert said:
I asked a while ago about the skirts, they said the same and then sent me here with your name! lol.

thanks mate, as you know, these side skirts are impossible to get hold of, it would be good to get a mould even if it was just in case you had a small crash and damaged your side skirts you would be able to get more. but yea i wouldn't mind meeting up anyway on my way though

yea there is nothing for the micra here really either, you have done well to find what you have found,

and i totally agree, i would much rather have a little car that i have worked on, than go out and buy a big fast car already made.
 
I got a update
I got a compleet sunny n14 gti for the engine swap+a micra front, to fit first in there(Y)
Then the project wil start quick.
Foto's I wil post this weekend:laugh:
