My 1998 Nissan Micra called Eddie

Yeah, facelifts only come with a single purple connector on the driver's side. You need to use the loom that splits it. I didn't have one so I just spliced a wire into the live and ran it across the bumper to another connector I got at the breakers.
 
Stuart, did you have to put your own fog light relay? And you have a stalk with a fog switch? I have the one purple connector on the driver side too. I've temporarily wired the fogs to the high beams atm haha but want to do it properly eventually
 
Yep, just grab any blue relay from the interior fuse panel at the breakers. The relay goes in at the top-right if I recall correctly. It's a tight squeeze getting your hand up there, but taking the gauge surround out helps visibility.

The stalk directly replaces the existing one, no rewiring required.
 
Yeah, you need a stalk with a fog light switch, it's an extra position on the fog light selector ring. You can find them on models with fogs fitted, and I've heard the N16 Almera stalk also works (as long as it had fogs fitted)
 
Not a good pic but 35mm lowed all round looks good now just need to wait for @stuartwood to sort his new ones out so I can buy his current ones

looks good, didnt think 35mm would give as much of a drop as that

Thanks for the pic, just ordered some 35mm springs there so cant wait to get them on now haha, should look well on my 14" steels :)

Also liking the look of the 5 door
 
How long did it take you to lower it? and did you need spring compressors for the front?

also have much bother getting nuts and bolts etc out?

Gonna attempt mine this weekend, will be a first so not sure how it will go o_O
 
Not much has been going on recently found out he needs a new engine as the compression is way Down
1 dry 49 psi
2 dry 50 psi
3 dry 50 psi
4 dry 49 psi
1 wet 75 psi
2 wet 100 psi
3 wet 101 psi
4 wet 100 psi

Hopefully getting a 1.3 and I'm going to use my 1l gear box so will be nice and fast hopefully :)
