[matty]

hey does any one know what has happened to the Nissan Micra K12 2.0L 16v Turbo GTR Concept Car i saw it on a couple of car websites a while back!

i know that the Nisan Micra K12 1.6L 16v SR is coming out in the summer, that looks ok!

but what going on here?

Anyone know or has any information?

 

[masterbiker]

Sorry not heard of it. Plant might know something about it.

Isn't this the red and silver one with the nissan decals down the side of it??

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

not seen this one, the red and silver one may have been the micra R mate, with the touring car primera engine

not too sure on k12's tho

We were told eons ago, that the Micra C+C would be a 2.0 and e4wd, but obviously that never got made, but it does suggest that it is possible to put one in the front, not the back like the Micra-R. Don't know which 2.0 engine it was going to be though

 

[masterbiker]

Titch thinks that the Cleo 182 engine can fit. If I had some money I might buy a second hand K12 E and try it.

 

[Beachboy]

the engine bay could be similar to the clio as its the same chassis and the shared 1.5d engine goes in them both, so the 182 fitting in their would be great. if it did fit with not too much problem i wouldnt be complaing it was french if had the 182 horses under my right foot.

anyone see the micra concept in nuts a few weeks back, it had a 2.5 turbo lump in it, looked different to a normal k12, a lot more agressive looking, i think it said it was a sport coupe concept or something like that

 

[Beachboy]

sure it wasnt one of the new concept almera replacements, that has the turbo 2.5 engine in it.

 

[Paynee]

just saw this thread in general chat

here

its that car that was in nuts that i was talking about, but according to this thread its only going to be a 1.5 and not a 2.5t

For testing purposes NMUK dropped a Clio 172 engine into a March K12 this was done while they where doing the last of the k11's. When they took this on the test track they found that the K12 didnt handle because the 172 engine was to heavy. They planned to move the engine further back in the engine bay but from what my dad told me it was pointless as no one would buy a 2.0 micra so the plan to make a Micra R/GT/GTR/GTi/ what ever you wanna call it was scrapped.

but

there maybe still some life in the 2.0 Micra story as they are planning on making the k12 till 2009. 2 more extra years than normal. Then its getting replaced witha cheap chinese made shed. in Q3 2009.

 

[Beachboy]

i would like to see the survey results for the amount of people who ticked a box saying "no, i dont want a 2.0 micra being made".
well when it comes down to it to save fussing around i would just buy a clio 172/182 and take the renault badges off and stick nissan ones on. save a few thousand pounds, sorted.

 

[matty]

ok thanks

 

[nicon_23]

just out of intrest if any 1 wants to do a 2.0 conversion on a k12 the renault megane coupe engine has the same mounts its 150bhp as std and thers a turbo conversion for it out there as well

 

[masterbiker]

Of course, I would love to do that! But won't have the time or money:-(

 

[matty]

hey cool!

so it has the same engine fixture points?

what about the gear box and exhaust system linking upto it how much work there?

how much house power with the 2.0l megane engine 150bhp with the turbo kit as extra?

and also prices to of the engine, turbo kit, and any other stuff needed too?

[masterbiker]

You would want to change the engine mounts to some nismo ones at the same time I would think.
