what did you do to your micra today ?

Are they 80mm springs?
they are apex 30mm drop ones do think it looks lower though
That looks very low for 30mm springs!
I know I did wonder if they were boxed wrong but apex only list 30mm ones

Its not sealed yet
This is a primer rust converter. I don't think it going to actually do much... But if it works then awesome. The shell does not have much longer left I think. Maybe 3 odd years with this work. So I am in the game of prolonging it's death. So couple layers of this then a possible paint designed for this sort of thing and then wayoyl. I reckon anything is better than nothing. The more layers between the rust and the water and air the better.

to turbo or new lump :/ hmmm
i see looked like underseal, did you use a rust treatment or just direct to rust paint
Matt measure your ride height (sills to floor just behind your front wheel) and tell me what you got, I got the same Apex lowered springs so we'll compare results, also report your tyres size

See it is a rust treatment within itself. But you can paint on it. See how it goes it may be pants lol. I tested what it was like sticking to untouched paint. It sticks rather well.

You could just do centre of wheel to arch
WDIDT?...went to the scrap yard and found a full set of 4 genuine nissan floor mats from the 80's...Had to have them LOL
(they have cutting instructions on the reverse for a micra and laurel..amoung otheres)
They're in a bit of a state right now but they'll clean up okay ^_^
yes...it does seem that someone started to cut them and stopped, just taking out a little square <_< ...nevermind, that's the rear two anyhow
...but I ended up getting them for free because my dad bought a set of Classic Ford Alloys for his Lowcost racecar at work, and I smiled nicely...bargain!

You coming round?What men will do for Jen when she smiles at them...
Wdid? Fitted the longer studs and 9.5mm spacers on the rear... Definitely need to be lower, there's almost a whole finger of arch gap!
Regreased the hubs while I was at it

WDID?
Removed the rear seat. Underneath it very oily. Here is the video.
Replaced the suspected radiator fan with one which was working, but found its not working. The other thing that I have noticed is that the radiator is not warming but pipes are warm. Does that mean the water pump is not working?

WDIDT? Made a decat from a CGA primary cat, just wondering if it will have any improvement over the CG decat i ran before? Being longer i am wondering if it would improve power or response due to being able to hold slightly more gas before if gets thrown down the pipe, creating a sort of venturi effect more than the CG cat. Any thoughts?

Tbh it's far from an ideal exhaust setup anyway, but I personally would use the shortest one I could get. I wonder if some pipe could be welded into the inside of the cat just long enough the end seats flush against the inside of the manifold to essentially shrink the cat internal diameter to something a bit more appropriate? Hmmm...
Sorry for that. I sen that from my mobile but could not find the video link from mobile. dauhter was using the laptop. Here is the video.

might be worth removing the inspection plate in the floor to make sure theres no damage to the top of the tank as it has a in tank pump
Well i have a CG modded mani and at the moment access to a CG cat, CG decat, CGA decat, and CGA cat, running into a PL/sportex system. I am not an engineer but from what i can gather, a bigger longer decat after the mani, than standard, would increase the venturi effect as more gas could build up and then draw at higher pressure, this would be benificial at higher rpm as the flow rate would be quite high and draw more gas out. At low rpm i can see this causing a stalling effect in the exhaust gas flow tho, but i can deal with this, maybe i am shooting at stars, but until i try it i dont know

i measured a stock facelift in our car park today, 610 f 630 r (arch to floor, stock 165/60/14,s)mine was 560 front and rear, both sides (165/70/13 balloon tyres)

When exhaust gases hit the cat they enter a region of larger cross sectional area. This allows more air through yes, but you have a choke at the other end in the form of the rest of the exhaust system. What will happen is the manifold will fill with exhaust gases moving at a slower speed than in the rest of the system, and gases at slower speeds exert a higher pressure on it's surroundings. This causes back pressure, which is good in a tuned pulse exhaust system, bad in every other application.Well i have a CG modded mani and at the moment access to a CG cat, CG decat, CGA decat, and CGA cat, running into a PL/sportex system.

What it may do also is act as an accumulator, smoothing out the pulsive nature of the exhaust. This would make the exhaust ever so slightly quieter, but I don't see it having an effect on the performance...
Thanks frank,
On the minute 0:14 of the video. I that it? What is that wire connected to it?
Regards
Belly93
to turbo or new lump :/ hmmm
the wire is pugged into the pump on the top of the tank mate
Cheers for that Enuo, i am not expecting a massive increase in performance or responsiveness, but would i be right in thinking that at a high flow rate this would negate the choke affect caused by the final size of the exhaust? So at high rpm with the constant flow at high ish pressure this would in fact draw more gas out and thus increase performance slightly, much like a laminar air flow? Low pressure causing a high pressure flow?

will do tomorrow
started modifying the bonnet grills to meshed type hope I don't bugger them up
