Just a pair of standard Micra rear calipers, the rear drums and shoes are very worn and will need replacing at some point in the near future so instead i will fit these as an upgrade.

Best bit of brake upgrade personally.. Even better with the bias delete... Was boss
engine and gearbox out, seats out, front suspension out, pretty much nothing left of the front end, had the boot struts collapse on me while i was taking out the rear lights and landed on my head haha, then walked into the garage door.
also got some photos i took published in fast car magazine in the readers ride section!

Been driving around for a few weeks with an idle of 1500 to 2000 absolute nightmare, nearly drove into a junction the other night with no engine braking !!!! Been like it since putting in a new TPS
Disconnected the blighter today and the idle came down to 800 ....spot on. Why is it even there? won't be connected again.

It senses the position of the throttle. That's why it's there.
If you've replaced it and you're having issues. Something has to be wrong, surely.

Grrr... Knew I should have looked more closely at the box i bought.....
Turns out it s a pre-facelift 1.0 box, and I want a phase 1 facelift box....
Anyone want a pre-facelift 1.0 box ? £50 collect/deliver Aylesbury/Uxbridge areas, may be able to deliver to other areas too.
One day I will get the right box....

What year box are you after?
is it the 4:1 ratio box your after Matt? You can tell its a 2000 box as it should have the hole in the top for the flywheel sensor.
If its the 1999 the only was is counting the teeth on the CW

Yep that or you can work the ratios using a cluth drive and counting the input turn vs output turns.

that takes a bit of maths matt, without a 1:1 in the gear cluster

not yet, soon.
bought tommy/scott.c's micra, stripped it for parts and sold them on, good fun actually and pretty rewarding learning about it all, my old mans shown me how everything works and how to do things i havent done before and im making money at the same time!

Yes, what was wrong/faulty was the new TPS switch, been disconnected now 3 days....she's running perfect without it.It senses the position of the throttle. That's why it's there.
If you've replaced it and you're having issues. Something has to be wrong, surely.
In fact probably the best she has ever run - try it....you never know.

But without it you must be forcing the ECU to correct / guess something ?
Any changes in fuel economy?
Well she's running fine with no noticeable change in economy, seems to be the same in that respect. Idle seems fine with a lot more engine braking, sometimes to much !! Quite happy to leave it as is for now.
Next time I go scrappers I may half inch one just to see if it changes the running.

Took my seats out and swapped the bases over. 14 yrs had took its toll and the drivers seat was uncomfortable. Much better. It's like a new seat now.

took the hub bolt that was stuck to my brother and he got it off with the drill straight away haha, need to get one
Back to my disconnecting the T P Switch, gave her a blast up the bypass today, different car completely.
She's singing on 5 and 6k revs, smoother and more responsive and pulling all the way. Idle is a bit high on start up, but it soon settles down = well pleased.
Try it and see if it does the same for you ?
