I don't think I saw you :( I didn't get a 1.4L, if you can stretch your budget a little further the 1.5L is much punchier and better on fuel. Better brakes as well. The 1.5L has a completely different engine & transmission (same as the Tiida) to the 1.4L (same as the Micra.) Also the CVT auto is better than the standard 4-speed auto. But they are a fair bit more expensive. My 1.5L 7-seater was over $17K on the road, and that's at the cheaper end of the scale (the 1.5L 7-seater is the most expensive.) Mine's a 2005 model :)

yeah i wasnt looking to spend that much, ive been looking for comparisons between the 1.4L and 1.5L but havent found much other than what youve said which is its more punchier, 5 or 7 not really phazed, the one i was looking at had the woodgrain interior as well though you could most likely just buy that through nissan for any of them ah well, probably looking at a 95/96 micra now anyway the cube is a bit too much to spend for a daily (i live in croydon north and work in chirnside), this is my inspiration lol :P

Bah just buy a secondhand n16 pulsar for 5-10k. Much better car than micra looks wise (the new micra I'm referring to of course) 1.8L of awesome :P 5-600 km per tank on 91ron. Best na car I ever owned.

That's what i'm doing in July.

I can haz Sierra Cosworth?

fkn amature move.

go to UK, buy a $30 flight to Netherlands, buy a brand new RHD Merc/Audi/BMW in pimp spec limited edition (something hard to get in oz, like one of those 11ty hp turbo diesels or someshit), jump on a ferry back to the UK.

BAM, car in the UK without paying retarded UK taxes.

A year later... BAM, car in oz that is worth double what you paid for a year ago. Flip it and do it again for the other year of your remaining visa.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
