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.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
