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.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
