having created butthurt over at micra hq, ill predominantly update here. seem the old guard dont like it when two blokes get together in a shed and build something good (but not necessarily better) for 10% of what they have spent.

now i know it was a roller dyno, so the 169kw wont be spot on, but f**k. chill the f**k out.

oh well. i didnt set out to build australias most powerful micra, (even if i have, ITS A MICRA WHO GIVES A f**k)

they are seriously as bad as honda owners. haha. any way, research and emails have gone out to start the handling/traction upgrades. some 6 inch wide wheels with 205s and maybe an arch roll.

an old viscous lsd etc..... we will see what happens. for now im just gonna drive it.

also, can anyone point me in the way of custom mls head gaskets? i can go nissan, nismo(which ups the compression so a big no no) or copper, which im not fond off.

That's a big bump, on 10psi boost with E85 I'd be ok at 10.5 but a lot happier at 10, I've got 9.5 now and am jamming 28psi into it :D

LULZ.

we will find the limit of this engine one day. but i need a spare ready to go in., this is my daily for the next year. or until i get bored.

i do have the wrx to fall back on, but dont wanna have the micra off the road for more than 2-3 days.

I depends how you split your moneys, i see it as tyres are a consumable like fuel and rego though if your going through tyres at the same rate as fuel you've got an issue

Engines aren't much different to tyres, especially if you own a RB26 :yes:

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
