Back from WINTON!! 1:54s with the MICRA!!! ^_^

Winton Trackday by Tampered Motorsports - 6 / 11 / 2007
first PB set on the Micra: 1:54.4650

thx to charlie Kang for the pics:
Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket



many ppl asked why i didnt bring the 350z, and why would i bother wasting my time with micra... well my answer is:

1. i would bring and drive any car to the track anyway...
2. at this stage i'm not going any faster with the 350z after 4 attempts resulting in 1:41s. i promised myself to try a different change then back to the zed again. sometime you didnt realised that you have overlooked few simple things just because you have been taking it for granted...


well this is my first time in the micra, 1.3lt 55kw 103Nm, 800kg. spec on the day was DIY PVC intake kit Razz, nissan pulsar front brake + RDA slotted, im using low treaded bridgestone that i got free from dan c2888... its 185/60/14.... thx dan... they are still very good compared to the bald one i has previously...

on the first session of the day i was lucky to be able to clocked PB of 1:54.4650... after that, i never get close to 1:54 anymore (was only 1:55-1:56 with few slower run with passenger)

at first, its abit hard driving the micra, coming from the 350z... i used to have all this torque and any mistake i made wont be significance as i can just plant the accelerator and it will look like nothing has ever happened...

with the micra, i have to try so hard to keep the momentum up. the slightest mistake i made will cost me few sec and i will never see those sec again coz i just dont have the power to make up for it. this reminds me alot how important it is to shift the weight properly and keeping the momentum around the corner... get all the braking done before the corner, and only brake when you really need to, no more messing around, accelerate all the way whenever you had a chance....

i even got few oversteer that i would never be able to catch if i havent driven rwd before... and lift off on micra is a no no. its eaither im on the brake, or on the accelerator.... never in between....

at the end of the day, i was surprised that the micra has reminded me few things about driving that i have forgotten since i started driving the 350z. it is a great little car with a great solid built. perfect gear ratio for its power made the car feel more sophisticated and not slow at all... i must say i love the micra and will definitely keeping it for the long term along with the 350z....

Overall results on the day: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?06/11/2007.WIN.P1

Front brake Upgrade! :)

Front Brake Upgrade:

caliper comparison:
left - stock micra 1.3 ; right - nissan pulsar N14 2.0


piston comparison: left is the pulsar one, right is the micra one...


micra stock rotors VS RDA slotted for nissan pulsar 2.0

thx for Johnny from On the run motorsport for supplying the rotors! $170 for a front pair is quiet a bargain....

installation was pretty straight forward. its a straight swap. all i need is just 1.4mm washer from bunning cost $0.20 each...


done, the cheapest brake upgrade ever! Smile




another minor details:
removed the glue/double sided tape residue off the old side moulding by using the 'caramel' wheel i got from the paint shop... thx for shaun, and jally for helping me doing this...


and thx to dan c2888 for helping me fixing the sagging door Smile i pick up replacement hinges for $10 each...

Nissan Pulsar 2.0 Front Brake

went to self serve wrecker and found this babies....


Brake Caliper from Nissan N14 Pulsar SR20DE
it should be straight bolt on with 1mm washer...
it has 53mm piston and this will take 252mm x 20mm, vented rotor (compared to stock micra CG13DE caliper with 47mm piston, solid rotor, 234mm x 12mm)

they are not pretty, but does a good job and wont fade after 3 corners like stock micra brake... i will clean them soon... Smile

i pick them up for $28 each, and the guy didnt even charged me for the brake pad (supposed to be $20 for the pads and its still very thick). i didnt take the N14 disk rotor coz they were all in very poor condition...

next: RDA slotted vented rotor...
