Hay mate im looking for parts as well. You can get lots of Nissan mags form W H Smiths they have some web adds in there to get some parts. If you don’t have a clue on where to start don’t put a turbo in yet. Iv only just started modding my micra to iv got Sports manifold .only. K&N panel filter, not for long.
I want to get it slammed and some 15"s that’s a start. Hope that helps. |

Off topic but in response to GT:
You can lower the car 30/35mm using standard shocks with lowered springs, just like mine :D Pic of mine lowered 35mm on standard shocks. With 14" Nissan 100NX Alloys.  On topic: I think the Manifold you're going on about is just the standard Janspeed manifold, not one designed for a Turbo. |

Nah got this from ebay. The kit does look nice, more photos will go up once the skirts are painted and fox 15" alloys r fitted.
The kit is a real pain to fit, none of the mounting holes do match up!!! It would have been finished but the cars off the road after failing its MOT :'( |

I think it looks better on Pre-Facelifts though!!

Kit designed for the pre facelift, so fitment should be better for these.
Bumpers did need some modification to them in order to make them fit properly, but nothing TO serious. Have seen kits from respected companies with similar fitment (not matching up for full 100%) |
