You're doing a beautiful job detailing. I bought a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with 82000 miles off of a 87 year old lady. I'm going completely over it and replacing whatever it needs. It's a challenge keeping it all original.
I painted my valve cover recently (turquoise) as the gasket was leaking and i wanted to do it anyway, and i tell you, a bit of cleaning and a freshly painted cover go a long way to make this car engine bay look good. I also painted the exhaust manifold cover in black and gave the whole thing a thorough cleaning, and it does lok very very good.
Absolutely brilliant job my Friend! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I initially thought you’ll also paint the brake calipers red - as every race driver knows that they give you another 10 horsepower extra performance and the car can go much faster than ever before just by having red calipers (only joking)… 😉🤜🏻💥🤛🏻😎 Keep up the fantastic work, can’t wait for the next episode EJO! 💪🏻🤩🤘🏻
Check the rust on the cross member under the radiator where it joins the chassis . It's one of the most common failures on the chassis and will stop an annual inspection being granted .
Great work! You should definitely check the cooling hoses that go into the firewall and connect the cooling system with the heater. The fittings there are plastic and they disintegrate...
Like the way the most fancy and clean thing in the engine bay was the Borsch S4 battery. It is normally advised to wrap the alternator and ecu in a bag before jet washing. Your car managed it...
I really enjoyed your video! We are kindred spirits in the fact I like things on my car to be neat and clean. It makes maintenance much easier when you can see and handle things. Nice work and looking forward to more videos.
Wax is there to prevent rust at panel joints and part that are known to rust easy, and on electrics to prevent moisture to contacts. Lots of old cars have wax between panels, to prevent rust between two sgeets of metal, like hoods, doors etc.
Hey Bro... I also recovered a Micra K11 at my Channel and i really enjoyed to work on it and probably i will buy another one in the future... Keep the Great Work 💯🔥
Blev helt chockad när jag såg detta, då det visade sig att du är svensk och gör detta. Du gjorde ett helt fantastiskt jobb att ge liv och kärlek till bilen och längtar och kommer se mer av dina projekt.
Thank you! I just did because I wanted to vary the oil pressure a little bit. Don't think it matters much though... But if the instructions says only idle then you should go for that. 👍
I like the way you explain and record the job. You should’nt install rubber brake lines, much better racinng/ metallic brake lines. Regards from Spain!
Thank you for your comment! Honestly oem style rubber brake hoses are completely fine for 99% of situations. Many high performance sports cars comes with rubber hoses from factory and they work perfectly good on track. However, steel braided can give you a better feel and better pedal feedback, but good quality fresh oem hoses are rarely the week point in a braking system. 👍
Riktigt nice vid dessutom så har jag köpt olja på oljemagasinet i många år grym service och grymt kunnig personal tack för videon.Men gärna mer sånt här vill vi se.
Vilka underbara minnen man får när man ser dig jobba på en gammal Micra. Detta kommer bli riktigt bra när du är klar, och det röda topplocket var ingen dum idé 👍
That intake resonator is huge my god lol. you can cut it off and plug it or plug it without cutting it off. It's what I do with every car i buy, sounds 100x better
8:56 you’ve used screw clamp instead of flex one which was before, are you sure that it won’t be leaking when engine will change temperature? Usually flex ones are used to compensate temperature size changes.
#EJO, you are highly exaggerating with the 10HP from the valve cover. It is more alonge the lines of between 3 to 7 HP depending on the color. So please do some research next time before claiming such high numbers. :)) Amazing cleanup under the hood! You are awesome!
The underside is rusty, but is it a cold country? Replacement parts are coming out one after another, but this model "Japanese name is March" is getting less and less, so please take care of yourself! ! ・ [From a former Nissan employee]
I dont know if anyone asked this before me, but can you please tell me the rim/tyre spec what u put on it ? i really like the look of it and im looking for a new wheel for my micra, thank you!:)
Hi, EJO. I enjoyed the video very much. Regarding the heat shield for the exhaust, would you also consider using a penetrating oil on the three bolts? The popular penetrating oil that has the long red straw is what I have. I intend to bend the straw around the back of the shield in order to try to spray the bolt, and do what I can to hit the bolt head from the outside too. And let it soak for 24 hours. Just so I can avoid drilling out the bolt if it has rusted badly. I guess the exhaust manifold will smoke and smell bad for a while - but wouldn't it eventually burn off and not be a factor? Do you still remember the size of the bolt you replaced, by chance? I'm doing something similar. With the same mindset actually. I did an AC delete and moved the alternator. The brackets for the ALT were very rusty and I sanded and painted them - came out great. Thanks in advance.
12:39 add some coke zero about 1 litre to existing liquid and lit it work fore little time then flush it, coke will remove all rust and salt from inside
Hello I have nissan almera n15 from 1996 with the same engine if im not mistaken. I'd like to clean the whole thing but i am afraid how will the fuses react + actually how anything electric will react. Any advice? My mechanical skills are on 0
Possibly the best Nissan made for practical affordable driving , and the Datsun bluebird in the 1980s it's what all the Asian taxi drivers used in the U.K . If you are not sure what basic car to buy in any country , look at what the taxi drivers drive , too tip (:
@@ejoautovideos I have a year 2000 smart car that the snow has not agreed with have electrical and mechanical problems and can't find anyone to help me! The car is in Vasteras. Can you help or know of anyone please thank you.
why did you keep that rusty bolts on that freshly painted valve cover, even though you replaced the heat shield bolts and the hose clamps? anyway, nice work! 👍🏼
日本国内向け仕様とヨーロッパ向け仕様でかなり違いがあるのが分かる。日本国内向けだと2000年型でもディストリビューター点火だがこのモデルはダイレクトイグニッションになってるし、ついてる補機類も日本仕様とヨーロッパ仕様でずいぶん違う。 今後、日本から中古車で輸入されてくるK11があるだろうが、同じ右ハンドル車といってもUK向けマイクラと日本向けマーチで結構別モノだということは覚えておいた方がいいかもしれない。 You can see that the Nissan Micra is quite different between the Japanese domestic specification and the European specification. For the Japanese market, the 2000 model also has a distributor ignition, but this model has a direct ignition, and the auxiliary equipment that is attached is very different between the Japanese specification and the European specification. Regarding the right-hand drive K11 Micra that will be imported from Japan as a used car in the future, be aware that there are big differences in various parts between the Micra for the UK and the March for Japan, even though it is a right-hand drive model. want.
I enjoy seeing how an old rusty exhibit turns out an attractive and well maintained car. You have done that again!
Thank you so much Anton, really appreciate that! 😊

I wish you the best for you and your Pontiac. 👍😊
awesome maintenance work.
love how you transformed the engine bay.
Thank you so much buddy! 😊
For stubborn hoses. Use hot water from a thermos. It helped me alot when I was changing my clutch master cylinder in -15c cold.
Really nice transformation, its nice to see these regular types of car get some love.
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that! 😊
"Everyone know that red valve cover gives u extra 10 HP" 🤣🤣🤣
Yoeddynz says you should file the sharp corners off the battery hold down you made. Thanks for not having ridiculously loud music.😁
I did file the worst of it off, I think they look sharper on camera than what they really are. 👍
Love this type of videos from you! Good luck and keep it up! Greetings from Romania!
Thank you so much Sir! 😊
we have essentailly only these cars in my college workshop. And to be honest they're probably the nicest cars ive ever seen and worked on
So much fun to work on 👍

Nice! I can imagine it looks really cool 👍
You did an amazing job, wow!
Thank you! 😊
this is what my "new" starlets engine bay looks like, with a lot more oil around the now replaced filter haha, gonna take some advice, looks good
No comments Great Jobs guys👍👍👍
You could paint the screws for the Valvecover black, it would look great!
Absolutely brilliant job my Friend! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much my friend!
Hehe yes but it would unfair to add 20hp in total. I want to give other cars on the track a chance 🤣🤣
Loved this! Excited to see How it turns out 👍🏻
Check the rust on the cross member under the radiator where it joins the chassis . It's one of the most common failures on the chassis and will stop an annual inspection being granted .
Fortunately that cross member is mint, barely any surface rust on it! 👍
However the rockers/sills are pretty rusted on some places :/
Jäklars vad snygg ventilkåpan blev! Ett förhållandevis enkelt jobb som ger ett påtagligt lyft.
Verkligen! Tack för kommentaren! 😊👍
Yes!!! Love seeing cheaper cars getting restored!
Right? Thank you buddy! 😊
Tack för alla projekt du visar, både väldigt trevligt och inspirerande!
Tack så mycket! Uppskattar det enormt. 😊
Very nice! Cant wait to see how you progress with this car. I love little old go karts like this haha
Me too! Thank you 😊

dunno why for sure, but I really love the way you work on your cars. cheers from russia, much love
Thank you so much, it means a lot 🙏
So satisfying! I only wish he had done all that to my own Micra 😅

Nice work bro
Once the car is complete. Do get it cleaned and use undercarriage anti rust if needed.
Looking forward 😃
Greate video, as always. One thing, I was using engine flush few times and manual always stated to not rev engine, only idle.
Thank you!
I just did because I wanted to vary the oil pressure a little bit. Don't think it matters much though...
But if the instructions says only idle then you should go for that. 👍
man sad ,man watches Nissan Micra restoration episode ,MAN HAPPY

Grymt avsnitt🤩😍
Tusen tack! 😊

Perfekt Job 👍👍😊

did you reinforce the drive shaft and drive joints or are these original?

That intake resonator is huge my god lol. you can cut it off and plug it or plug it without cutting it off. It's what I do with every car i buy, sounds 100x better
I will probably make a custom intake 👍
@@ejoautovideos Was hoping you'd say that lol. Can't wait to see it turn into a track monster.
Which oil u using for spraying on engine bro
Fantastiskt kul att följa detta projekt! Bra video som vanligt! :)
Det uppskattas, tack! 😁
Try and find a GA16DE or GA14DE airbox 👍 they are getting rare these days!
Yes, I'm planning on getting that or making my own custom one
👍
Regarding battery. So only need to disconnect the minus on the battery?
8:56 you’ve used screw clamp instead of flex one which was before, are you sure that it won’t be leaking when engine will change temperature? Usually flex ones are used to compensate temperature size changes.

any details on the stainless steel hardware?

Amazing cleanup under the hood! You are awesome!
😂😂 You got me!
Thanks bro, I appreciate that!
What product are you spraying on it
Sorry but the button on the right near the headlight adjustment what is it for?
The underside is rusty, but is it a cold country?
Replacement parts are coming out one after another, but this model "Japanese name is March" is getting less and less, so please take care of yourself! ! ・

Why do you fill up the oil filter before installing. i never do that. i just put it in and then let the engine run for a few swconds.
Where is the PCV valve located on this car?

How did you paint the text on the valve silver?
The text protrudes out, so I simply just sanded the top of the lettering so that the metal shows underneath 👍
