Hi all. Thought I'd introduce myself as I might be meeting a few of you at JAE this year. Been on AOC for a good while but have also signed up to Club Nissan and now NPOC.

I've got an N16 Almera SXE with the 136 2.2 dCi engine. Really enjoy the drive and beats the power of previous cars anyway so it puts a smile on my face Big%20smile. I'll give some more details on the car in the Members Cars section.

I know the engine and gearbox is shared by the later Primera's so would welcome any info on these that I don't know already! Although I will be browsing the forums now :)

Not a bad thing, always happy to see you guys popping over now and thenThumbs%20Up
 
As you've noticed tho, the AOC membership extends to all things a normal member on here would have with the exception of the members cars section. That's the one thing thats gonna remain a Primera-fest.
 
Pop some piccies of the motor up in here mate, always nice to see new motors about the gaffRockon

heh makes sense ya don't want Almeras cluttering up the whole place!

Brief history then... Not my first Nissan. Learnt to drive in an F reg Micra owned by my parents. Reliable and solid. Swayed by Nissan because of the Micra, later had a 51 plate Almera Activ 1.5, also reliable.
Here it is:


After a while got the urgh for more power

I'm pretty picky when it comes to cars (well, arent we all?!) so it took ages to find the spec I wanted, a Grey 3dr, 2.2 dCi 136, SXE (I also wanted a sunroof but they were so rare I would have been waiting for years!) Finally found one in January and I've been really pleased with it since

How it was from the garage:





...and how it is now
Mods:
Clear repeaters
Seat Leon Cupra R front splitter
Phase 1 Almera rear lights
Blue painted calipers
Debadged
High flow air filter panel
KYB Excel G uprated shocks
H&R springs
16" Rota Grid wheels (205/55 tyres)




Before I put the rear shocks on:


Recently used Meguiars 3 step cleaning system, with Autoglym wheel cleaner and they worked a treat!


Shocks

and for the hell of it, a 'working on' shot


Got a few more plans for it, with re-map being top of the list as soon as I find out a little more about my ECU (Densos annoy me). Just had a service and MOT and got through with no problems. Ya gotta love Nissans
