P11 1.6Si

[DAVIDEVANS007]

AH AT LAST another 1.6 owner ( mine was the red one on WWW.PrimeraWeb.co.uk )..... You sound like me..... i bought the Si cos i couldnt afford to insure the GT, then 4 years later i AM NOW THE OWNER OF A GT!!! . As for the filter, the only thing available is the replacement filter, I made a replacement pipe for mine like kev suggested and put a cone filter on the end.... i wish i knew you before i sold the car 4 weeks ago, you could have had mine for free !!, I got rid of the Si with the GT front grills, GT side skirts, Factory fog lamps, Powerflow custom exhaust, home made induction kit, 17" tsw EVO R wheels and new tyres, momo gear knob, lowered suspension and tinted windows !! I was going to take it all off and keep it for the new GT but i couldnt be arsed and thought i'd start afresh.

If you need to know anything about the Si give me a shout.... i must have replaced everything on it at some point..... only the engine was original when i traded it in for £1500

if you are going to the gathering of primera owners in September... I'll see you there !!

I think that’s just bad timing. I noticed your car on PrimeraWeb and that’s how i got onto this forum. I plan to do the same type of things to my car, i need things like the front fogs and grill and i would also like the side skirts. Engine wise i think i will just get the replacement filter and leave it a that. I will have to keep the car for a few years then progress on to a GT. It was quite annoying as to weeks after buying my Si a garage up the road from me had a GT come in and it was a special addition with the cool paintwork and Nissan 16" alloys, would not been able to afford the insurance but it would have been one hell of a car. I will try and make it to the Primera meeting but i am meant to be working, i will have to see the Bose.
If you know of any places i can get parts or if you have any general advice would be great. Thanks.

i got 136,000 miles out of mine before things started to go wrong, so your pretty safe for a while till the GT arrives !! most of the parts i fitted were bought direct from the nissan dealers as there are very few places selling bits for the 1.6 Si but thats the expensive option, i was modding mine before people started crashing GT's so scrap yards didnt have any bits in them that i could have had, like the grills and the side skirts, ive still got the old chrome standard grills. If you want to experiment by cutting them up your quite welcome to have them for free as they're no use to me any more..... if you get the fog lights you will need to replace the indicator stalk aswell as the fogs are switched on from there, the nissan dealers did the whole lot for me and i think it wasnt that bad a price from what i can remember.

as for the intake system best thing to do in the mean time is pull the plastic pipe out of the filter box, it makes a great roar when you sink the boot on the go faster pedal, you loose a bit of performance but it sounds wicked !!

The engine on your car is exactly the same as my 95 p10, so the induction kit will work, where were u going to get it from? all i`ve been able to find is a replacement filter:-/

well it is the right kit and it sounds pretty much the same as removing the tube from the original air box but without the performance drop.Fitting it is a doddle ,the filter goes on straight where the air box was ,you get a bit of pipe that goes from the cam cover into the filter and the vacuum pipe goes into the filter too .thats it ,job done

Cor !!

nearly a year between replies...lol

things have moved on a bit now with regards to the intake on the 1.6... there is now a company in the UK that is in the process of manufacturing a cold air intake kit to get the filter away from the top of the throttle body... Its being tested on an Almera from the AOC... I think i can successfully say that PrimeSi has found all the info he needs on this subject as he and many other have been part of the NPOC for over a year now
