Had a 98 1.0 k11 micra and currently
have a 02 k11 micra 1.0 the thing is the older car had a higher top speed. It would cruise all day at 80 and would get up to 100 eventually. The 02 i have now is much slower and struggles between 70 and 80 and if im doing 80 and i start going up hill it Will struggle to maintain speeds of above 65 to 70? Is this normal with newer k11 micra.s? Are they less powerfully? ------------- Wherever you may go there you will be |

What is the mileage of both cars?
CG10DE The 1.0 L (998cc) CG10DE was built from the introduction of the Nissan Micra K11 in January 1992 until it was replaced by the K12 series in 2002. The engine originally produced 55 PS or 60 PS (41 kW / 44 kW) @6000 rpm and 79 nm @4000 rpm. In 2000, Nissan removed the distributor and replaced it with coil packs. according to wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_CG_engine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_CG_engine
Maybe it has to do with the maintenanse.. Also there is (about) a 5% (acceptable) difference between two (same) engines horsepower at this displacement. Or check: catalyst, cables, spark plugs, filters, brakes, injectors, engines compression.

iirc thay changed the gearboxes ratio in the face lift K11 1.0 is more geared to town work if your doing motorway work you ideally need at least a 1.1 - 1.3 FYI most police forces are dropping the speed thay prosecute at to around 92-95 MPH leading to a instant ban of 6-18 months |
