should be a laugh! my mates 2.0 16v nova was

cool me and a friend were thinking of doing this with his fwd bluey turbo.....would it not be easier to use one of these as the donor car??

Make sure its not a K10 Micra. I had one for a few months and it was the worse car I've ever driven and it couldnt even handle its low 65bhp...

Damn good idea. few tips for you, depending what shape micra you use.
The ca18et goes straight onto the n13 sunny zx gearbox using the bluebird release bearing carrier and then use sunny drivshafts aswell. The gearbox on the later sunny zx's were Lsd as standard .
Was planning this sortof conversion for one of my n14 sunny's when the silvy gives up the game, allready have a rad and a pair of drive shafts just need the box and some other bits and bobs.

You might want to put the brakes on it , but saying that micra pads come in racing material aswell funny that considering they are as fast as a trolley as standard.lol

I would try to use Sunny hubs as well. The micra hubs only take a smaller driveshaft so it will be hard to try to use the inner cv joints with small thin rubbish shafts.

You would be better using a bluebird engine though, because you will find an issue with the distributor being very close to the radiator otherwise.
