650Hp Nissan Micra V6 Twin Turbo || Mid-Engined & 4WD Swap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2020
- The outrageous Nissan March of Glenn Hodges was once again at Leadfoot Festival, now faster than ever. Converted into a 4WD, Mid-engined Monster, the VQ35DETT powered machine is now producing 650Hp/700Nm to all 4 wheels, capable of a 0-100Km/h sprint in little over 2 seconds, despite still using a H-pattern Gearbox. Driven by Touring Car Racing Legend Paul Radisich, this was the 11th Fastest Car at the event, narrowly missing the final Top 10 Shootout.
For those unaware, this is a creation of Glenn Hodges of The Lab Limited in New Zealand, a former Aircraft Technician, who set out to transform the innocent Nissan March into a Group B of the Modern Era. Using mainly Nissan parts for all the project, we have here a 350GT Skyline engine aided by a pair of Garrett GT2860RS turbochargers. Power is then transferred to the 4 wheels through a late model D22 Navara five speed gearbox, with brakes from the 370Z and much more. You can find much more about the build and Mr. Hodges projects on his own Channel right here:

Thanks mate, a bit less than two weeks before we stretch her legs on a full open circuit! :D
Amazing car! Love that it has a manual
Did someone like RML originally build a Micra with the Nissan Super Touring running gear?
fucking top.motor mate!
@@ianjobernsdrivinginstructor I think he was on a skid factory episode and said seeing that car was what made him see it could be done
@@kiwijzx9475 Yip that's correct, a mate and I had already discussed in detail various options for the build.
I had come up with VQ35DE+TT in the back transverse mounted RWD OR longitudinally mounted 4WD.
Had a wee Google search and found it had been done by RML in RWD. Researched some details, got it done, blew gearbox twice, converted to 4WD :)
And it's a MANUAL... That's gotta be a handful to drive.
For proper drivers for sure ;)
You should add a pneumatic paddle shifter to the steering column.
Ofcourse its manual
Especially with how small those fucking gears are this could be done in most 3rd gear cars. Dude was going 1-4 on this small track
@@koettfaers Why do you say of course it's manual?! It could quite easily be sequential, in fact I'm surprised it's not. Faster gear changes. Fact. And if you use paddles, then hands on wheel all the time. Better. Don't get me wrong, I love a manual, but in a micra with 650bhp, there's no way I wouldn't go sequential with paddle shift. My opinion.
The coolest thing about this is the H-pattern gearbox
Little, way too powerful, wide and H-pattern... a proper driver´s Race Car ;)
@@HillClimbMonsters yup H-pattern and it squeals like an angel
The drivetrain is from a "pickup" called Nissan Navara
@@HillClimbMonsters Definitely takes more than a couple of seconds off your times, though.
When the turbos spool for good this car moves FAST. Like, REALLY FAST, IT'S SCARY.
This mighty micra would destroy the Goodwood Hill at the Festival of speed. I’d love to see this V6 Micra go up against the Aston Martin V8 Cygnet or an old school 6r4.
Metro 6r4 lives on in spirit with this amazing car
205 T16 trumps the 6R4 in my book, although they're both insane and I'd happily have either! Or both!
DrewRallye me too
I swear driving a stock nissan march feels like this because it's right at the edge of it's abilities taking a gentle curve at 100kph on SH1
HA ha ha ha!!! often the most fun is had in a slow car being driven at a moderate pace, fast cars become boring at normal speeds :)
This is the definition of madness. Amazing driver and car!
Micra GTR:)
The first nice micra that I have seen.
Would rather Take the Micra than a stupid modern supercar.
@@marvinlinnarz5856 Why :D
@@verttisyrjala2897 because it has still more Soul than those Terminator Like Cars from today.
Barely 1/4 throttle used . I’d like to see this car on a track using wide open throttle. Impressive driving keeping that thing rained in .
Here ya go mate, last session in this video I opened her up a bit more, only running 14PSI boost in this video, bumped it up after resolving a couple of minor set up issues in the tune.

The Lab thanks for the link I’ll defo check it out 👍
Oh wow, after seeing the super duper widebody bambinas on Hill Climb Fans I always thought the micra would be the perfect widebody beast to do the same to it. Awesome!
I've been following The Lab channel for quite some time, really pleased to get and enjoy his beast even on yours with your quality. Thanks!
Our Pleasure Mattia ;)
This would make the perfect commuter, just add a child seat in the back!
On top of the engine?
@@jihadjoe whoops...guess not.
nopsFU yeah if you prefer your children well done 🍖🍗
The ONLY Nissan micra in the world that isn’t embarrassing to drive
A person driven by ego than I guess that "may" be the case for you. 😂
@@samusaran7317 stfu
Grandpa's first choise for Hill Climb.
I use to own a 160SR, such a fun little car, wish there was more tuning options through.
This is such a beautiful piece of work! Not even near full boost and it's just asking for more! Wow...... This Micra is Insane!
They achieved the impossible. They made a Micra cool
That shouldn’t be allowed!
Ridiculously badass. Bravo.
When just been on tick over sets the car alarms off....another beauty of a video
Thanks James ;)
Brilliant machine! Will be great on track as well
Damn this monster sounds so brutal
Nissan must be kicking themselves for not releasing a limited run of these and not entering WRC. Great job!
Excelente!
Muy bien filmado.
Saludos desde Argentina.
Silly Kiwis! Bloody awesome ae! From a country that gave the world McLaren, Britten, now this.
I use to buff floors of shop that Paul's fuel tech owned , only in NZ 🤣
Mighty Atom ! 💪🏻..... got to be one of the coolest hill climbers yet 👌🏻
Wow! What a weapon! 👍
This build is impressive, I wrapping a v6, tr os and the 4wd layout to that tiny ass body, and still making it look cute.
Wow, what a car!
Looks like it is very fun to drive. 👍
That’s a mental micra my daughter drives a micra 1.2 lol so wish she had this one
Great race .
Nissan micra will never have more than 27 BHP . Its a dream
That must be fast.That small car man!
This car is a litle monster i love nissan 💓👍
that sound... second best sounding v6 after stratos
That thing is nutty 😍
thats a dream boat!!!!!!!
Things a beast
Nice car 🤗🤗🤗
He's barely getting into it. This car must be insane at wot.
is it necessary : NO
Is it cool : YES
This has to be terrifying
The way it looks in the turns, the weight ratio must be spot on
About 618kgs on the rear axle and 600 on the front, might have changed a little with some minor tweaks it's had but it wont be far off that.
Monster.
Greetings from Brazil.
Sempre bom ver público Brasileiro a apreciar HillClimb Racing ;)
Pikes peaks sound.
Escudo... :)
The new Nissan MICRAAAAAAAAAAH!
I wish the vq35 in my car sounded this good
makes me feel better about my nissan micra
That's for sure the hearth of the GTR R35... V6 twin turbo 3.8 liters... What a sound...
No, the engine of the R35 GT-R is the VR38DETT. This is the VQ35, as used on the 350Z, here with 2 Turbos added ;)
@@HillClimbMonsters thank you for the information! It sounds amazing!!!
I did my driving test in one of these :)
That's O for Oarsome! Finally a VQ engine that sounds mean AF - now if only I get get my 21 year-old Maxima to sound the same...
oh my goodness
Epic 👍👍👍👍👍👍🏁
we love.
Raise that front spring set n drift up those tiny hills
Wooooooooo My God!
Wow, impressive! What do you think of a sequential gearbox?! I bet it'd be much easier (and therefore more fun) to drive!
Great job mate!
We have talked about a sequential box, there are a few reasons why we haven't but really the big one is the money involved, we do have good support from sponsors but this car is essentially privately funded. Our biggest sponsor supplied the gearbox it has off their shelf and I think in some ways even though it could go quicker with a sequential box it's probably more fitting to use an OEM Nissan unit. (at this stage) :)
Intense! If Nissan ever made a teensy car like that with 1/2 the performance of the car featured in the video, I would buy one; in other words, I will not bloody likely ever buy a post-2003 Nissan (thank you Carlos Ghosn).
I would love to engine swap my K13 Micra but I could not find what engine would be best for a small car.
car looks weird but man does it sound good
First k12 anyone ever liked? lol, Awesome job
Are thy going to bring this car as street version with the 109hp 4 cylinder motor. I like this 2door wide body look.
Micra GT-R
I have micra K12 but I would like to have this one :)
It's like back in the days in Gran Turismo when you tune some regular car to unreasonable power levels just because you can and it's fun.
Hillclimb Racing is good for all Automotive delusions of grandeur one might have ;)
DAAMNN !!
The only time a Nissan Micra actually will attempt to kill its driver
Little Godzilla👍
And cute too.
I wanna do this to my micra
You cant say it isnt unique!
Which engine did you guys use for this
Basically a R35 GTR swapped, Mid-engine Micra/March
Nebulacore98 its a 350z engine tho
Ok, kool
Superbe cette micra à moteur de gtr , enfin je présume! J aimerais tomber sur une Citroën bx 4tc préparée comme polytechnique en coupé disputer une course de côte! Merci HCM!
Our Pleasure Pierre ;)
Merci le plaisir est partagé Mr HCM! :)
Noob here, is that whining noise a supercharger?
A Kiwi car! No way
that's quite the slow shifting but that shifter looks reluctant to go anywhere..
It is literally a truck gearbox (small pickup/ute depending on your country) so high speed shifting isn't a great idea, while it MIGHT work most of the time, if it rejects a shift and you end up needing to put power down but can't select a gear ..... not going to end well.
It's the same family of gearbox as the R32 & 33 GTR, the Z32 300ZX and the RB25DET powered Skylines, none are well known for high speed shifting.
@@TheLabLimited so they hold the power but you lose some time , check
How to add power to my k12. 1.5 diesel?
It really wants to stretch its wheels out
😍
Just like Renault 5 turbo, small body with powerfull engine.
That's fucking RAPID
Like 👍👍👍
Can we get Nissan micra
No we have nissan micra at home
Nissan micra at home:
I remember a similar micra was built a few years ago ,just like this 1 by a group of students as a project ,I wonder is this it ?
Nope, this is 100% our creation from start to finish. Nismo UK had one built by RML that was RWD in east west config and with no turbos but that's the closest thing to this one I know of. there was a black one built with Mitsubishi EVO running gear that is probably faster but deff not as cool :)
@@TheLabLimited yeah the nizmo car ,that's the one, i think it had a btcc primera engine in the back of it ,I don't think it was half as developed as this though It's a beast !
@@johntomas5170 Yip started life with a four cyl BTCC eng and sequential box, was a bit hard for media to drive so they pulled that lot out and fitted a VQ35DE with six speed manual H pattern box.
HUGE money went into that car as I understand it, our car not so much money but a lot of time and effort :)
@@TheLabLimited I have 2004 Nissan March; would love to do a mod like this with it....any advice?
@@h.a.martin958 if you just stuck with the RWD conversion like RML did for Nismo it's actually not all that complicated.
Buy a Maxima, chop the entire front end out of it including strut towers and subframe mounts etc and then graft it into the back of the March.
adjust spring rates etc to suit.
Sound's like volumetric compressor +turbo ,are you sure that is just double turbocharged??
100% sure ;)
How about a video on that monster behind it at the start?
Time will tell...
I wonder what Richard Hammond would think if it was a convertible and light pink
A box with a motor
Hi, whats the frame work on this car? Enyone who know the car can get me a little intel.
Jump over to our channel mate, plenty of details to be found there :)
I would so deliver pizzas in that
is this getting sold any time soon? 😍I want it
Make an offer, you never know....
Nissan March
These days the japanese can fit anymore than a 3 cylinder in a city car, its phenomenal
Vr38dett ?
а можно Дэу Матиз ГТР?;)
IS THAT A MICRA?!?!
