That is awesome! I am very jealous on two points, first the Nismo S (we need pictures!) and second, the Nismo event in Japan!
If I may ask, when and where was the event in 2019? I am assuming a...
After installing the Curt hitch, I can't see how any other hitch can claim a higher tongue weight. I think they're just piggybacking off of the class standard.
I actually think it's good on Curt...
Pretty easy to search up on this forum or online but I'll bite:

That's the hitch most members including myself have...
You've probably figured this out by now but there are two clips in the bottom of the center console on the back bottom of it around the middle bump in the rear passenger foot space.
The clamps...
The Kicks idea won't work. It uses a totally different intake manifold with intake manifold runners and a specific tune with the CVT to make those numbers.
Installing a custom ECU is pretty much...
Just thread the stock shaft to Nissan spec with a tap and die set. Canadian Tire even sells the kits/handles (frequently on sale). I believe I ordered the correct thread pitch from Amazon though.
...
Just adapt to 1 1/4" like already mentioned. You've only got 100lb tongue and 1000lb tow but I woudn't recommend testing that limit.
I have the Curt hitch and it was pretty easy to install. I...
This.
Even most cheap battery banks (especially dual usb port models) have a 1A port that won't charge a modern phone faster than it drains. Car tech is ancient for the most part and we have the...
Dual port injection. It's one of the reasons why I went with the Micra.
Cheap + manual transmission
Port injection (no carbon buildup issues)
Naturally aspirated
Chain driven
DOHC
CVVTCS...
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet but it appears that the new 2020 Versa Sedan in the States essentially has the k14 Micra interior and the engine from the Kicks.
However, the new...
To piggyback off of this, its most likely a noise stemming from pad movement. Lube them accordingly and it'll be fine. Just make sure you don't get lubricant or grease on the rotors and pads faces....
It looks and feels like the day I put it on there. Not a hint of any wear or tear yet. I've had it on for almost a year now. Definitely still recommend.
It hasn't shifted or stretched at all....
Yup, it was sprayed. They force you to get the winter package and basic coating here. They do a **** job of applying both of those things to every vehicle that comes on the lot and are non-negotiable...
That's very likely. My running average over winter was 8.0L/100Km... Cold plus idling all the time to warm it up.
However, I do find the tradeoff pretty good in our little 5MTs between power, fun...
What are you installing alongside your new headunit?
After a bunch of trial and error I got a Sony WX-920BT double din installed with a PAC SWI-RC steering wheel interface.
Had to disconnect and...
As soon as I stop minding my driving habits, it goes right back up to around 7.2L/100Km.
It's definitely not a bad area to settle down in if you're at the right point in your career. The real estate there is a joke compared to anywhere out West (huge housing crisis in the Yukon too).

I did some testing on my end the last two days since replying to this thread.
It's been -5 to +5 here (all the wind bringing in some warmth from the Pacific).
Average on my 2017 SV 5MT:
-...
I'm not sure if moving to New Brunswick helps that case haha. I'd take almost anywhere in BC over the east coast any day.

Record low for Squamish is like -17 unless you live up on one of the mountains. Then again, I've never been so what do I know :p
A block heater will do way more for protecting and heating up...
You could just get some of these beasts:

Any particular reason for running a grill block? It doesn't get cold enough to warrant one where you live and in the summer they can only stand to do damage to your vehicle if you leave them on. In...
With modern synthetic oil, they say you can run 10,000KMs+ before changing it.
I decided to give it a shot on my 2017 Micra 5MT with its first oil change. I did end up topping up the oil once...
I honestly hate that feature. One of the first mods was unplugging the wire that turns AC on automatically.
Then again, it's super dry up here.
