All About Nissan March K10.....

The original March (chassis name K10) was
introduced in October 1982 as a challenger to the highly successful
Honda City. It was intended to replace the Nissan Cherry as the
company's competitor in the supermini sector, as the Cherry model
itself had progressively become larger with each successive generation.
It was introduced in the European market in 1983, and in the Canadian
market in 1984. Although Nissan was slowly phasing out the Datsun name,
a small "Datsun" (ダットサン, Dattosan?) appeared on the tailgate for the
first two years, and in some European markets, the car was known as the
"Datsun-Nissan Micra". The March was initially available with an
extremely refined all-aluminium MA10S SOHC engine. The Datsun badges
had disappeared completely by the end of 1984.



The model was revised in June 1985, identifiable by the slightly
larger rear lamp clusters. The Japanese market saw the debut of the
first March Turbo/MA10ET, where Nissan grafted a turbocharger to the
small 1.0 L engine. Another facelift came in March 1989, which
consisted of some minor upgrades such as deeper bumpers, a new front
grille, minor interior details, and headlight changes. It also saw the
introduction of an electronically controlled carburettor, the larger
MA12 1.2 L engine with 60 PS (44 kW/59 hp) and a 5-door hatchback
version.



In 1988, Nissan launched a limited 10,000 unit run of its
homologated Nissan 1989 March Superturbo (EK10GFR/GAR). Both this and
the 1988 March R (EK10FR) featured the same highly advanced sequential
compound charged (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an
all-aluminium straight-4 930 cc 8-valve 4 cylinder Nissan MA MA09ERT
unit that produced 110 PS JIS (81 kW/108 hp) at 6400 rpm. This car came
with either a 3-speed automatic or 5-speed manual gearbox with viscous
limited slip differential, as well as options such as air conditioning
and electric mirrors. The March Superturbo still holds the crown for
the fastest production March in Nissan's history, with factory
performance figures of 7.7 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph)
and 15.5 seconds to run a quarter mile. It has a top speed of 180 km/h
(112 mph).



The March's chassis spawned a number of variations. The Be-1
(BK10), launched at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1985 (but not sold until
1987), was a limited edition model with a more rounded bodyshape, and
only 10,000 were sold. In 1987, the canvas-topped, retro looking
hatchback Pao (パオ) (PK10) was launched (also at the Tokyo Motorshow)
and sold to the public in 1989; 51,657 models were sold. The
canvas-topped Figaro (フィガロ) (FK10) coupé was unveiled at the same show
in 1989, but not released until 1991. Because demand for the Figaro
exceeded the 20,000 vehicles built, Nissan sold the car by lottery:
winners could place orders for the car. Despite being a JDM-only model,
the Figaro is one of the most imported models of the K10 derivatives;
its popularity among numerous celebrity owners helped it earn cult
status. The K10 ceased production on 21 December 1992. During its
lifetime, it gained a good reputation for reliability and economy.



In August 2006, the K10 was still receiving credit for its
impressive durability. An Auto Express survey revealed that of the
340,000 K10 Micras registered in the UK between 1983 and 1992, 96,000
were still on the road — nearly 30%, an impressive figure for a car
which had been out of production for 14 years. This gave it a far
higher rating than the Fiat Uno and the Austin Metro, both of which had
dwindled away to less than 3%.



In Canada, the K10-J was sold and branded as the Nissan Micra. It
came standard with the larger MA12S inline 4 cylinder OHC 1.2 L (1235
cc) engine. The Nissan Micra was finally discontinued in Canada in
1991, but many K10s are still running on Canadian roads today.
