Hey, Daryl,
FYI for anyone else wondering what a Nissan Micra (never imported into the
USA) is:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Micra>
This is a great idea that I-who-reads-this-list-religously never heard of.
The only problem I see is losing that vintage original open fuse box. OTOH,
considering that new wire is $20+ per roll....
Did your Micra harness colors match the Roadster harness colors?
Do you have a pic or three showing it installed?
Thanks.

Subject: Wiring - 80's Nissan fuse box
A while back someone mentioned using the 80's Nissan fuse boxes for a rewire
project. They are made to bolt to a flat surface.
I have seen them in 10 (Micra), 15 (pickup), and 20 (Sentra) circuit
configurations with the relays (3 or 4) clipped right to them. Fairly
compact.
The terminals are relatively easy to pull out and re-arrange with the
correct size wiring. Pick up a 2nd box to make sure you get enough of the
larger wires with the terminal ends on them.
I used a Micra 10 cct box with 3 realys to add the MS to my car. The box
with relays measures 15 cm by 8 cm by 8 cm tall. (about 6" x 3" x 3" ). The
Sentra 20 cct box is about an inch wider.
Cost from the wreckers with the complete Sentra harness, 5 relays etc.
$35.00
So, thanks for the pointer, this is working out very well for my project.
Daryl
