i was asked why my car is so special to me and i answered accordingly, so i wouldnt see how it effects ppl.

They didn't ask why your car is special to you, they asked what make's it special compared to the hundreds of other r33s you see on the road.

thanks heaps mate

now thats an idea, i might make a custom design in photoshop or something and put it on the car, if not ill peel it back and try something else...thanks for the idea.. im definitly gonna try make a design tomorrow..thanks mate much appreciated

put up pics once ur done.... :dry:

ur ideas 4 the kit were great, n i wud notice this car to be different from the 100s of 33 that i see......n its a very neat example of a 33 aswell..... >_<

Thanks for your kind words mate,

i will definitly post up some HI RES shots once the weather clears up and i put the sticker on the back..hopefully this wkend coming.

the comment from dan22 should say enough mate, if other members are saying it stands out then that puts a smile on my face..Its different because most r33's all use the same few kits, the 400r and the gtr copy. i went and purchased 3 different panels from 3 different companies. If this is the same as every other r33 out there post some pics of something thats street driven and different and i dont mean this in a smart ass way, i just wanna c what others think would catch ur eye

ey i think u should all leave mr_crust alone (all over a sticker ppppfffffffttttt). He should be able to put a sticker on his car without having to pay thousands to a mechanic first. I think its great he did most of the work on his car himself, "if u can do the job urself, y pay some 1 else to do it"

no one said he cant put a sticker on....

they're saying, why put a sticker on for a certain workshop, when you're car has nothing to do with them.

What makes mine so special you ask? Well the fact the i worked my ass of to save enough money to purchase a REAL jap sports car without any loans, like most guys my age (21yo),and then spend in excess of 10k in the first few months of owning on mods, so its my pride and joy so thats why its so special.

On top of that no real workshops have touched my car, all installs have been done myself or family, which is a top accomplishment for me and has saved me thousands...

im gonna get a custom made sticker it seems.

100% get a custom sticker, if you do all the work yourself then wack somethign on that represents that. I reckon that would be ace plus why represent a workshop when they have done no work ;)

This thread has turned into a bit of a cat fight now.

Mr crust - your car is sweet

    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
