instead of the rotary (I think they won't let you do that conversion anymore as they changed an ADR rule approx 6 months ago) and it costing approx $7500 to move the steering rack forward and other bits to accommodate the rotary motor how bout sr20?

It fits, is as light as the bp6 so won't upset ballance and you can fit a sr gearbox and diff under them with out too much hassle. There is a company in melbourne that produce the mounts for this (laser cut alloy mounts) for bo th the engine and the gearbox. Well just a thought.

The skyline will prob turn more heads then the MX5 will...

But then again, lighter is better. The MX5 with a rotary would be a ton of fun, but how hard would the conversion be and how hard would it be to get it complianced?

No one cares about skylines anymore, I think a MX5 with and angry rotary sound would get heaps more attention

Well from those who know somthing about cars anyway, the GTR will still pick up lots of 16 year old boys who think GTRs are invincible.

The conversion has been done before, I think thay had a few problems findin a gear box that fits but apart from that everything was sweet

I could beat skylines (well, GTST/25T's anyway) in my old beat up Astina.

Whats your point? I still like my new car better then I liked the astina.

If you want to stand out a bit more get a GTR.

i want something completely different. its hard to be unique with modifying, especially with nissan. because its all been done before. plus they weigh so much. and gtr is bit outta my price range.

skylines are nice, but just not my sorta car i think. too big for my liking. i wouldnt mind a 34, but too pricy again.

That sounds nice and easy >_<

well thay were saying a 300hp sr powered on was an animal on the track, not that is not even pushing the sr motor very hard at all, imagine what would happen if you decided to say get a crate sr engine from someone like tomei or jun >_<

mike here is the website all about mx5's and their conversions. I know the member Low miata he can tell you everything you need to know about the early model mx5s >_<

rx7 gearbox and diffs, easy fit just new mounts.

i've had an sr pushing close to that and its just not the same as a rotor :laugh: you get all that revability with the rotor and the different noise to it, plus its lighter still (only by a little bit)

oh thanks troy >_<

just be careful with the conversion as they have like a reinforcement bar down the transmission tunnel (don't cut it in anyway as it is structual). It maybe a bit lighter but it ruins the handling of the mx5 (as it is a perfectly weighted car )

bullet cars >_<

they have already done a 20btt i have heard. i've been looking at some of their work, very nice. landcruiser v8 supercharged, and a gen3 v8 in another!

yes the bullet factory was an amazing place to go through I have the opportunity to be given a guided tour with the MX5 club and it is really well setup place but I can't afford something that expensive

I still cannot believe IanB is giving GTS-T's a hard time after his pwning last night!! I had to slow down to 60k's and wait a full 30 seconds for him to catch up on the twisty bits coming down from Nebo to Samford. Just face facts Ian, the GTS-T is just as good when it isn't raining!!!!! My car is heavier and has less power but the suspension work is where the gains come on the twisties!!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
