oh another thing, anyone here driven a laurel before and whats people's opinion on them??

My mate has one, has had for about 3 months now! It's white slammed and has 17's i think. Looks hell phat, never been in it so don't know how they go, I asume just like a Cefiro!!!!

anyone here comtemplated getting the bride copies (seats) from just jap. my seat is wearing out on the drivers side and although i dont mind getting a pair would only really require one. in saying this, would like to know if anyone's seats (driver or passenger) is wearing out and thus dont mind going halfs in a pair with me....or not.

only thing that is holding me back from buying them is that you need to modify your original rails to the universal one's. i sure know i cant do it, might have to give pete a buzz. oh that the head clearance of the seat itself. someone here on sau bought and installed a pair in his line, yet to see pics of it though.

1/ too many tyre kickers, one person test drove it to the point in which one of the piping blew off - due to too much boost. not impressed was the least on my mind.

2/ one of my bro's is using it more frequently then before so it serves a purpose now and not just sitting in the shed like it did before

uncomfortable from your perspective is understandable, you take LONG drives indeed.

one guy could not drive the car at all. he said that my clutch was not functioning properly. another guy stalled it at least 7 times!!! and even when he was able to just get the handle of it bunny hopped everytime into 2nd gear. needless to say, i dont need the sil80 to be coping that kind of treatment, as it would be me who would be paying for any cost occured as a result of any parts being stuffed.

:lol: clutch not functioning properly

yep, i would imagine they would have had fun with that clutch

i spoke to the previous owner of the car not long ago, and he said something along the lines of if you launch it in 1st and grab 2nd, more than likely that your gear box will blow. Think it happened to him twice. :P you wont hear this happening with a rb25 gearbox now would you?

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
