I herd theres a modded MR2 down there in HBT with a huge Greedy sticker over the door, looked nice but what has it had done to it........... anyone?:D :D :)

Just thought i would answer your question on the MR2. Hes one of my mates, hes had the car for about 5 years and only had about 6 months of actual driving time. all work is done at howell, and the car has just been heaps of problems.

first they had trouble programing the computer, it had to be sent back to melb. then he got it all going and it made 220rwkw. he changed his total setup again and all of the running gear, turbo, intercooler and computer went into a red MR2 with chrome mags.

he got it all going with all of the new stuff, then it started leaking water, howell thought that it was a water pump and when the car finally went in it was a cracked head gasket and the motor was cooked. howell said that he wasnt going to cover any of the repairs but i think they have sorted it out so that hes not going to get charged labour.

when the car is running though, it flys. huge power, hardly any weight in the car!

i hope that answers your question.

Yo Roaldin,

You got that Apexi installed in your GTR yet?

Im running a GTR R33 VSpec and Griffo is just about to install it for me...any joy?

Not yet. I have had some trouble getting decent information about them. The manuals I have are for a Mazda and a Honda. I was hoping the computer would control the boost without having to use a separate boost controller but the FC won't see the map sensor. The business that sold it to me are no help at all.

Good luck with it. Let us know how things go.

Tim.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
