Install seat and seat belt and it can be driven.

But before it gets driven it will get some semis and bolt on flares and a bit more weight reduction and some tidying up.

Still deciding whether to leave the torsen diff in it for it's first outing or put my mech center in now.

Do you see now why we said your car was too pretty to be a nugget?

yeah, it was dumheds.

the torsen is a really nice street diff, they are great when you have weight over both wheels and provide good drive (so no single spinning the inside like a shagged viscous) but once you unweight or lift the inside wheel it goes open as you apply throttle.

with my penchant for bouncing off kerbs i can see it not working for me too well.

Also dumhed had issues with it spinning up on med to fast sweepers so he installed the big rice wing to keep a bit of load over the arse end which helped. That didn't come with the car so it will have that problem if i don't change the diff.

tmb is waiting to see how the new light weight bonnet turns out.

If it's good i'm sure he will give you the contact details.

Both boot and bonnet require pins so no good for street cars....

Eventually it will get a turbo.

I already have the 3071 off the old car and i have a low km s15 engine that i picked up as a partial trade on some bits.

So there's a new rear housing, manifold, cams, springs, rocker arm stoppers, gate, and head gasket to get into it before install.

The car already has an s15 pfc installed so it's an easy swap.

short term is get some flares, get some new semis on my 17x9 +25 sterns, tidy it up a bit and drive it.

Not so short term is full re wire, more weight reduction, and some paint.

Engine is a long term one. So about 6 months or so depending on money :)

The r32 was scary. This thing will be in a different league once it gets a turbo. The previous owner has already got it into the 9's as it stands and i used to dive past it on the straights like it was standing still....

My old GTR diff does that but you can drive around it. Just have to drive better. (I'm not saying I do - just that I can tell the difference between getting a corner right and getting it wrong.)

bah! I'd rather cover for my lack of ability by jamming a better diff in it at zero cost :D

Sound like you need to invest in a nismo clutch pack bob :O

That's the way. I would.

One day, that would be nice, in the meantime I just try to drive smoothly.

      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.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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 ...

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.
