Comments / Modifications:

The car makes a very stable 245.9 rwkws but at the time, it had a sliping clutch which you can see on the top of the dyno graph where it gets a little jaggedy, that'd be the clutch jumping around a bit.

This has since been replaced with an awesome, genuine Exedy kit designed for the GTR so it can really take a pounding if you wanna upgrade further.

Also, the plugs were gapped down to 0.65mm to stop the misfiring. This also has been adressed with replacement Splitfire coilpacks, and the plugs returned to 0.8mm. Zero misfires! :blink:

I might get it back on the dyno and see if the clutch and splitfires make a difference to the top of the curve, and maybe crack the 250rwkws :D

The car has been tuned by The Hitman in Penrith.

Most people have heard of him and his reputation. Excellent!

It has a very standard look apart from the the Apexi Rev Speed Meter and a Blitz Boost Gauge.

The car is in excellent condition.

I had it inspected before I bought using Sydney Vehicle Checking Company.

They gave it a well above average rating and said that it's unusual to find these cars in this condition with NO rust and NO panel damage. So I bought it.

...if you haven't heard of them or used them before, they go over every panel with a magnet tester looking for signs of bog/rust etc...

It was bought from a fellow who imported it just to make a buck, which was fine by me, so I am the 1st Australian road registered owner.

Never been dragged (althouhg i'd like too), but has been to the Wakefield Raceway once when it was on the standard turbo on 7psi (4 yrs ago). And I'm no race driver so it's had a pretty easy life.

Other people with the HKS2535 have made mid 12's on the drag.

Robo's (i think) had mid 12's on the 2530 and then made low 12's on the 2535

( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/PB...5-s-t74271.html , this is his 2530 thread with the 2535 reult in his signature )

Time to downgrade unfortunatley and get some cash for house reno's :)

Also 5yrs ownership and me getting older, it's time to move on.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
