After countless attempts at getting my R33 S2 Gtst to make good power, I am finally there and happy.

It is making 360rwhp and drives like a dream. Prior to this it was making 305rwhp with similar mods. The real difference - the tune (tuner to be exact). Sometimes switching tuners makes all the difference....

Dont want to rain on your parade as this is a huge jump just on tune but was it done on the same dyno in same conditions as this might be a reason for some gain which is not really there?

I am sure that if the car drives in such a way that he has been excited by it, the numbers probably are reflected in driving experience :P

agreed there would be gains just not close to 20% gain... also worried about the placibo effect you know it must be quicker cause the dyno said so...

i am not trying to be rude i just prefer stats that are real in terms of this... example is my car is identical to my brothers as in we are 100% neck and neck every drag/race but he has 28hp more then me... this is not my skill but a different dyno different day.

some tuners are lazy, and just pull a big chuck off the stock timing and smooth out the A/F ratio, sometimes not even touching the Injection map, they just scale the Air Flow Meter which is purely lazy.

I've borrowed a datalogit and fixed parts of my map up, and added more timing after peak torque (using a combination of old dyno graphs).

yeah there is a certain tuner/workshop in Sydney who tunes just like this...it was a mates car so i re-tuned it properly and made heaps of gains in power and response as well as fuel economy...and i cannot tune for sh1t but know enough to get things looking reasonable. Made 450AWKW the next day at Autosalon and won him a trophy...yay :D

this workshop charges big $$ too...pretty piss poor.

      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?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
