after a little bit of research, i decided this was the route i wanted to take, and found a shell that had basically everything minus what is included in this package.

***pics soon***

mods that i am planning to install to get the car running:

HSD - HR Type Coilovers http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/hrseries.htm

KAAZ L.S.D - Basic - 1.5 Way http://www.slidingperformance.com/store/in...mp;productid=74

future mods that aren't so important:

- haven't decided yet, but either 17" or 18" wheels with a decent offset

- comfy bucket seats for driver and passenger

- gauges, boost controller etc.

- upgraded brakes (rotors, pads and brake lines)

iv been looking around at different brakes, ecu's, coilovers and gauges and decided on the following:

dba slotted rotors, hawk hps performance pads, goodridge braided brake lines, tien super street coilovers, defi gauges and a kaaz lsd (probably a 2way).

after i while of getting used to the car il be upgrading to a microtech ecu with hand controller, aluminium radiator and some 17" rims.

God damn a 1J in there will be pretty crazy to drive I reckon. They go good in a fat arse soarer imagine it with only 1250 kgs to push!

Just out of intrest sake do you know what your 1J weighs?? and is it VVTI?

Cheers.

-custom crossmember and custom engine mounts were made

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
