nah i dont think its a 98' engine, its definitely an rb25det, most of it has been rebuilt within the last year so the car would of been imported with the standard engine. im guessing it probably is just a mix up just wanted to see if anyone else thought that.. maybe i can just go into vicroads and get the details changed on it? i just put my vin on the VIN thread but it kinda looks different to the others that are on there.

i had a lot of trouble figuring out what my car was because:

a - some genius filled out the initial paperwork with the wrong information when i bought it

b - the car has a funny vin no. because the car was imported during a time where they gave them slightly different vins depending on what state the car was shipped to in australia.

google what each letter in your vin stands for and decipher the info that way - worked for me

i just looked at the pics you posted on that site of your car, and your vin number in fast. the car was originally a natro. i can tell this because it has 4 stud wheels and the ER33 vin number. the turbo cars all had ECR33 and if you put in ECR33 004493 you end up with a 2 door, gunmetal grey gts-t

going off the model number you posted, your car wasn't turbo from factory, and the things posted above (4 stud wheels and ER33 vin number) tell me that as well. unfortunately i can't tell you what exact year it is, as it doesn't come up in fast (but judging by the front bar, headlights bonnet and a few other things it is either a 93 or 94). it isn't the first vin i have tried in fast that hasn't brought up any results. i've tried it on a few silvias and 180sxs in the past and had some show up but not others.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
