handling & power > autosalon fagging

It's already fast enough with the GEN3 engine and current power mods. I might raise the boost later down the track but for now I'm very happy.

Handling wise, again it's pretty damn good (in stock form, mind you) but I am doing a few upgrades.

So far I have bought BC Coilovers, Cusco front/rear strut braces and I guess my lighter wheels and decent tyres count as handling mods too (or braking more-so).

Future plans include sway bars and a few other small things.

I'm not "autosalon fagging". The Recaros are for holding me in my seat through fast corners. If I wanted new seats for cosmetic reasons I would get my mate to retrim them for cheap.

I'm taking my car to Haunted Hills later this year so all these mods are for a reason :)

I've never seen an MR2 come with bucket seats from factory. Not even the late models. I don't doubt you though.

Here is a 1998 interior. These seats look a little bit more bucket-like than mine, but it could just be the angle.

The only differences I've seen are leather or suede trim upgrades.

Surely you wouldn't classify them as buckets?

^^^ those look like celica seats.

the late model MR2 GT-S (post 96... think that's a S3) came with some sweet optional leather buckets that cuddled your nuts better than a puertorican whore.

I <3 the GTR seats plenty of bucket for a daily!, although from the feel of them they wouldn't be very comfortable for a larger gentleman as they are pretty narrow and firm.

You should buy Aarons r34 gtr seats jezza :)

you're also a massive homo, so I guess that kinda splains it.

alex, I bought a boser metal extension for the hood this weekend. $500 delivered from the US :)

next paycheck = respray and panel work. also need to figure out how to pop the boot.... like any good pornstar, teh golf is havin her back door shaved.

thats steep but cheaper than custom, plus its like unique +10 baller points to you sir.

yes... i am gonna leave the line on the teks for a while....

oks i knew a guy sellin a pair ill keep an eye out for ya man

R32 gtr seats are the most hugging. But they still suck because they don't have thigh support so you still slide around. Still want that bride gias low max mmm

yea

r32 gtr seats are sweet

being a big boy, i was always worried my ass wouldnt fit in them

but when i went to take pics of jamies r32, i jumped in and fit, nice and snug

happiest day of my life

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
