Been on here a while but has taken me a while to post up my car. Bought from forum member in January after selling my MX5.

Interior mods, Nardi wheel and nismo gear knob.

I am looking for another quality knob as I don't like most of the nismo ones. This one is a little square at the top compared to what I want. Any ideas? It must be heavy (see next pic!) and a direct screw in to the factory gear stick thread... I hate the ones with rubber grommets which don't feel solid.

Wheels are Kosei Direzza RCS 17x8 +33 front and rears 17x9 +33. Made in Japan and according to my research they are forged???? (Can anyone confirm? They seem light but not convinced they are forged. They look similar to WOrk KAI CR but not as nice :yes: Don't like how I have to use hex lugs rather than my Rays nuts which weight F*&Kall and look better). I am trying to find some extended blue lugs which will rice them up a bit.

I need to roll the rear guards (front already done) before I can fit the rears. I may also add my 5mm spacers and/or go to a 245/40 tyre (currently 235s). Front is very close to flush as is...

Funny thing is the Kosei's look smaller than the GTT rims. I think it is the extra lip on the GTT rims and the fact they are black.

Almost there with some power mods.

GTR fuel pump

GCG RB25 Steel wheel BB Turbo. Gave up on the HKS 2530 as most of them were too old and expensive for a s/h turbo. Got this cheapish with a good history so will see how it goes. Will be a bit laggy but good for track work. Tossing up whether to get injectors or just install it all and tune around the fuel supply. If the tuner thinks it will be 100% safe I will probably just go for it. Is 220kw asking too much?

and cheapie but strong (as in it actually seems to work) strut brace. Please excuse the sad engine bay:(

Nelson did his stuff on the rear guards this morning. Easy to trust him to do a great job. @$65 per corner money well spent.

Mixed wheel combo gone. Rears are slightly stretched so the profile is not quite as tall so gap is bigger:neutral:

But no more chicken legs from behind!

After

Now off to Tempe to get the tyres swapped over as the ones that came with the wheels are almost shredded.

lookin good mate. got contact details for nelson? did he say how far he can roll the guards?

He can roll them completely flat and flare as well if necessary. He is the only guy I know who does most of the car dealer work as well as some Porsche and Ferrari work. Nice bloke. Give him a call. Ph 0432 109 331.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
