Here is my 'project' car. One day my dream car after I spend a lot of money on it.

Some of you may have seen it (me and my husband) on Saturday at Racepace

Place looks familiar! Seriously listen to these dudes on here / same thoughts as me on the engine build.

First new oil pump, sump mods, water pump, fuel pump - then look at turbo's, exhaust, new engine loom and ecu, intercooler, radiator, oil cooler before opening engine and filling it full of aftermarket stuff. IIRC your car is spot on compression wise.

yes and no....

would be silly to upgrade oil pump and not do custom drains and restrictors... might as well just not put oil in the thing :P

I

Saw it on aus-vip

Winner with black leather, any mods planned?

Haha, of course!

Already got VS-XX coming and trying to make up my mind on what suspension to use to go a little lower.

I've also bought a K-break grill and now doing research on whether it's easier to fit Z33 brembos or z34 Akebonos :D

To which car? I just sold a set of Akebono's as I didn't want to run 19/20's.

Edit: Just clicked the link.

Are they the same brakes as the 350z touring?

I don't know, I've only just started reading stuff.

Over in the US, they've put both brembos and akebonos on these cars but I'm not sure how much modding needed to happen. I also read some people over there were having some success with fitting the CZ Performance Akebono conversion kits for z33. Again, not really sure if they were bolt-on or not.

Yep!

Also people under-estimate certain OEM parts.

And do the short cut round.

Oh nice will look good by the sounds of it!

Was hoping to go a full k-break kit for my majesta, but those $$$$$ :P

Yea, K break make nice looking kits with price to suit but they're a lot cheaper than Junction Produce. Love the JP kit for the y34s but they're way too expensive :P

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
