nice work craig!!!

what parts do you need?

exhaust Gasket and 2 x AN fittings for the radiator!

Oh....just remembered the SP still needs to be fixed!

Edited by Jetwreck
I got a bit carried away in the grass events at the local car show. I think I dumped the clutch too hard in reverse gear... :)

Gunna get it fixed in the new year. New diff, uni joint for the drive shafts, get the rear diff checked out, brass button clutch is a little noisy so that will get a look too.

I am keen to have an A1 drivetrain. Does anyone know if these cars will handle 8000RPM launches? :D

Do you have a triple plate clutch?
Nah, he fly's back in some time tomorrow apparently.

Yeah he's been on the forum a few times lately. Did he enjoy KL? How many dudes did he shoot, any tournament trophys and shit? Chuckies crackn a sad, bcos he lost his license for three, great radar detector. lawl. so fck knows wen the nxt stag meet is. On the dl, maybe his place. Prolly after xmas now.

I keep forgetn you gots kids. I cant stands kids this time of year. no offense. bless their little cotton sox. lol

well not really. we are going to pull the plate out and machine some grooves into it for sealant (factory sump has this, 3l adaptor plate does not).

also....its just a daily not a race car. it will never spend 15min at 6000rpm like it does on the dyno,

fingers crossed it will be ok....but I will be struggling to have it back on the road by xmas

Checked on my adapter plate. Comes from Hytech engines and is steel. Owner Dick says his one has been in for 2 years with no problems (550kw R32GTR) but he has seen some aluminium or aluminium alloy ones which he said would expand at a different rate.

:/

Sif!!

I am a redneck from Kelsmcott :(

Had to attend a funeral at lunchtime today, and despite starting at 5.45am this morning (trying to put my insomnia to good use) I am still here at work ;) Could today suck any harder? I submit, it could NOT!!

Yes it could. You could have no job to complain about. btw, it sounds like coffee is your problem. lol.

is reknowned as the worlds most expensive gourmet coffee. Saw it at a spice and tea farm in Indo. I was only game to try the gin seng coffee and i was bouncing off temple walls for 5 hours. :/

Funerals are a real life changer. Death really grounds you. Ive been to 3 in the last year. Glad that fckn year is history.

Finished getting the car running :(:/;):(:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Drove it home last night at about 12.30AM.....lucky as the Exhaust system still had shit load's of oil in it :blush:

All is good though.....great motor!

thank's Dale....finished it at Midnight!....just had the suction pipe properly done this morning....car feels awesome!

Down for the tune next Tuesday/Wednesday!.....come on Mexico :down:

Awesome work Craig, phenominal turn around time from when you finally got the motor to having the car on the road.

Good to hear it's back on the road Craig :)

Be interesting to see what Cihan can do with the eManage and the Nismo ECU next week

:down: fingers crossed for some good results! We may have some eManage + Impul results in the not too distant future too :D

just go easy on the way back from mexico dude, i dont wanna come down there and collect my boot load of gear :D

:down: It is sitting here waiting for you mate

Edited by iamhe77

its too damn far, and im not enough mods along to need a tune myself just yet lol

that said, i havent done an oil change in a while, with the nismo ecu still learning, i got 540km from the last tank of about 70L. thats with some spirited driving also. im pretty happy with the economy of this ecu even though i have a boat load more power/torque!

ok, fair call on the employment status. I was "unemployed" for most of 2009 but I still managed to work more than 70 hours a week :D At least things arent that bad.

Oh, and about the coffee - YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!11!!TY

*hugs french press* dont listen to the bad man, he knows not what he says

:down:

I am not clicking that link either, and I refuse to drink coffee made from beans shat by weasels. That whole stupid idea was thought of by the same people that think its OK to rape perfectly good coffee with tinned fkn codensed milk. I enjoy a morning cappacino as much as the next oversized-sunglasses-wearing-hipster, but tinned condensed milk???

540KMS?!?!?!? thats f**kn annoying mine running rich with all the mods n doing about 350-400kms MAX!

I hate you! :down:

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
