Seeing as rota dogged me i had to get a new set of wheels but i think its worked out for the best.

Work cr kai 18x9.5 +20

Very nice. Love the rims :)

Arx with colour-coded flares is sooo much nicer than the Holden Adventra-esque stock style.

As Alex and Craig have said, Nismo needs to be shiny and proud

Very nice mate. Suprised they don't poke more really. Car must be pretty low, by looking at the rear camber.

Clean up that exhaust mate - its a embarrassment to the rest of us NISMO owners :P

i think you should sell me that exhaust

You seem to know an awful lot about teh gayness today.

Wassup wit dat?

Just noticing a lot more m35 gayness at the moment.

I "still" want my friggen wing so I can loose gayness!

Alloy fan shroud arrived for the radiator.

Should only be a 10 minute job to move them, and other than that it fits ok so I'll see if Andrew at AM can modify them when I pick up the car.

Only 12" thermos?

I'm using 2 x 14" thermos on mine. Interested to hear your thoughts on cooling capacity.

Didn't give it much thought mate. All the per made shrouds I looked at had 12" fans so figured that was the way to go, knowing that if the fans are cheap Chinese shit that fails I can replace them with larger ones later.

I imagine they'll be fine. Aren't the stock PM35 fans 12"?

Feels good to be driving the whale again. I got the box in, fitted the mishimoto radiator and filled up the fluids, damn this coolant mod is great. ;)

I took it for a short squirt around the block, the box felt nice and tight again, I still need to fit the new 30 row trans cooler before any track duty. Kewish want me to bypass the line pressure regulator for full line pressure then they say it should be fine at PI. :)

As we used a spare box for the rebuild and stole all the good parts out of my old one, I found out the hard way there are two different dipsticks for the RE5. I had to shorten it by around 30mm and turn up a plate to slide into the gearbox. There must be a slightly different housing for later M35's...

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
