I got through the last 2 summmers here in Adelaide but this one I have replaced the radiator (the top tank split) and the car is waiting on a new turbo but apart from that it is a great car.

It can be a bit sluggish in the heat I just dont boost it that hard.

Never had to regas aircon and it is still super cold

And car never ran hot except for the radiator problem

I think a bigger intercooler is a must for next summer

AC could do with a regas, has anyone needed to regas their M35 at all. .

Nope, never had a re-gas and is still awesomely cold :)

Aaron, puhleeeeeeze don't get Andy started on a water spray for the intercooler

Andy get started! lol

I would only want it to spray as Im accelerating, or in a more proper way to come on when i get to 10psi.

but is it gonna give me much of a gain seeing as the temp sensor is in the AFM? which will back the timing out if its hot anyway..

run a hose into the washer bottle and use that one. or piss off the rear washer hose and use that motor.

or put in a valve to activate the front spray instead of going to the rear.

there are plenty of options!

mmm.... all controlled by the factory stalk.

I like.

Plus the way the rear dribbles water out is practically useless anyway.

LOL

I await flaiming for this.

I found a very small twig off a tree, and strategically shoved it in the nozzle of the jet. My luck it sprayed perfectly around the window and wiper, until it fell out and went back to the useless dribble.

      NC MX5

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
