Hello a few buddies of mine started this project when I met them about 4 years ago ,a RB powered Miata mx5 !!!

at first we installed a rb25 neo motor had to do allot of r&d and we went 9.8 @ 143 in the 1/4 mile. while all that was going on we had been working on a rb26 building it from head.to toe! The car now has a RB26 fully built with a powerglide 2 speed gearbox,GM differential,custom made axles especially for this car from the DRIVE SHAFT SHOP AXLES,a pair of 26x10.5 Mickey Thompson full slicks , Garrett gt42-45R dual ballbearing turbo,c16 race fuel,26psi making over 800hp and 600+ ft.lbs.tq

let me know what you guys think!

this was our 9sec pass On the 5 speed manual gearbox (still had the rb25)

This was our first pass on the powerglide gearbox we didn't know how the car was going to react we wanted to see what it did so we could dial in the launch and everything else after

We were so happy the car did so great on the first pass!!!!! (RB26 set up )the car is capable of doing 8's , the 15th of January we are going to import face off here in SoCal we are definitely going 8's !!!!

Hmm thats a very interesting conversion. Its amazing how many different engines have gone into mx5s over the yrs. I personally would've gone a TT Lexus quad cam. But hey each to thier own :)

No I wish lol the motor wouldn't have let us put the radiator in ,we wanted the radiator to fit and not have to cut the crap out of the front so we cut 3" off the firewall to make it fit better,and it actually worked out very well and were very happy with the outcome! The 15th of this month is import face off here in SoCal,hopefully we can hit the 8's,were very excited about it! Its been a long journey to be where we are now alloy if sleepless nights and R%D. I will be posting up the videos for sure for you guys entertainment!

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
