Starting today - ID1000's, Nismo Plenum, all fluid lines, Re-tune, Brake Booster, MBC Stopper, Engine Dampner :w00t:

and broke again :/

Know that feeling, just got the GTR back from ESP, was throwing P/S belt after installing a Ross Balancer (Funny that). Also got a new fuel pump installed. Total was a cool $1200, and that was with ESP looking after me. Also was told that the current tune was rubbish, so thats $900 down the drain :( But not throwing belts so :D

Nope that was the old tune, from quite a popular tuner in sydney. That cost me $900. ESP had a much better price on the tune, but on the condition that i listened to the "PFCs are crap" speach. Which to be fair they had some good points.

Lol - Dont you know. It's Vipec or Haltech. There endeth the lesson !!

I know if you take it to a shop who knows your car and tuned your car previously you could expect around $450 for a re-tune.

Which is realisticly 1-3hrs labour plus consumables (plugs). From Scratch it's $900-$1200 depending on Tuning house.

All that aside I have complete faith in Glenn with my Haltech ECU. Ive used several ECU's over the years and 4 different tuners based on the ECU iwas running.

ESP+Haltech = :D

That's just me and thats all that matters.

Agreed, i wish that I had the cash to make it happen but i'm still recovering from rebuilding the engine :(

unfortunately I had a new E11V2 Haltech that I let go for around $700 several months back, with the adapter for R32 GTR :( sowwwwy....

and on the upside I got a near new 2nd hand Haltech Platinum 2000 for around $900 - :happy:

Keep an eye out in the FS section. They do come up .. Buying new from a shop is just so exy

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
