On the 2 of November I picked up my freshly imported r32 gts-t skyline.

After previously owning a n/a r32 track car i can't believe I stuffed around with a non turbo for that long!!

I imported the car through motor man imports just off the pacific highway in Logan. Paul was so helpful there keeping me updated on every little thing, would recommend them any day of the week.

The car is amazing to drive arriving with a full roll cage and lots of other goodies.

The engine is a baby with only 77000km on it. Really the car is as stock as a rock but that's the way I wanted it, all up only coasting me 13k with full mod plate for the cage rego everything! Cudos to Paul again at motorman.

When the car first arrived :)

I have so many plans for this car I don't know where to begin.

First I got myself a pair of 18 inch wolf high performance wheels from a good friend of mine Carlo at csr performance parts.

These wheels stuck well out passed the guard roughly about 35mm so that of course led me to buying a full wide body kit from jase down t adrenaline auto styling. This guy has built some amazing drift cars and couldn't wait to begin work with him

Before the wide body

After all this love and attention the car was getting it still managed to find one terrible driver in the wet and yes some stupid learner decided to run into me !!!post-102647-13630421949239_thumb.jpg

Soooooo my pride and joy was sitting in my garage for a week in pain, luckily because the little amazing japs welded a floor brace and numerous struts the car only needed a new door and with the widebody job about to begin it really didn't matter!

So now I pick up the car on Friday the 15th with its banging new paint job and a new wide body kit, new coils are in the car and a dyno is booked in at mercury motorsports on the 21 of march.

Ill keep everyone updated!

Sorry about the shit post to new the sau!!!

Just don't look at the sale section on SAU or carsales if you want to stay that way.

Yeah heard only bad things bout mercury mste had his 34 serviced there. They scratched the side of it from front to back, didn't put the sump plug in probably so drained all the oil out over night. On another note welcome.

    • 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.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
