Hey all, I'm bored at work so I figured I'd make a little build thread to document my new 32.

Here's how it sits currently (Got new black plates though which look 1001234500101 times better)

Car was tuned by no other than DVS JEZ who managed to pull 307kws on about 18psi outta her

When I first bought the car I was a little concerned about running this sorta power on a daily but my mate I bought it off had been doing so for over half a year with no problems at all and I trust him and I trust Jez's tune.

But fuuuuuk she was a beast to drive.

So when I first picked her up the speedo didn't work due to the 25 box in it so I went ahead and ordered myself a new navara speedo drive from my parts guy at work, went and bought a little blow torch from bunnings and within the week , voila speedo!

Brought it into my workshop a few weeks after owning it and did a full service on it pretty much, tried out a 15/50 nulon fully synthetic, genuine nissan filters, gearbox and diff oil. About a month later I assumed the 25 in her would be pretty much on 100k, so apart she goes, new timing belt, tensioner and idler in, new coolant and she was swell. Should have taken more pictures.

But I blacked everything whilst it was apart

Then one day it started smoking when it came on boost, like bad.. filling the cabin suffocating smoke bad.. I checked the oil and coolant levels and the oil smelled like burnt dick so I figured I'd change it and try another oil to see if it made a difference. Sort of toned it down a little, sort of. But then I took it out for a drive that night, hit boost going up a hill in 3rd, started sounding like a harley, spat the dip stick, spat oil everywhere, game over hahaha.

So currently in the process of sourcing a new 25 to go in it as I just want a quick and easy fix cause I want it back on the road ASAP and dont have time to mess around building it and shit, I am just that stubborn.

Got a box of presents the other day, just building up the things I'll need when this I pick this new engine up.

Just got a genuine oil filter, spark plugs and a new nismo reinforced clutch brake, as mine is held in place with rivets and is bent sideways which pulls the speedo cable out of the cluster if you aren't careful, which is annoying. Looks to be a really back breaking job that I dont really look forward to.

    • 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.
