Engine is in. Nismo mounts and urethane gearbox crossmemmber mounts fitted. Engine feels nice and tight. Whole car moves when you give the motor a push.

'Engine in' was a lot easier than i thought. Gearbox, tailshaft and passenger cv is on. Everything else is left. 

Pic for your troubles lol rb25 swap ?

Hey want, just read your thread, what internals did you end up going with and what turbos are you going to run?

No strokers or anything, nitto bits, kelford cams, and eventually single turbo. 

starting to put stuff back together slowly. Theres about a million and one little jobs to do, part of it a catch can setup.

This is the stock pcv in the balance tube

I wont be plumbing the catch can back into the pcv so i replaced it with this

Much neater than sticking a bolt in a hose. For those playing at home the thread is a 1/4bsp.

Are you going to go with the Garrett the workshop recommended?
I'd say they 64/66 that's advertised on here is a good buy, might be able to get my hands on a 6boost manifold to suit it as well.
That turbo on a 26 is insane!
The most fun you can have with your pants on!

Received a package from platnium racing. Definitely a quality piece of gear. Everything packaged really well and fits like a glove. I removed the stock r35 coil stalks and fitted the prp ones. Bracket and loom are mint. Genuine nissan coils supplied eith kit also.

You inspired me want, I just bought the coil kit from Hypertune. I got the black anodised bracket

Niceeee.

Ive been waiting for my ard alternator since december. Pretty frustrating waiting so long but what do you do.

Fuel system is done. 8an feed and return. 1 walbro 460 in the tank, another 2 460s in the raceworks surge. Turbosmart fpr2000, bosch 1650 injectors in an aeroflow rail.

Primed the surge tank and after a few minutes primed the fuel system. No leaks so very happy about that. 

If all goes to plan i should be mere weeks away from firing this thing up. Keen to hear this thing idle and race it.

So my Ard alternator finally turned up. That is now in. Same size as the old one so basically in and out job.

In other news. Couple boxes turned up. Had to do a test fit! 6boost with gtx3584rs. Loved the smell of new parts haha

Looking tough, what are your plans for the gearbox?
Mines been upgraded to series 3 components but that’s still not strong enough for 500rwkw so it’s all up in the air right now, I want to go a ppg gearset and billet flex plate but all up that’s around 12k.
I’m planing on giving the box a freshen up and putting a twin plate clutch but that’s just temporary.

No plans for the box. When it breaks ill prob just throw another one in or rebuild mine for now. No decent option without spending north of 15k so its not going to upgraded soon.

Going from basically stock to this level was costly.

Single, sexy :)

Curious to see what you'll make/do with the 2.6L and static cam - I might get bored one day (when the car is finished and running properly) and upgrade to a GTX3584RS too to be like you.

How do you plan to run the pumps?

Always on or will they be turned on when needed by the ecu, or something different.

    • 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.
