Havent really done one of these things before but i guess ill just wing it :yes:

Just over a month a go I bought this modified C33 Laurel off an old work mate. He had owned it for a while but decided to sell it when he didnt drive it once during a whole 12 month rego stint.

So she was a little dirty but after a little clean up came out alright.

She has the following done:

Engine: RB25DET Neo

Transmission: RB25DET

ECU: Power FC

Turbo: VG30 hiflowed on standard manifold

Suspension: Tien coilovers all round

Other mods: FMIC, 3' exhaust, Splitfire coilpacks, 640cc injectors (havent confirmed?), full cage!

All the mods are modplated and all legal (mostly ;) )

All the work was done in Japan before it was imported for my pleasure.

Couple little things I needed to attend to...like speedo not working, lack of clear on the LHR quarter and respray the front bar.

Was super happy how this thing went for a Nissan, believe it or not i didn't even have to pop the bonnet for 2 weeks!

Took it to a track day and had a blast. Beat alot of things, got beaten by alot also

Had a problem develope at the start of this week where i was loosing my clutch pedal if i didnt keep it pumped up. On investigation found the slave wasnt really sealing at all. Threw a new one in and all good again

Being the apprentice at Hi-Power Racing in QLD was time for a little touch up tune to clean it up a little. Learnt alot from that. Need to look at another turbo setup in the near future. Maxing power output at around 15psi.

Was always wondering why my left tailight was darker then the right like it was tinted. Found out on the dyno :/

Plans for the future arent too crazy. Thinking,

High mount manifold

Forward facing plenum

GTX35r

Fuel system for e85 or eflex

5 stud conversion

One thing i can say is i really enjoy something so unique that everyone can enjoy and appreciate as much as I do. It is turning me into a bit of a photo whore though. :yucky:

      So you're now accepting offers of 10% more than the cost of the turbo kit fitted?

      Alpha omega racing bracket

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
