Hello all,

 

My name is Ethan and I am from Columbus, Ohio, USA. I have a 1991 BNR32 that I purchased 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it.  Car has 100k km/ 60k mi , is the KH2 Gunmetal Grey, and has some mild mods- Blitz Pods, Blitz BOV, 5Zigen catback, tein coilovers, some fancy strut tower bars, turbo timer, track timer, projector headlamps, n1 grill and aluminum hood, and BNR34 wheels.

I am hoping to upgrade the turbos, install an EBC, get a bigger fuel pump and injectors, and turbo back piping. I am very new to this platform, so I am here for advice and information. 

A little about me, I am a husband and father of two. For work I am an IT consultant, hobbies include guns, video games, and car things. I also own a 1978 Datsun 280z with a L28ET and  a 1991 Mazda Miata with a Ford 302 EFI. I suck at intros, if you have questions, don't be shy.

Nice car, but holy shit show me the MX-5 with the 302! :O

 

Also, welcome!

I’ll dig some pictures up. It’s a slow moving project. 

Electronic Fuel injected 302, flat top pistons, GT Cam, GT40p heads, Trick Flow upper and lower intake manifolds, BIG billet throttle body, mustang GT ecu, MSD bits, Mustang GT T5, 8.8 IRS LSD rear end out of an SVT Cobra Terminator. 15x9 and 15x10 diamond racing wheels, low pro pop up projector headlights. Better suspension, brakes, and roll bar to come.

Welcome! Firstly I suggest retrofitting your headlights with LHD HID projectors. The stock ones are shit house and added bonus is of course LHD cut off.

 

Also, pictures of the Z and MX5

I’ll have to look into the LHD HIDs, the headlights hadn’t crossed my mind yet. Have a link? Honestly, I’d love some flash modern looking ones, but it seems like they all require an imagination and taking apart factory ones. I would prefer just bolting in. It also surprises me that no one makes a single unit, as opposed to the headlight/ turn signal two peice. A lot of the cars sold here in the States in the 80s and 90s have aftermarket one peice options available.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
