on that note.. in the R32's, the thing in the centre console behind the gear stick.. is that a cop holder when you pull the flap up and lock it in?

thats the only thing i can think it is.. cans fit ok, but not perfectly.. stupid design if it is though..

No offense but if any of you have seen "BY BY" which is a UAS car I believe, very few cars are as "JAP" as that.

White, stickers everywhere, GT wing, carbon bonnet, big 18" rims...

btw. I have bronze Rays Volk TE37 Mag Challenge rims coming on my car? Is that too "JAP"?

you say 'jap' like its a bad thing :P

loz is the perfect example of the jap look! :P

gtr80y looks like its going fast even when its parked lol :)

when he was over at my place in the garage of my units, one of my neighbours walked past and went "oooooh going racing are we boys?" :lol:

<rant>

nothing says jap more than a see thru plastic phone holder and matching cup holder jammed into your center a/c vent to the point where the fokin thing crumbles the moment you pull it out and have to wait for years to meet up with OOHSAM to get a replacement one.

Then there's the tissue dispenser thingy in a bamboo box.

And MD/CD Double DIN player with purple (why purple always?) led display.

A pingu thingy somewhere in the car.

Some sort of ioniser thing which creates ozone molecules that bind to smoke particles and neutralises them.

Brace pads on either side of your knees (if youre captain dorifto)

A HKS guage readout thingy in your glovebox which conceals itself when the glovebox is closed (this is very nifty actually, coz u the gauges are there only when u need em)

A Sat-nav thing which again makes no fokin sense except in kanji which sucks coz you can't read anythign but harigana. And the manufacturers never imagined the car ever leaving Japan and don't sell any plugin modules for any other country except korea.

An HKS or Blitz airbox or air filter.

A sticker that says your a member of the Japanese Automobile Community or sumfin (with either 3 to 5 skulls or a dog with a thumb up)

A jap number plate and a authentic Nissan Skyline Jap numberplate surround

A numberplate relocator for the front bumper to allow more air into your FMIC

A emergency toolkit that includes a white flag which you tie between your car and the car towing you or being towed by you so no Japanese men on bikes or on foot try to go between the two fo you.

Oh and the most important one, the Round sticker on windscreen with a big number that tells you what month of what year the car was registered on.

And a couple of other stickers for jap parking permits and automoticve clubs, stickers for every friggen garage that services your car including the local petrol station. And an ETC card to allow you access to something or other jammed way into the recesses of the driver side sun block flappy thingy.

</rant>

oh and if you wanna look dorifto l33t then apply a shitload of bog to the corners of your car, esp the rear corners, don't bother smoothing it out... whack it on and scrape it off in the general angle of the panel.

did you think of this just now or have you done this before eh :P

when i was in the process of respraying my 180, there was a stage that the whole back half was in pink spray putty, after all the back was straight and i hadnt moved up to the doors yet, the doors forward were black still.

I went through a maccas drive through and it was a classic, the guy said,

"been doing a bit of drifting eh mate?"

i wish i had a pic of all the stages my car has been in, it looked like a jap accident.

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • 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.
