its nearly time to start modding the 33 so i thought id see if anyone could help me achieve the best results

im gonna be fitting a 3" exhaust from turbo back so i need ideas on places that do good exhaust fittings. im also interested in keeping it quiet to attract less attention without loosing any power (if possible)

i got a cooler goin on which is all sorted

and a safc2 which i will prolly leave in the glove box for the time being. ill probably get it tuned at chiptorque...

if anything else can be done to make more with stnd turbo and safc (like fuel pump. or reg or something) please tell

also, anyone got any experience installing a new stereo themselves using stnd speakers?

thanks for your time

As to the Exhaust, Rob Bliss did my dump pipe and I bought a aftermarket exhaust from japan that was 3" stainless and pretty much a straight system including 3" cat. Some really good prices landed are on offer if you are prepared to look and wait.

i got my dump pipe through batmbl here on the forums

was excellent

chased up a secondhand gtr cooler cheap, which meant i could spend a bit more on converting the plennum to forward facing (less piping, less hassles)

got a good quiet blitz exhaust for less than 500 bux from option1 (they had plenty to choose from)

Where you going to drive it mostly? Going to do any track or mountain work?

Sounds like you have the basics covered.. and should give you around 170-200rwkw with stock turbo. After that I would look at spending money on suspension, sway bars and other handling items before going too much faster as you'll be losing it to the ground. Sort them out and you can beat many other cars which much more power :)

I Installed my own sterio I was thinking about using the stock speakers. However mine were buggered. The cones are paper and are either dead or about to be dead. I hooked my head unit up to the stock speakers and it sounded awful. Went to JB and got two sets of Pioneer 6' two ways for $98. Now it sounds 100% better with out costing too much. Ditch the stock speakers and look for some bargins on good brand speakers :uh-huh:

Got in touch with vic member INASNT he can supply whiteline for cheaper than thier website.

Got to consider sizes now, thier upgrade is 24mm front & 20 rear but they also have 27F & 22R, he can supply the 27f but only 20r.

Is it worth putting that combo on or would it affect the dynamics as it is the rear I want to tame?

:confused:

Diam

Refers to the diameter in millimeters of the Whiteline/Selbys Swaybar catalogued bar. Generally these are "touring sizes" with replacements being around 1-5mmlarger than the original. Note that "extra heavy duty" oversize diameters are also available for many applications. Some Whiteline/Selbys Swaybars are of the same diameter as original, but only when replacing an OEMhollow or tubular design with a solid Whiteline/Selbys Swaybar.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
