instead of the rotary (I think they won't let you do that conversion anymore as they changed an ADR rule approx 6 months ago) and it costing approx $7500 to move the steering rack forward and other bits to accommodate the rotary motor how bout sr20?

It fits, is as light as the bp6 so won't upset ballance and you can fit a sr gearbox and diff under them with out too much hassle. There is a company in melbourne that produce the mounts for this (laser cut alloy mounts) for bo th the engine and the gearbox. Well just a thought.

The skyline will prob turn more heads then the MX5 will...

But then again, lighter is better. The MX5 with a rotary would be a ton of fun, but how hard would the conversion be and how hard would it be to get it complianced?

No one cares about skylines anymore, I think a MX5 with and angry rotary sound would get heaps more attention

Well from those who know somthing about cars anyway, the GTR will still pick up lots of 16 year old boys who think GTRs are invincible.

The conversion has been done before, I think thay had a few problems findin a gear box that fits but apart from that everything was sweet

I could beat skylines (well, GTST/25T's anyway) in my old beat up Astina.

Whats your point? I still like my new car better then I liked the astina.

If you want to stand out a bit more get a GTR.

i want something completely different. its hard to be unique with modifying, especially with nissan. because its all been done before. plus they weigh so much. and gtr is bit outta my price range.

skylines are nice, but just not my sorta car i think. too big for my liking. i wouldnt mind a 34, but too pricy again.

well thay were saying a 300hp sr powered on was an animal on the track, not that is not even pushing the sr motor very hard at all, imagine what would happen if you decided to say get a crate sr engine from someone like tomei or jun >_<

rx7 gearbox and diffs, easy fit just new mounts.

i've had an sr pushing close to that and its just not the same as a rotor :laugh: you get all that revability with the rotor and the different noise to it, plus its lighter still (only by a little bit)

just be careful with the conversion as they have like a reinforcement bar down the transmission tunnel (don't cut it in anyway as it is structual). It maybe a bit lighter but it ruins the handling of the mx5 (as it is a perfectly weighted car )

yes the bullet factory was an amazing place to go through I have the opportunity to be given a guided tour with the MX5 club and it is really well setup place but I can't afford something that expensive

I still cannot believe IanB is giving GTS-T's a hard time after his pwning last night!! I had to slow down to 60k's and wait a full 30 seconds for him to catch up on the twisty bits coming down from Nebo to Samford. Just face facts Ian, the GTS-T is just as good when it isn't raining!!!!! My car is heavier and has less power but the suspension work is where the gains come on the twisties!!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
