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.

That sounds nice and easy >_<

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 >_<

mike here is the website all about mx5's and their conversions. I know the member Low miata he can tell you everything you need to know about the early model mx5s >_<

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)

oh thanks troy >_<

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 )

bullet cars >_<

they have already done a 20btt i have heard. i've been looking at some of their work, very nice. landcruiser v8 supercharged, and a gen3 v8 in another!

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 thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
