in trems of quicker or price?

the mazda just needs intake and exhaust opened up and you have a very well handling, very fast, legal car, ready to go.

(albeit ugly as a hat full of assholes)

the gtst needs another few g's on handling and a few more on power. Until then it's just a bag of dicks that will get defected anyway

If I was a crazy bastard, I'd get hold of a Eunos 30X and put the BPD-T from a GTR into it. 154kw in an 1100kg car and that's before you get to tuning it. Apparently a fairly easy and common swap around the world.

In every way yes, but I'm a bit tall for an MX5 and they've been turbocharged heaps before. I'm sure you could get one of those Eunos for 1500-2000. Be a 5k weekend and beer project.

god knows how they manage it

Wait wut?

You live with your gf now? That was quick!

Where does she live? And when do we get to see her?

Technically living with? I guess... I'm there like 6 nights a week and go straight home there from work...

Royal Parade, Parkville, right opposite Princes Park... and literally walking distance to Garage Cafe ;)

When do you get to meet her... hmmmm, never? She's not into cars much at all, I might see if she wants to pop down to GC for dinner. She has lunch there sometimes since she works at Melbourne Uni, in the building that is directly opposite GC.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
