Well seeing as I am now in the actual part of building the car... after the basic stuff... I thought I would put her in this build up.

It is a 1995 MNP R33 GTR Vspec.

I originally bought the car at 67,000kms..

I started out with a fairly basic starting point for a GTR.

I first started with the fuel reg and put a new boost controller in, then a clutch and new set of rims..

I had to replace the AVS Model 5s due to the previous owner destroying them.

At the end of 2010 I put the car up for sale with sales falling through I decided to keep the car and mod it further....

I added a power fc and tune to start... I made 305Awhp

Shortly after that the want for more power kicked in.

I then went and saw my first mechanics and got the following installed.

2860r-5 turbos

Tomei dumps

Nismo Fuel Pump

Nismo 600cc Injectors

HKS Hard piping

Cooling pro 600x300x100 intercooler

100cell 3" cat

As I wasn't happy with the tune, I went and saw my good friends at EFI

With just a retune on the same psi it pull 437rwhp

After seeing the results I was very happy, however was shocked when Sean asked if I wanted to up the boost.. My response was sure if you think its safe go nuts.

The car drove excellent, and was still getting good economy as at this point the car was my daily...

Shortly after the power being upped my clutch was not up to the job so that had to be replaced.

So I ordered a NPC Big Mouth Track after consulting with a couple mates.

Sadly a week after getting the clutch died, power surged the power fc and killed it due to a AFM arching out onto the power fluid reservoir.

So a new brain was needed.

After going over all the facts and figures I decided to go with a Wolf V500.

Since I wanted a little more mid-range Sean tuned it to the following.

I have also replaced the rims again with Enkei Rpf1s. 18x10.5+15

mate do you have any more info on why the 2 tunes were so extremely different?

i have heard really good things about both mercury and EFI.

how did the mercury tune drive compared to the EFI?

cheers adam

dans a legend, this looks awesome.

He has helped me out alot in the past.

Can't wait to see how they do the cam timing

Yeah, Naturally I do not know a whole much about it, not VERY mechanical minded but I do know its Different to the V-Cam set up.

I do, Im not really going to go into it.

Mercury have done their dash with me, I wont be going back HOWEVER. I have known cars to get good results.

Sean from EFI is my ONLY tuner from now on tho for obvious reasons.

Stop spamming my thread looking for lols hahaha Im not going to give it to you.... Do you want them to continue talking about you when on their Lunch breaks?

Haha you saw straight through him thumbsup.gif Have always been a fan of MNP 33's looking forward to the end result.

I am fan number one #1 I will continue to support the number one tuner/mechanical in SEQ IMO.

come off it you troll you used to work there ha!!!!

LS conversion?

Sounds good

Do I have to tell you to stop trolling as well? LOL... mind you a LS AWD GTR would be AWESOME! Balls and grip pitty the bonnets won't clear much like the 32s with a ls1 will clear the cross member.

So far the plans are to stay as are however Dan's hunch may be to forced to go stroker due to the oil issues.

PPS - are you going to do some track days with the new engine? Might wanna do brakes too - Ksport 356mm 8pot brake kit is under $2k from UK with EBC Blue pads and they work a bloody treat!!! You know you wanna do it :)

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
