Hello all,

 

My name is Ethan and I am from Columbus, Ohio, USA. I have a 1991 BNR32 that I purchased 2 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it.  Car has 100k km/ 60k mi , is the KH2 Gunmetal Grey, and has some mild mods- Blitz Pods, Blitz BOV, 5Zigen catback, tein coilovers, some fancy strut tower bars, turbo timer, track timer, projector headlamps, n1 grill and aluminum hood, and BNR34 wheels.

I am hoping to upgrade the turbos, install an EBC, get a bigger fuel pump and injectors, and turbo back piping. I am very new to this platform, so I am here for advice and information. 

A little about me, I am a husband and father of two. For work I am an IT consultant, hobbies include guns, video games, and car things. I also own a 1978 Datsun 280z with a L28ET and  a 1991 Mazda Miata with a Ford 302 EFI. I suck at intros, if you have questions, don't be shy.

Nice car, but holy shit show me the MX-5 with the 302! :O

 

Also, welcome!

I’ll dig some pictures up. It’s a slow moving project. 

Electronic Fuel injected 302, flat top pistons, GT Cam, GT40p heads, Trick Flow upper and lower intake manifolds, BIG billet throttle body, mustang GT ecu, MSD bits, Mustang GT T5, 8.8 IRS LSD rear end out of an SVT Cobra Terminator. 15x9 and 15x10 diamond racing wheels, low pro pop up projector headlights. Better suspension, brakes, and roll bar to come.

Welcome! Firstly I suggest retrofitting your headlights with LHD HID projectors. The stock ones are shit house and added bonus is of course LHD cut off.

 

Also, pictures of the Z and MX5

I’ll have to look into the LHD HIDs, the headlights hadn’t crossed my mind yet. Have a link? Honestly, I’d love some flash modern looking ones, but it seems like they all require an imagination and taking apart factory ones. I would prefer just bolting in. It also surprises me that no one makes a single unit, as opposed to the headlight/ turn signal two peice. A lot of the cars sold here in the States in the 80s and 90s have aftermarket one peice options available.

Not enough numbers for aftermarket to make headlights for the R32.

Buy these (you can sub out the bulb for cheaper Osram/Philips if you like a more halogen-like colour):

Have a read through this as a guide (it's pretty easy, bake, disassemble, remove halogen projector, install HID projector with bracket, aim, assemble and bake)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
