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.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
