Thats a point i should point out that yes I am running 16deg but its not a 'factory' engine. It was tuned set up like it is and i have re-mapped ecu, different cams and a ported / polished head. I also only run BP 98 as that was the car was tuned for.

altezza's are also the same but the funny thing is the US spec ones have the handbrake on the right lol

I've spent all day today at the track and found the easiest way to get it loose was just weight transfer and a big clutch kick

I've found with timing advanced to 14deg + and a decent filter exhaust setup i've got enough power to drift ok. In the wet its alot easier obviously just in the dry you need more speed.

not the fastest no...coolest yes! haha. Im with you mate. I've got a dedicated drift car in an R32 Skyline and the MX5 is my daily driver. However the 5 is WAY more fun to drive and since drifting on private roads with my 5 my skill level has shot up when it comes back to the skyline. The only thin...

I have my timing set to 16 at the moment, only runs on 98 and it goes nuts. My mate has a non-turbo S15 Silvia (165hp) and I can beat him all day long

I think I might have all these in amongst my spare parts. Will have a look tomorrow but wont be asking too much for them.

Yes i have I put it in this morning. I think it may have made a difference, getting better fuel economy but i've only really driven open road since so im still not 100% if it has helped. Will let you know by end of tomorrow and as i said if it works your fridge will look alot better

Yea i have them in the rear. When i put them in the car they actually increased ride height, however when they settled i dropped around 25mm.

They are nice and stiff and I would certainly recommend them.

Yea i got it, Cheers man.

Just so you all know this engine is still going strong, it gets driven harder than your average 5, up on the hills at least 3 times a week

how much you want for it man?

quite possibly. Everything has been done correctly and apart from running a bottom end bearing (which was completely my own fault I might add) its in perfect condition.

Hey man thanks but I got one. I do need a TPS though, square type.

Hey guys, After doing my engine swap this weekend I have noticed a few bits and pieces that make my car a bit special. Just seems like previous owners have been enthusiasts. Car Jam Link: http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=DKP231 The reason I ask is that I found it has a lightweight flywheel, exedy ...

So the engine is now in the car. Started first time, it sounds alot different from the original engine however I presume this is something to do with the cams. Did another compression test and got 160psi on 1 & 4 and 155 on 2 & 3. Its way more responsive and from a quick drive up the street and back...

Hey guys, Just thought you may like to know I've just purchased the engine in question, I can confirm after taking it apart that it is in fact in good condition. Compression test shows 153psi on all 4 cylinders. Had to swap the sumps over between my NA motor and this new one as it's obviously been t...

Lol funny you should say about the old nissan sedan as I've got a 32 GTSt in the garage which is awaiting its new motor & box combo. The 5 will be a daily driver but also street legal toy. I want to be able to do practice days at the track for whenever the Skyline is off the road (like now for examp...

Hello all, Im looking at picking up an NA6 in the next couple of weeks and I have a few questions when it comes to diff's. Do all NA6's come with LSD as standard of did some come with open diffs? How much should I expect to pay for a decent condition LSD? Reason I ask is that I will be doing a few d...
