Photo's would be good, The reason i ask is after 5 years i've filled the whole in my garage. I was able to find a MK2 2door with SR20DET.  The intake is under the front guard and wonder how much water on the road it would take before it becomes to much. Certainly not planning on going out in the rain but you never how the day will turn out.
Thanks again

Thanks for photos scholar. That looks like good location. Currently trying to get car rego as i bought a finshed (but without engineer permit) project. Will discuss moving the air cleaner when it makes the mechanics as i'm new to the SR20 and turbos so it bit of learning curve at the moment.

No worries,

It's a nice clean mk 2 with a few goodies you scored there, good luck with engineering process.

Cheers

Hi,
Great thread.
I've got a 93 MX5 with an SR20DET and 5 speed gbox conversion.  The gbox has an electric sender and the MX5 speedo is mechanical. 
I notice that you put in a mechanical sender and a custom speedo cable to get the speedo working.  Couple of questions;
-where is the electric sender located (I think it's on the drivers side)?
-how is it removed (spanner/socket)?
-does gbox oil flood out when removed?
-what mech sender did you use?  Is there a choice from difft Nissans to get the speedo almost correct?  The diff is 4.3 (I believe) and am running 205/45/16 tyres (standard diameter).
-you got a custom cable.  Could you get the orignal cable and have the gearbox end modified to fit the new mech sender?
Thanks heaps,
Bruce

Hi,

I notice that you put in a mechanical sender and a custom speedo cable to get the speedo working.  Couple of questions;
-where is the electric sender located (I think it's on the drivers side)? it is located on the right hand side of the gearbox extension housing.
-how is it removed (spanner/socket)? There is a 6mm(10mm head) bolt holding it in place.
-does gbox oil flood out when removed? Yes it does, but if you have a replacement unit ready you can minimise the oil loss and will only need a top up.
-what mech sender did you use? Another Nissan one that is same dimension and has exact same gear as the electric one. There is a pic of the speedo drive on page 5 of this thread.  Is there a choice from difft Nissans to get the speedo almost correct? Not sure on this one, I was more concerned about getting a speedo drive with same dimensions and gear to retain correct mesh etc. my speedo is slightly out but accurate enough for ADR compliance, so haven't bothered with it any further.  The diff is 4.3 (I believe) and am running 205/45/16 tyres (standard diameter).I suggest you just get it working first and then if inaccurate either have the speedo calibrated or use a over/under drive unit on the gearbox to get spot on.
-you got a custom cable.  Could you get the orignal cable and have the gearbox end modified to fit the new mech sender? Yes , but it isn't much different then having one made from scratch and you can have any length you like/need.
Thanks heaps,

What wiring harness did you use,as i'm going to do this early next year.

Just read the whole thread. Awesome car mate. Have seen it around a few times (I live at Pt Noarlunga) and thought it had something special under the bonnet.

Awesome car mate well done. I'm doing the same conversion to my 2 door mk2 GL at least you had a nose cone to hide the intercooler.
