Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

GTR's are the DEVIL!!!!!! glad i owned mine, i ticked a box from my bucket list. I would never own one again. too heavy, too much understeer, too much money. i can go quicker in a crappy old s13 then a gtr with a bucket load spent on it.

I have had exactly the opposite experience, I wont own anything else again, Instantly it was better than any other car I had owned, made every dollar I spent on the others like like a complete waste of time!

and you got the car for the right price too :)

speaking of GTR's. I do have the opportunity to buy a gun metal grey 32 gtr with a 33 gtr engine transplant, nistune, o2 wideband, semis, suspension etc for cheap cheap.

buy, sell for profit

doooo eeeeettttt!!!!

Got another zed last night. Few good bits on it. Got it cheap and plan to make 1 registered zed from 1.8non registered zeds sell the rest over time.

Not sure which bits I'll use from which cars yet. New one has 2871's (mine has 2560's), new one has low comp on at least 1 cyl (mine is good). Dunno if I could handle the lag of the 2871's but would make good power.

New one has a perfect interior with yellow (eeew) sections on the seats, so I'll swap my seats in and keep the rest. New one has a beautifully made custom exhaust system which I will prob use and sell my Trust system.

New one is primed for paint so the body is straight, but my widebody is aaaaaaages away still, so I am considering flares (for the massive rims) and a quick lick of paint until it is serious widebody time.

i look forward to it Anthony. I want to get a bunch of us together for a Philli Cheese Steak and some American beers one evening VERY VERY soon if anyone is keen. At West End.

As in us as in whores?

Have a look at what brakes the turbo Calais came out with, if the 31 has the same size or bigger brakes and is lighter and has the same motor you can argue that a brake upgrade is not needed

I think you'll find they're bigger. 31s are under braked even N/A, you're a d*ckhead if you slap a turbo on and keep the std brakes.

So if you sell it, does all if the money go towards your budget this giving you more spending cash?

technically, yes.

Technically NO.

You can sell bits off the car to get money back into the budget, but if you sell the whole car and start again you'll be starting with a clean slate of $2000.

this thing needs some work on the brakes and whilst the engine is fantastic, the purchase price of $1300 doesn't leave me a whole lot to spend on brakes and suspension upgrades. I DO NOT want brake fade at the track. Been there, done that, don't like it.

Mine cost me $1400 and so far I have sold just over $1000 worth off stuff from it, meaning it's effective cost was only $400 (sans wheels and diff, since I sold those :P). So if you can sell some stuff off yours you'll be laughing.

dont leave the body in primer too long, it absorbs moisture and the pannels underneath can still rust from it.

afternoon all......1 less tooth in the face. perfect timing for dental work

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
