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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
