Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

The only person who knows what is going on is Sean. At the end of the day, he is a great tuner and hence why we have him on as a sponsor. He has a great deal of knowledge with these motors and also has a number of supporters. A lot of the people that use him speak greatly of what he does. However, not everyone uses him and anyone that has either built a car or required a major re-tune will tell you that these things take a lot of time.

I can appreciate that it is difficult from your end as you just want your car back. Although it's been 3 weeks since you delivered it to Sean, there has been a few things that have come up in that time.

1) the fuel pump

2) he fell ill for a week

3) Jambo - a massive marketing opportunity for him that probably results in a lot of revenue for his business

4) the ECU

The added difficulty is when you have people who haven't built a car before asking why it hasn't been done yet. You've got a brand new engine which is worth some decent coin along with some very nice go-fast bits, you don't want this rushed and botched.

My 2c, speak to Sean and try and maintain a positive frame of mind. :) I know that it isn't easy, but that's what you need to do.

Bunta and Colin had theirs tuned there and they were both quite nice and white and 32s and GT-Rs.... Creepy :P

Tony, hiscar has been there 6 weeks, not 3

My bad! Misread that as September. Either way, the best thing to do would be to discuss it with Sean in person. At this stage, other people asking questions could simply aggravate the situation.

Definitely my bad though!

Indeed :verymad:

exactly. It really makes u think how twice how they do business.........No such thing as good business ethics within this industry

There is you just have to get a mechanic that won't lie to you

Like... GST or total revenue, or Director's salary right? ;)

no. only if the transaction(s) in question is = or > 5% of the benchmark and also if the item is material by nature.........

majority of publicly and non-publicly listed corporations don't like it either.

Lucky for them I'm not an auditor........

LOL! Damn accountants following legislation. My accountant is also like that.

So martins car is back from the auto elecies.

Hopefully Tomorrow Jamie will give him a call and discuss what is being done and give him a quote, if we don't have a flat out day still have cars left over from Monday :/ why do hilux's have to be so crap

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
