Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

There's a really nice stealth black R32 in engine bay picks section with powerglide. Have been weighing up options and this approach for something for quick street/drag. Wet clutch, torque multiplication and transbrake for drag would make for a very interesting launch, if the theory meets the real world. Fingers crossed :)

there was a 500kw 32 in town that had a 2 speed in it, but i never got to go in it. had about a 5500rpm stall on it

then again getting hi powered rwd off the line cleanly is all in the launch control/suspension setup and how much rubber you can stick under it

lol look at the advice google gives you on that

So true. Set up will be drag orientated, but engineered. I get a pretty good supply of used Michelin race slicks from Porsche Cup car. They aren't totally gone, approximately 50%, but won't be using these on street - they are atrocious cold and HWP don't tend to see the positive traction side lol

What do you mean? Hwp love seeing racing slicks on imports on the street. They love that sort of behaviour. :P

On that note, morning all!

Cost/gain analysis - $50 each and no drag bags slapping into arches/guards and better grip than semis

They will have worse grip than streets let down to 20psi. Been there done that, it doesn't work.

On 18" qualifying tyres? This hasn't been my experience.

Yep. They have no side wall and no bag and most of them have seen too many heat cycles too. Good for circuit terribly shite for drag racing. A good set of drag radials picked up .5 of a second in the 60ft. 2 seconds down to 1.5.

The lesson I learned from all this is to use a tyre for what it is built for. If you aren't you are pushing shit up hill.

What a lovely day, and tomorrow is Friday :D

Tis a nice day. I am outside for half of it too. I do have to audit a fish processing plant though. .. bit worried about that, walking past the fish section at coles makes me gag

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
