Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Fk financial advice most people would say I am a terrible person to discuss financial advise with but the way I see it I am a problem solver, something goes wrong I find a way to fix it, same with money. When shit hit the fan with my douche of an ex I had near on 65k of debt for shit we had that he kept (inc. 2 cars and a dirtbike plus c/card crap) 4 years later its down to 15 plus I have paid off an additional 15k cash in education expenses over the last two years on top of my hecs - Then people wonder why I work all the time and have no money. Debt sucks and the only debt I look forward to is a house, I learnt the hard way! But knowing I can pay all my shit plus save for a wedding, pay rent, groceries for two and all the house bills whilst the other half hordes money for a mortgage is well worth the amount I work! How do I do it? I am insanely organised to the point that I often freak myself out that I have forgot something but it is just that I am that organised...

However if I don't give a shit I am not organised at all...

Disciplined :)

Haha not the right word for me, I problem solve - Really want those shoes really can't afford them, wing it so I work more that week to get them...

That's even more disciplined. In management terms they call that Locke's goal setting theory. Essentially you set waypoints to getting things you want to achieve. They have another acronym too called SMART

Specific - there is a precise and clear statement of intended outcome.

Measurable - there are clear indicators (quantitative or qualitative) of whether goal has been achieved.

Achievable - The goal is achievable, within available resources and environmental constraints, and is compatible with other goals that have been set.

Relevant - the goal is aligned with broader goals, values and priorities, which provide a rationale for the goal.

Time-bound - The goal includes a statement of precisely when it is to be achieved.

Winning Mel :)

Mel, if you've managed to affectively clear 65K (50 in debt 15 in education) in 2 years, I wouldnt say that you're bad with money... I'd say you've got it quite well managed at the moment.

Oh an Tim... Do you happen to have a spare R33 GTST S2 bonnet you'd part with?

I didn't get one with 2nd car - had to negotiate that out, as I had Titans. I can get you one pretty cheaply though, or a GTR one if you'd like they are significantly lighter. PM me for details.

No all pretty good

Just a little bit of carbon build up, looks like it was maintained well

Ok so question

If Kathryn gets this na 33

Should I take the cams and injectors from the rb25 I just picked up and put them in hers or are the cams the same

I Know the inj's are a good upgrade

I'm not sure about their compatibility, as I normally upgrade with aftermarket stuff. I am guessing, but there may be a difference in the engines compression ratio (piston tops)and there would most likely be stronger valve springs in the turbo motor, also the valve seats might be different. inj shouldn't be a problem. According to Wicki the bore and stroke is the same and the cams are the same duration and lift between the motors, accordingly no benefit from cam swap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine

Also, sounds like you sourced a really good RB30 engine. :)

I wouldn't swap cams.

NA and turbo engines run a different profile for a reason.

Injectors, will it need extra fuel? What're you going to do to tune it? What mods to require more fuel?

Tim PM incoming on 2 different topics

Ok guys so if all goes well on Saturday providing Ben can make it and I get his 31, my goal is to have it on the road for charity cruise the only bad thing that will hold me from having this happen is being broke as a bum

If you get the na, don't go sticking turbo bits in while na.

Turbo cams and na cams have different profiles because they benefit from the cams have more or less overlap depending on desired application.

If you get any mods for it keep them basic as they arent worth much when sold and will cost significantly more than just buying a turbo one to begin with

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
