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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
