Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I already have an exemption... For a turbo.

And hopefully I'll be buying the NA Saturday. If not turbo it is.

I rather get an NA now cos then if the cars in good nic keep it till I can swap the engine and it'll be sweet

If that's the case, then why not get an R32 and upgrade to a RB25 when you're ready? Lighter, prettier (in my opinion) and a 2L NA won't chew through fuel like a 2.5L NA would.

If you are set on getting a R33 NA, then make sure that it is 100% straight and manual. That way, you can flog the box (lol!) and it will take a beating. Will also teach you how the car moves and then you can put the head on a 30 and boost it - which is not as easy as it sounds but anyway.

It's auto, been re painted. Engine looks in good nic, r32s look weird to me. I can't drive manual skylines. I can't change gears properly and I don't want to learn.

thats not the attitude to have. I will teach u Kath in da GTR!

I can drive manual. It's just that from first to second sucks. Plus city driving is much better in an auto

This is true but you get used to it. If it's a factory or forgiving clutch, then you'll be right. No fun to be had in autos really.

Autos are designed to be more efficient and economical. I know that in mine, if I'm in D, the car isn't willing to stay about 2.5k rpm even when I'm hammering it. Eg: going around a corner pretty hard, you lift and the revs drop right down as it will automatically select the most economical gear. Whereas in tip, the TCU switches to sports mode and allows a lot more free revving. Don't know if the older manuals had this option. Also, if it isn't tip, how are you going to chose the right gear? If you're in traffic and want to give it a bootful around someone at 60kmph, the box will have you in 4th and you won't have the torque there. Just saying, that if you plan on building the car in the future, get as many things right now as possible as parts cost cash. You could be paying up to $1k for a decent RB25 manual box whereas buying a manual now may only cost an additional $300-$500. f**k with it, learn to drive it, destroy the clutch and replace it. You'll still be better off financially.

Don't get me wrong. Autos are great but if you want performance, it should be a manual or a very smart auto box.

    • 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 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
