Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I have learnt from past mistakes I very rarely creep over the speed limit and haven't done one skid since I've had my license back

I'm just saying cos zac, I and a few others don't want to see you in hospital, lost license or your car getting crushed or totaled.

So just looking at what your talking about and it does sound like a bad idea. Also getting prepared for a turbo when your off your ps might not even happen, you might get bored, or things might happen, do what you have to do to it on your ps, you have 2 years on your ps still, that's a long time and you never know, things happen. Having a skyline comes with great responsibility, a sense of honor and you have to keep a good reputation for skylines and the club your a part of. So don't do anything stupid with your car, or make it so that police will ream you. You have to think about what your doing and not just think power, you have to think about everything and everyone else you might effect.

Hello all :)

well said Kath.....but responsibility becomes more natural as you get older and things fall into place without too much adverse effects

Thank you :) I didn't want to say that but that was my general meaning :P

Can't wait to get pulled over by cops and them not being able to ping me on anything :) haha

lol. I feel like the pink panther driving my green one - always looking over my shoulder for the blue lights and a quick exit stage left :)

Depends on what you want it for. It's all relative and depends on what you consider big numbers. Anything involving a built motor you better be ready to dump 10-20k in it. Looking at any of the engine builds on this forum you can see how they can spiral out of control. Not to mention anything that goes wrong and the time it takes to actually get it all sorted.

In saying that you could buy everything second hand slap it together and put an ebay spec turbo kit on it and crack 300kw pretty easily.

I would be looking for 400+ if that's at all possible with a dirty 30

I understand but we are still young and I admit I am stupid sometimes, like most young people do get and we make mistakes. I plan to learn quick and give skylines a better name :)

see this post.

high 300's with a gt35 and with the right manifold/exhaust can make full boost at 3500.

would i suggest that as a daily? not so much, too laggy? not really, but it is too much power for general street duties when you need wide semis just to avoid spinning 3rd when it comes on boost.

Honestly if this 31 works out, I will baby it so much and losing my license again is a bad choice I've already seen how much it f**ks with career paths, I wasn't able to get a job where I wanted til I got it back and by the time i did have it back I was already working at a dead end job until I got offered a trial at this workshop, and the accident also woke me up to pay more attention to driving I don't wanna put myself in that position where the club has to ask me to leave I know I have to behave to be part of this club and there are plenty of opportunities to be able to be more adventurous in the car I spose if you wanna say it like that. like event days where we are on a track

Nah Kath. It's far more fun to learn from mistakes lol

However, best suggestion... become good friends with an engineer will save you a lot of time :)

Thank me later. You can make that with rb25t and GTx35R - I notice there is a long motor for sale at Lewis for $1000.

I found a rb30 and gearbox for 600 close to me, just waiting to hear back from Ben

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
