Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

512hp on 18psi, rich reckons the gearbox will let go if we wind the boost up to where I want it. Still so so much more in this thing. Torque is very interesting.

that awesome Scottie congrats.

Yeah the torque on them gboxes are very destructive.

U gonna get an aftermarket box?

daves 33 just runs standard boxes, 550kw 3L. broken a few boxes (selectors and synchros) but never actually broken a gearset in them.

dont be soft.

Is it really 'don't be soft' or just good advice from his tuner Tits?

I know I would rather be informed that the Gbox is most likely to break if pushed further rather than let the tuna go nutz and break it on the dyno

the 25 gtst box is tough and because it doesnt have 4wd traction the shock loading (ala 6000 and side step the clutch GTR launch) just results in wheel spin rather than damage to the gears unless you are running some seriously sticky rubber.

Tits is correct. Most people say the r33 gtst box is easily good for 450rwkw.

The issue in them is synchros, which die on standard power. Just be nicer when shifting and itll help save the synchros.

Other wise do as i taught the boys at the nats to do. While stationary, select second, Dial in 7000rpm or just shy of, side step the clutch. Allow smoke to ensue...

More than welcome mate, The driving was fine.

lots of looks of surprise on motorists faces

sounds like a nightmare, It will scare small children...I love it

I too thought i was getting more looks than normal.. That bloke on the dirt bike seemed quite interested

I'm happy with how it is for now and will wait to recoup some $$ before I wind the boost up. Not sure which way I want to go with aftermarket box

the number of standard boxes you can get for the cost of building a box means you could break one a year and still be ahead after 7 years (including labour)

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
