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)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
