Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

washed the car last night at like 430 .. run out of time to polish and now i need to go down the GC...... im sensing an early early morning tomorrow for charity cruise

nice

Going to give my car a wash now. Just waiting for the battery to charge! New ecu on Thursday too!

although u will not need new ECU for tomorrow's charity cruise

Nor looking forward to cleaning the car today gonna pull half the car apart to fix up some trim that hasn't been sitting properly for a while now.

focus on just cleaning the car Zeke, you will have plenty of time to correct the trim that most peps won't care about..........then again I also anal bout bodywork so totally understand

This whole cleaning the car thing blows goats.

think of it as your exercise for the day Bunts then after crack a beer or two and enjoy your hard work (results)

At least your cars are able to run :-P

Anyone got a spare seat for a photographer I've got coming along? Work and the car gods have f**ked me over. I can get him to the meet (in my oh so classy Astra) but I have to bail early so he'll need a lift to the powerhouse mid afternoon.

less work more car fun perhaps? Or is that the other way around? :P

Hope you can find time to fix the 34 soon Boz

Time is the real killer. Although I may have more up my sleeve because of this. I was using my own car (with a generous per/km allowance and fuel reimbursement) to do a sales rep job. Guess I won't have that job any more :P Which is OK because I wanted to stop anyway. Two jobs, an internship, summer semester uni, a relationship and the club all left me with zero time. I'll have done over 100 hours between the jobs, internship and uni this week and that is killing me when it doesn't pay. Didn't mind it when i was a manager and doing 14-16 hour days every day because I got free food, free booze and a good pay packet.

Well I kinda do. Any throttle through the mid range causes knock. But I will either go very slow down the back or go straight from the first meet point to lakeside

if you are taking on so much right will hopefully mean you will have more time in the future..........smart work DOES pay off :)

is it worth the risk Bunts?

   is it worth the risk Bunts?

I have been driving it like this for 12 months. If I keep it in my pants its all good

car is almost ready just minor details to finish.

 

Did you get that exhaust fitted Bunts? so we can compare shiny 44gal drum exhausts :P

I have not fitted it. I might not either, seeing if I can swap it for somthing different!

Ya I am all hooked up with a Stuffed toy,

Done my dyno run, little disappointed so got sadd face atm :(

But the cruise tomorrow will prob bring my smile back.

Looking forward to see some HawT cars and great peeps.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
