Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Been watching the invisible man, going to start on season 2 tomorrow.

that being said in the kind if person who could just sit looking out the window for the whole trip.

fair nuff

An incapable one would suffice! Stellar effort by Mazda design, not even 105,000kms and the turbo bearings have exploded, the movement means the turbine can touch every part of the housing with ease front and back.

I'm amazed there were no signs of gradual wear, drove home Thursday night, went to drive to work Friday....grind...boom....under-bonnet oil fountain in driveway

I *can* see it, but I need a hoard of magical small folk to get in there and remove bolts :( The skyline was a million times easier!

Looks like Mazda are trying to replicate the Z32s. Engine out for everything!

I don't always remove my turbo, but when I do it's a f@$king nightmare!

Cause not awesome natro motor lol

"I don't always remove my tubo, but when I do, oh wait I don't have a turbo"

Engine out....not on my watch! Though the 14mm turbo bolts are proving to be stubborn, skinned my knuckles on the left hand so far. May have to borrow a rattle gun or a 3m breaker bar to get them out!!!

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
