Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

We have been pretty happy with the outlander thus far. No off roading yet tho.

Awaits 400 photos of the bogged outlander... Had an uncle try to take his on Fraser that was an interesting day lmao

Small "4wd's" are not for 4wding, most are incapable and just to Danm low

Unless you Usualy have lots of experiance with 4wding you can run into troubles

But I will say. Suzuki's they go hard off road

Anyways I have talked to ants about purchasing some parts and I have found a new direction for my car with the power side of things

This means forged bottom end :D

Interesting definition of 'real 4x4' you have :P

Low range, traction control, ladder frame chassis and same clearance as your navara. And at least it won't get stuck spinning diagonally opposite wheels in the air like yours will :P Edited by Bunta

Oh and stock it is on the low side, but nothing a cheap lift cant fix, and we are not into 'off road' where you go out and find places to get stuck and break shit, we just want a car that can do the fire trails ect.

I like where this is going :)

Morning folks.... Well events yesterday afternoon/night werent what I expected. Got a call from a mate at midday asking if I want to accompany him down to Matty @ Pits to get his car on the dyno just to check the replacement cam he got in is fine. I thought hell why not I finish work at 1:30pm it will be a good drive.

Got there at 3pm and and we got the car onto the dyno..

Matty played around with it for a while and fixed up a few things here and there. It came to about 6pm and was doing a few final power runs...

Knock Knock.......... who's there? Spun a bearing in the last 10 mins on dyno...

After many profanities were used Matty ended up dropping us at the train station and we got the train back to Sandgate then got a lift home....

Got home at about 10:30pm and then up again to start work at 5:30am...

Tired Scott is tired..

You went all the way down to see Matty Spry and didn't swing pass to say hi????

I also went to bed late paying for it now :/

Sorry to hear about your mates car Scottie.

What power did it make before she gave way?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
