Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Shocks, springs, sway bars and bump stops are good. Everything else i would be going adjustable arms (you can get adjustable arms with rubber bushes rather than spherical bearings). The sub frame alignment kit http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KCA349 why would he recommend that rather than just replacing the 20 year old bushes?

Also what about the diff mounts, rear lower control arm bushes, bushes in the rear hubs/uprights and more i can't think of now. There are a lot of parts he has left out.

was going to get diff mounts, bushes after mate. As the coilovers and sway bars are more of a priority for me FTM.

Mr Ants, I recommend not doing coilovers and swaybars at the same time.

Makes for a really harsh ride. If your coilovers have hard spring rates, leave stock swaybars in and see how it feels. Likewise, if you have stiff swaybars, chuck them in and maybe go for a softer coilover.

Have a gingerbeer coming out on Thurs arvie Scotty, hopefully can get a roady and rego before the weekend. If so, I might get to the dyno day ;)

oh! I will take that under advisement.

Side note my garage door farked itself last nite.......can't even manually lift the door as it's 100kg and my powerlifting days are well and truly over.

Have to fork out money to repair it now so suspension needs to wait + the Jannica's car and the Ant-eater is stuck for now

Interesting...

The new F1's make 130ish dB. Down from the mid 140's of the V8's but far from quiet. Is it just the turbrah that kills the noise?

I don't care what the numbers say, there is no comparison. I went a few years ago and you NEEDED ear plugs. I didn't take any thinking "bah, I've heard race cars before, I won't need them". I was f*cking wrong and luckily I was able to get some at the track.

They had one old V8 there (RB7) doing the ultimate speed comparison and even just that one running was borderline on wanting to block your ears, but with all 22 of the new ones running you don't even get close to needing them.

dB is a logarithmic scale so a change of 10-15 is significant. But it's not just the volume but the nature of the sound, the old ones sounded just glorious while the new ones sound... agricultural?

I would not be complaining too much about the noise reduction Marty......you have been lucky enough to witness several F1 events live, whilst others have never seen them or may never get the opportunity to see them fly past at full blast

Oh shit. You called him Marty... You in for it now!

    • Was that with the cas upside or correct way up?
    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
