Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

i hear ya Scottie re spending money in workshops and not being able to drive it.

Reliability is one of the key pillars for me.

Power comes third after handling as well

You're too smart ants. I always chase the power first lol. Ah well. Mine only really goes fast in straight lines anyways.

If i was more into mountain runs etc I'd not have made the modifications I have.

Mountain runs are more fun. :-P

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

Put a big single on it make bulk power and scare the sheet out of people when it comes on, like tony said Martin only makes 320ish woopy do, how are you supposed to have a circle jerk over those kind of figures.

There is parts of me that really want to get involved in it. However the exact events that happened to Zac are really what keeps me away. I think Ideally aswell, my car in its current state has to much power and isnt responsive enough to have good mountain runs

He also beat you at the drags - with those figures.

Your car is probably beyond the point of mountains now. Doesn't turn fast enough and probably isn't responsive enough. You really need a light chassis with power that's readily available. It's the proven formula. Learning how to use a steering wheel will prevent falls.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

More to the point, I had a poorly tuned stock ls1... Like I said woopy do, if you don't have cubes but have the technology why put a potato in your exhaust?

Get a big evil turbo and turn the numbers everyone likes to see lol

    • 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.
