Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

The whole "big single is easier to work on" argument is really starting to win me over.

Well in that case I'd argue no turbo would be easier to work on than 1 in a strictly "how hard is the extraction setup to work on" where it is having a direct effect as to which setup you choose?

A certain Maxima is very fun to drive because it handles like a hooker on blow.

It's handles fine, it's that pig of a gearbox behind it.

If I didn't know better I'd think you'd shat first and second gear and had it locked in 3rd, with about a 6800 stall.... Strangest driving experience ever

But then i'd have no turbo boosters.

I really want to build a 2.8 and throw on some -5s. Would be an amazing drive!

not wrong their Bunts.

The boyz that I know who runs this setup produces amazing response and power.

However, I would not be putting on -5s but rather insert GTX2863's CHRA's and machine the comp housing to fit standard piping.

A ex Brisbane boy (now lives in Sydney) had this setup on his white R34 GTR made 478kwatw using 1000cc injectors on a 2.8 ltr engine

Here is the power curve

Yeah I often think the same. But the purist in me wants my GTR to have twins. With the stock air box back in place I am going for kind of a stock look, twins helps here too

Yeah saw that, very impressive result! I would just give my turbos to MTQ to frankenstien them again like they did to my current ones. Worked well so I figure it should work regardless of the turbos!

Just spent 20 minutes scrubbing unburnt fuel off of my rear bumper. Good times...

Next time i'll do it the same day, though it could have been worse, i could have left it for 2 weeks.

Cling wrap the rear bar. Then change the cling wrap as necessary. :P

I can't wait till E85 that's for sure
Likewise.

Got any front mount recommendations?

Also, what brand was the oil filter relocation kit you mentioned, JJR?

think it's actually cooling-pro brand (but was oil cooler + oil filter relocation kit)

Not sure on FMIC as I'm running cheapo cooling pro 100mm tube and fin cost like $400 but does job for now

I has returned from whoop whoop. Was another great zedfest :)

Both Cara and I got trophies! I got 2nd in the 600m sprints, Cara got runner up In Car Entertainment at the show and shine :) So the late nights and fighting while installing the setup/retrimming interrior was eventually worth it haha

Strangest zed there, came down from Rocky. 98% z32

Zedfest only happens every 2nd easter, so it is a 'must attend' for us :)

I am one of the old boys now, of all those who attended, only myself and another guy from brisbane have attended 5 zedfests in a row :) There has only been 6.

well that was akward........

went to Supacheap auto and got some fine clay bar door and door trim clips only to see an eldery couple going off their tree at the chick behind the counter about wanting their money back because of a battery that did not work.

Chick behind the counter was an absolute biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiattch to say the very least as she stood her ground. Felt kinda sorry for the elderly couple.

Having said that, the old man said something like this 'youve gota be kidding me..............don't be so juvenile' farkin gold

In the end the manager came back from lunch and sorted them out with a new car battery and problem solved.

Me and a few customers were kinda laughing at the situation but I've never experienced that kind of tension in a Supercheap auto store before.

I just wanted my clay bar and door trim clips

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
