Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

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

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

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
