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

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

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
