Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Yup.

I don't like domestic flights let alone the thought of international, the thought of flying overseas makes me nauseous then a few unfortunate events relating to flying overseas just add to that, needless to say, could not fly Malaysian Airlines even if it is just unlucky at what has happened... But I am sure you will have an awesome trip...

We are contemplating USA end of next year, early 2016... Even then I am tempted to stop in Hawaii for a day or two so that it makes the flight a little bit shorter...

Also... Who can suggest some places I can get a custom colour rattle can made up so I can paint some shiz?

Yeah It pretty much cant be bad, no work for 4 months, hard to go wrong really.

Thats probably better, I wouldnt mind doing shorter trips to different places, but Anna is doing courses while we are over there so it sort of has to go that long. I would like to do like 6 weeks there, 6 weeks in europe, 6weeks in South Africa, ect ect. but yeah at the end of the day I have 6 months of leave built up and I can afford to take it half pay so there is plenty of scope for those other things down the track!

Sounds like a plan! I want to do Europe but doing to start with USA/Canada and then another time go and do Europe (mainly Finland and Germany because relatives over there). I want to go to Japan but not sure about anywhere else in Asia or africa etc.

That's what Bodo said, I have no idea if they will be able to get it close to my Metallic pink/purple pearl since it's two colours on my car to make it what it is but if they can get it even remotely close I will be happy...

Martin let me know of a place in Geebung that may be able to do it and I've heard there is somewhere in Strathpine but not sure where. Gives me a few options at least, hopefully one can get close...

Paint matching in a can will never be 100%

Doesn't need to be, just needs to be close so I can cover the white and grey primer until I am ready for a full spray :)

main thing is they need to be able to scan a sample. not just find a paint code

Yeah, I can take my fuel cap off for them to scan otherwise I have a tin at home which is a fairly close match and was used previously on a door handle when my car was broken into.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
