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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
