Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I'm leaning towards the 33. So all I need to do now is save $20,000 and part the SS out for go fast bits money.

honestly should you do it, just fix the rust in boot of SS and get rid of it in one go.

No point having a carcass lying doing nothing

Then save and buy what you want

Plus the issue of it having no compliance or build plate and the paint being in average nick. Also I think you underestimate the extent of the rust...

Highflo, injectors pump tune etc, is what, 5K?

GTR is 20K, boost T and its making probably 30-50kw less, but has AWD, (more weight) and suspension will be stock, not adjustable. and for 20K you're not getting a pristine one unfortunately. Parts don't break any more than a GTS-t will, but when they do more money potentially, and upgrades do aswell. Twice the turbos, twice the diffs, etc.

End of the day look at how much your saving and how quickly, and if you're prepared to get a loan to get one.

Or, do HA and instrumentation courses and come work out here for pornstar money.

I know, this is why I'm not sure what I want. Would be starting from scratch again.

Yeah, dunno about the lifestyle tho :P

I was in the same dilemma, though i wasn't as far along with my old car at that stage. In the end though I figured everything i was doing I would just have to do again, so i traded up.

Buy this one? link

I know, I haven't really spent that much on mine yet.

If I had the money right now :P Perhaps I should go do $6,000 worth of courses and join you in butt f**k nowhere.

Its an interesting life for sure. Also, unfortunately, the work is starting to wrap up on this project at least, so there's no guarantee even if you do do the courses i'm afraid, pretty much every industry is like that now though.

But yeah (for the tradies), 10 hour days, work 20 days straight, travel, 6 days off, travel, work 20 days straight, repeat. Stay in camps literally in the middle of nowhere, but at least the rooms are decent, food is buffet, gym on site and the like. But yeah it gets lonely, you do get days off during the week to make up for it but most people are working on those days, which is good for going on drives or getting stuff done but not for keeping in touch with folks really. Honestly don't know how people with kids do it, but the financial rewards must be a good part of it.

all I hear is excuses :P

GTR for those who like parking them in garaghes...or rebuilding 26's

stick with the GTST for track car imo......having said that, a 33 GTR would be gorgeous. the one that Pete linked is f**king swoit

good evening all, house keys on monday!!

getting a double garage floor paint kit thingy from Bunnings straight away and painting the floor up before loading everything in :)

new house keys needs a GTR for that new garage

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
