Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I have learnt from past mistakes I very rarely creep over the speed limit and haven't done one skid since I've had my license back

I'm just saying cos zac, I and a few others don't want to see you in hospital, lost license or your car getting crushed or totaled.

So just looking at what your talking about and it does sound like a bad idea. Also getting prepared for a turbo when your off your ps might not even happen, you might get bored, or things might happen, do what you have to do to it on your ps, you have 2 years on your ps still, that's a long time and you never know, things happen. Having a skyline comes with great responsibility, a sense of honor and you have to keep a good reputation for skylines and the club your a part of. So don't do anything stupid with your car, or make it so that police will ream you. You have to think about what your doing and not just think power, you have to think about everything and everyone else you might effect.

Hello all :)

well said Kath.....but responsibility becomes more natural as you get older and things fall into place without too much adverse effects

Thank you :) I didn't want to say that but that was my general meaning :P

Can't wait to get pulled over by cops and them not being able to ping me on anything :) haha

lol. I feel like the pink panther driving my green one - always looking over my shoulder for the blue lights and a quick exit stage left :)

Depends on what you want it for. It's all relative and depends on what you consider big numbers. Anything involving a built motor you better be ready to dump 10-20k in it. Looking at any of the engine builds on this forum you can see how they can spiral out of control. Not to mention anything that goes wrong and the time it takes to actually get it all sorted.

In saying that you could buy everything second hand slap it together and put an ebay spec turbo kit on it and crack 300kw pretty easily.

I would be looking for 400+ if that's at all possible with a dirty 30

I understand but we are still young and I admit I am stupid sometimes, like most young people do get and we make mistakes. I plan to learn quick and give skylines a better name :)

see this post.

high 300's with a gt35 and with the right manifold/exhaust can make full boost at 3500.

would i suggest that as a daily? not so much, too laggy? not really, but it is too much power for general street duties when you need wide semis just to avoid spinning 3rd when it comes on boost.

Honestly if this 31 works out, I will baby it so much and losing my license again is a bad choice I've already seen how much it f**ks with career paths, I wasn't able to get a job where I wanted til I got it back and by the time i did have it back I was already working at a dead end job until I got offered a trial at this workshop, and the accident also woke me up to pay more attention to driving I don't wanna put myself in that position where the club has to ask me to leave I know I have to behave to be part of this club and there are plenty of opportunities to be able to be more adventurous in the car I spose if you wanna say it like that. like event days where we are on a track

Nah Kath. It's far more fun to learn from mistakes lol

However, best suggestion... become good friends with an engineer will save you a lot of time :)

Thank me later. You can make that with rb25t and GTx35R - I notice there is a long motor for sale at Lewis for $1000.

I found a rb30 and gearbox for 600 close to me, just waiting to hear back from Ben

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
