Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

thats quite the collection Ants, very impressive!

thanks mate. but really thats nothing. I have my HP (Highland Park collection) which is amazing and I have bottles of scotch stashed in most cupboards in the house.

I will post a pic of the HP collections soon.

well its Macallan mate. She's like the Nike of single malts its very good stuff but I find the price hard to justify.

Its why in fact Macallan went down the path of introducing the fine oak range because production costs are lower using american oak barrels (bourbon) rather than sherry oak barrels, however even their 18yo was like $189 IIRC.

My thoughts are as follows:

Fine oak - cheaper than Sherry oak and is very fruity, makes your mouth water / dry and then releases beautiful flavors like vanilla, raisins and fudge

Sherry oak - very exy but my favorite but caramel galore. Could really go without that artificial coloring IMO but the tastes - at first its very spicy, but after you have drank a dram you get the following flavours, burnt cookie / creme caramel, spices like cardamin, orange peel and a hint of wooden smoke - truly amazing mate.

you can make your own recommendation but I think you know what to go for now.

Thanks mate. Definitely know now what to get now. Johnnie Red. :P

I haven't had scotch for ages, I am in my beer phase at the moment, I go on runs where i get the same thing over and over, though I am sure with winter closing in spirits might be back on the menu

same. I take my beer and jagermeister on hot days (put the jager in the freezer)

in winter I crack the whisky open ;)

I have a new favourite whiskey in the cheap range. .. and it's bourbon :0 never thought I would say that.

hmmmmmmmmmm...........yeah not a fan of bourbon eh..........but can be good mixed I guess.

I am not really into it either! But this one is nice, mixed of course! Its Blantons Bourbon, and it really shocked me.

may try one day. but first I have to finish what I already have.

Fair enough bro

If you wish to measure performane from happy laps knock yourself out! Your car is 1000 times faster at Happy Laps than mine, I think I am yet to use full throttle at one based on the fact in my view is neither the time or place.

once crank trigger and tune done and a bit of TLC to suspension the unicorn will be a weapon on track IMO

Woohoo I win :D

sweet, thanks! I plan on doing a flex set up at some point too,

Something i've thought a bit about, however in the end I realized that in 3 years I never took my car far enough that I wouldn't be in range of either caltex/united fuel at their current locations.

Assuming you could get around well enough off boost using one when tuned with the other, I could have theoretically done it all on E85, so in 6-12 months I think i'll just get E85 done on the nistune and not worry about the expensive of a flex setup.

If you have a decent ecu the only extra expense is a flex sensor and a few hours on a dyno

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
