Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Its Ok. I have survived multiple happy laps at lakeside! White GTR and all.

You have to be a special type of dumb to have an incident at happy laps. Sprint days are another matter however.

exactly mate.

You would be fine around lakeside ants. Just go at a pace you're comfortable with. I did a few lakeside happylaps and had no dramas and last time I checked I had a white 32 gtr

But have you checked it this morning ;)

Well I haven't heard it start all morning, am at home today as I fu*ked up my ankle playing touch footy last night. But am still going to hobble out to check on her

What ant's said, Externally it is all cosmetic, a few cracks in the bar and the alignment of the spaces between body parts is f**ked. Beaver tail has been pushed in and the boot has been impacted into slightly. Unsure of any impact on the mechanical side of it at this point.

After checking the clutch fan it really looks like its stuffed. I think the damaged was caused when the fan blades came into contact with the either the belt or a pulley under high RPM. (not my doing).

Looks like the cost to replace with a new one is approx. $550 bucks just for the clutch itself. The Fan costs apporx $100.

Sext's received. I agree it doesnt look too bad in the pictures but its never good getting pumped from behind..... :ph34r::ph34r:

yeah its not Scotty. The only problem is that with things like that is that you dont fully know the extent of the damage untill you look deeper.

Plus the the whole inconvenience of everything is hurtful and when it happens to your baby............well it hurts even more.

But in time, I think that the B@mobile ( :P ) will be back in action.

To be honest that sounds like something that shouldve been noticed and fixed while it was in the shop.

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
