Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Martin 1, Leopard 0.

Had to get the alternator out of the bastard, thought for sure that would be an engine out job, but turns out it isn't! Was quite a battle but I got it out in the end, although there was literally millimetres in it, any worse and it would have been engine out for sure. Not quite sure how I'm going to get it back in :S but will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Also, turns out she has Takata belts, who knew?

How are both the cars Martin?

Leopard will probably be up for sale very soon. Alternator is dead but I'm replacing it, tried that silicone spray trick on the seat belts but it didn't seem to help.

Wedge is going fine. Clutch pedal got noisy the other day but I sprayed a f*ck tonne of silicone spray on it seems to have sorted it out :). Still using oil, haven't looked again to see if it's leaking or burning it though. Probably retire her from daily duties soon so that will give me a chance to sort it out

Re mystery oil burning, In my old R32 i was always losing oil slowly, turned out it was an oil seal in the turbo that just let little bits out constantly, it was a small enough amount that it would burn up instantly and not cause noticeable smoke but it was enough to almost empty the damn sump if you forgot to keep an eye on it!

Does anyone know if the pistons on R34 GTT brakes (F&R) are the same size as Z32 brakes? I know the rotors are different sizes... Not sure about the acutal pistons though...
they are the same Tony

Wish my car came with brembos :(

Will have to get a set of bigger brakes sometime this year. Unsure of direction to go. Kit out of china, Brembo's off of r34, Evo Brembos... lots of choices.

brembos from other cars ie R34 GTR are a poor upgrade...........save and get a big brake kit........I'm not a fan of Chinese brakes hence why I have AP Racing 6 pot brake kit

Brembo F50 / GT kit, Endless, Trust / Alcon all quality brakes but expensive
