Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

I already have an exemption... For a turbo.

And hopefully I'll be buying the NA Saturday. If not turbo it is.

I rather get an NA now cos then if the cars in good nic keep it till I can swap the engine and it'll be sweet

If that's the case, then why not get an R32 and upgrade to a RB25 when you're ready? Lighter, prettier (in my opinion) and a 2L NA won't chew through fuel like a 2.5L NA would.

If you are set on getting a R33 NA, then make sure that it is 100% straight and manual. That way, you can flog the box (lol!) and it will take a beating. Will also teach you how the car moves and then you can put the head on a 30 and boost it - which is not as easy as it sounds but anyway.

It's auto, been re painted. Engine looks in good nic, r32s look weird to me. I can't drive manual skylines. I can't change gears properly and I don't want to learn.

thats not the attitude to have. I will teach u Kath in da GTR!

I can drive manual. It's just that from first to second sucks. Plus city driving is much better in an auto

This is true but you get used to it. If it's a factory or forgiving clutch, then you'll be right. No fun to be had in autos really.

Autos are designed to be more efficient and economical. I know that in mine, if I'm in D, the car isn't willing to stay about 2.5k rpm even when I'm hammering it. Eg: going around a corner pretty hard, you lift and the revs drop right down as it will automatically select the most economical gear. Whereas in tip, the TCU switches to sports mode and allows a lot more free revving. Don't know if the older manuals had this option. Also, if it isn't tip, how are you going to chose the right gear? If you're in traffic and want to give it a bootful around someone at 60kmph, the box will have you in 4th and you won't have the torque there. Just saying, that if you plan on building the car in the future, get as many things right now as possible as parts cost cash. You could be paying up to $1k for a decent RB25 manual box whereas buying a manual now may only cost an additional $300-$500. f**k with it, learn to drive it, destroy the clutch and replace it. You'll still be better off financially.

Don't get me wrong. Autos are great but if you want performance, it should be a manual or a very smart auto box.

    • I bought one for a 32 and it was junk, found its way into the bin
    • have a look at the other 2 stock rubber strips marked in blue. As you can see, they press against the cooling panel and leave marks. If the cooling unit panel isn’t there, the strip press against nothing therefore have no use. So Nissan was thinking ahead when they manufactured the cars, as they must’ve known people will install the panels in the future. Otherwise think about it, why else would they be there? Therefore that in itself directly infers that cooling panels do something. It might be to stop water and stop some air from going above the cooling panel so more of the air can be redirected between the cooling panel and the front bar. I tried to take a pic of it while the bonnet was closed but u can’t see shit in the photo
    • @DraftySquash @Duncan i misspoke, or this might be the other way. someone sent me a low res pic of it on It might completely close off the gap in red like in the second pic (second pic has gktech cooling panel on) .The 3 holes are for the plastic rivets used to secure down the front bar. The outer holes on the radiator side go underneath the condenser brackets If thats the case then there’s going to be no air going in through the grill between the bonnet and the bar for the radiator and condenser. Isn’t that bad? I mean less airflow to the radiator and condenser is all I’m saying
    • Interesting. Some of them were tight to lol
    • That's right, simple but works. Run out of load? Rescale the table lol. Want to be lazy and not rescale? Drag the K
