Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a good idea. I am not privy to this motor vehicle you are assembling. All i know is it has a Crank trigger setup [Which im learning more about and jealous of lol] and now e85 with a good fuel setup. Sounds like a cool machine in the making

Its not going to be anything too special, the crank trigger is really just about reliability, after nearly 10 years of cars 'going out of tune' i just want a car that I can turn the key and kick it in the guts HARD every time with out fear of frigging knock lights ruining the fun! At he moment I am capped to running only 14psi with little to no timing, it made 306rwkw then so I am keen to see what the set up is actually capable of with a stable timing signal.

And if I dont like that I will build the RB28 I have wanted for the last 6 or 7 years!

yeah Bunts car should kick some serious bogan V8 ass once she's all done :P

Ha ha I doubt I will cross paths too often with any rigs matching that description, happy laps grand prix is not really my scene!

Is those figures on pump 98? I made another 100hp when i switched to e85 and only added like 3 psi

Strippers FTMFW... Especially Lesbo shows.

This is true

Yeah that was on 98. I think the physical flow of my turbos will be the limiting factor, they are only babies so I think they will be incapable of pushing more air at 350ish kw, though they have been modified from stock so their limit is a bit unknown.

Ants, what's that whisky recommendation website that you use? Also, have you tried Macallan 12 or 18 YO?

Its this website mate http://www.smwhisky.com.au/

Yes, I have tried both Macallan 12 and 18 fine oak and also tried the Macallan Sherry Oak. I also happen to own both ;)

Does it come recommended?

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.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
