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 ;)

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

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
