Some of the reviews HERE and HERE. Tacker hardly goes easy on them too, running full slicks in 40+ degree heat. The v8 supertaxis even have to change their brake setup when they run there due to the heat. For the price they look like a decent kit.

thanking you simon

i knew they were there, i just couldnt be assed finding them :)

Yeah i have always loved bikes for speed and agility, but fark its scary when some smuck pulls out in front of you while your cruising along...

As for Evo's i guess its all in the way you dirve it as to how long the diffs and gearbox's last, however buying second hand im sure they have all been flogged hard...

i agree its all about the way you drive it.....but if i have an AWD I want to make use of it

In short there may be 2 skylines in the garage again soon

lol, cars are more agile than bikes, they(bikes) have to slow down heaps when cornering, not to say they arent cool!

also more dangerous... for the rider that is, i wouldnt mind gettin a bike (and bike license) for the pure acceleration! :)

Edited by RusH_

yeh Im gonna do mine before the rules change just in case i want to get one, at least then I can take my bro's new Gixer for a spin when he wants to go posing in the skyline

I think the main thing is there will be a restriction on the first bike your allowed to ride no matter how old or experienced you are just as thr current 17yr old learners have to start on 250's

me riding a 250 that would be a sight poor little bike would be screaming its tits off at 60kph

Yeah they will also be a minimum number of hours needed to get your licence, so no more doing a one day or 2 day course and getting it...

Also most fo the Q-Ride places will put they prices up quite a bit to cover the higher insurance after a Q rider was killed on his road test in Southport last month...

So the system is changing, for the better i must say as its far too easy to get your licence atm. But that said go and do it now while you can do it quicklly and cheaplly...

That said ive had my licence coming up 9 years in June and ive never had an accident on my bike/s its all about how you ride it and how you monitor other drivers behaviour...

I did my licience under the old old system where you had to go on a supervised ride with a transport department officer, was not easy but i got it first go...

The old system was if you stuff up once on the test and your gone, have to come back another day and try again. As where with the Q-Ride system you keep trying til your competent...

Congrats mate, there's nothing like driving your own GTR for the first time but FFS, get an insurance cover-note on the car BEFORE you even drive it home. Can be done on the phone, 28 days to pay etc.......

Enjoy!!

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
