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!!

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
