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!!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
