a brand new out of the box gixa 1000 with a good friend of mine a writer for Rapid magazines on his first run ran a low-mid 10, I dont deny that some GTR's can beat bikes due to mine beating my brothers nija zx6 but you get a boosted busa or something of that insane nature and not many things will come close.

in that vid, the guy on the bike lifts the front on the front wheel something major off the line, and at the end of it the bike is catching the car.

my mate has a stock 97 gsx-r 600 and he ran a 11.2 at 120mph. a turbo busa will run 9's, and that is still foot shifting. if you put an air shifter on them they run quicker.

baaa - that aint ownage.

whatever makes you think that little vid of a puss 'vs' a gtr on a public street 'straight' road, is ownage?

bwahahaahah!

the ONLY TWO cars that have ever 'overtaken' me was

a) a little turbo mazda mx3 on a real cold winters morning, down in the sthrn adelaide hills near Myponga - had icing problem with the carbs on my 1996 ZX7R (research it, common complaint with the zx7r's)..... but he was flying, I never knew a little car like that could go that fast - mist have had awesome suspension as the roads were very 'floaty'.............and....

b) a early 2000 model Porsche GT3 thru the twisites in summer headn towards Strathalybn, I was on the Fireblade prior to doing the suspension, and this driver was an absolute nutter, mad driver, all over the road, very dangerous - there was no way I was going to attempt to overtake him back, he almost had 2-3 headons. was top fun but, shaking my head watching him racing to stay ahead!

During the 70,000km Ive ridden thru the Adelaide Hills on my 750cc, 899cc & 919cc sportsbikes, all Ive ever seen in my rear vision mirror is:

the eternal squabble - 4 wheels vs 2...

look at the power to weight - especially an R1, and the straight line equasion is fairly clear - in the dry.

dial in some corners, some water and some practicality, and then you have an argument.

been down to whoop-ar$e wednesday at kwinana and watched the bikes and the cars. yeah the bikes, standard, are faster. but they're bikes. different beast.

if all you want is straight line speed get a bike. you want to have a comfortable,all weather, stereo equipped, warm, girlfriend friendly transport, thats fast, fun and protects you from isiots who run stop signs, get a gtr.

btw, i also own a bike - and yes, i love it. its no more or less fun, its just different.

and a lot easier to squeeze thru traffic.

Hi,

Off the lights a highly powered gtr would beat a bike. Why? my bf says its to hard to launch a bike off the line unless you are really experienced. The average rider would not risk it in launching the bike off the line as it could overturn.

And a gtr dial in 7000rpm and he's gone...

Different story if its a rolling start on a highway or something. Im pretty sure a hayabusa and a 9sec gtr rolling along the highway the hayabusa would get it or r1 or zx12r and so on.

My father in laws hayabusa kills the powerr to weight ratio of a 900hp gtr if it was say 1300kgs.

Just my 2c , oh and my bf's.

Different Beasts, & i love em both :dry:

i've seen a skilled rider (deinately not me) run an 1100 Gixxer at Willowbank into the high 9's, no wheelie bars & didn't get the front wheel up at all. now that's talent! Love to see that up against a tried & prooven 9sec GTR..............that would be awesome!

but as for you 11.5sec & above GTR boys.................my Duke & just about any other liter bike on the road is gonna Smoke you in a straight line!!

Corners..................now that's a different story!!

the gtr would only be ahead for the first few meters. after that the bike will close the gap fast and over take it. i have a video somewhere with a race on a track between a porsche gt3 and a bike (not sure what but i think it is a r1). they are both professional drivers. overall i think they finish pretty close together. the porche is better through the corners, but down the straights the bike eats it.

lol @ comparing hugely modded car with stock bike

What's even funnier is hearing the excuses following a massively modded car getting owned by a bike that has nothing but a bolt-on turbo kit running 9psi and exhaust/airbox work... hahahaha

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
