Anyone wanna see a turbo Busa vs a 1000hp Skyline??? Come on, I've seen the vid you're talking about and the bike is stock/near stock and the 'line has the baps worked off it - hardly an even match. Turbo the Hayabusa though and things get interesting!

There is a drag 'Busa that makes 562rwhp, or a fully street regged one making 450rwhp and both weighing under 300kg with rider, care to line those up? These are just the ones that I know of, there may be even more insane ones. In the Ghost Rider video, he has one with 417hp, and he pops the front wheel at an indicated 320km/h. Methinks that the GTR, as much as I love them, would be seriously outclassed...

All that said, when did we ever say that "every bike will beat every car"? A bog stock litre sportsbike will annihilate just about any bog stock car though - even things like a $2m McLaren F1 will be beaten in a straight line by a $18k GSXR-1000 for example. Work the car and they get an advantage. Work the bike and, given a suitably insane rider, it will own nearly any car on the road.

Your argument is stupid to say the least. The HKS R33 is damn quick, but a Top Fueller is heaps quicker, therefore the HKS GTR isn't that quick. Makes sense... :D

Nobody can compare cars to bikes. It's like chalk and cheese.

I've got a few mates that have bikes (damn nice ones too), and I can understand why they get them. Me, well I like the idea of turning the heater on when it's minus 10 outside. :D

But yeah - they are two totally different things.

Agreed, that's sort of what I was getting at with the GTR vs Fueller comment.

Jay - that's one of the main reasons I still have the car :D For me, the experience of riding a bike far outweighs any slight discomfort issues (particularly on long trips - ouch) but I do still like to have the option of being comfy.

I've found the best way is to see how many times he's changed by 100km/h - in the late-model sportsbikes, if you hear them change before then (maybe once), they aren't trying :D Mine indicates 134km/h on the rev limiter in first and 188 in second, that should give an indication as to how tall the gearing is.

Think about it though, if traffic is massively banked up and your bike is capable of moving through 200m of stationary cars, you're not going to wait at the back of the line when you can safely get through, I'd just be worried if the cars started moving halfway through.

I even move over for motorbikes so they have room to get past. Not only does that limit the chances of your car getting hit but it does not hold them up either. I always get a wave of appreciation if I do this.

Do you remember that bloke who was decapertated on his bike whilst racing a car down Roseville Bridge when the car clipped him. Make sure you aren't the person who could cause this!!!!!!!!!!!

Doc

i have never riden a bike, but if i did i'd probably lane split - isn't that the point of a bike - so you can go in bus lanes and get to the front of traffic jams?

the only thing that shits me is harleys with loud exhausts, i really hate them. likewise i hate cars with really loud exhausts (but they are never as loud).

i think i bend the rules to the same degree in a car so i can't really complain

isn't what every single person on this forum does? waits behind cars for the first opportunity to pass?

Just wanted to make put in my 2cents.  I have never, NEVER in my life had a motorbike sit behind my car, going the speed limit.  They are always waiting for the first opportunity to overtake.  

It really annoys me, I don't really know why.

Any ways, I can't wait to get a bike licence, I love high power jap bikes and will own a hyabusa one day, parked next to my GTR.

Greg.

Tim, get back in your corner, you're making too much sense :D

I think the problem is that, unofficially, there is one set of rules for bikes and one set for cars. The funny thing is though, that as Timmy G said, it's OK to bend the rules in a car (and damn, have I seen some MAJOR rule-bending), but jump on a bike and you have to ride like you're doing your license test all the time or risk the wrath of cage drivers. Pfft.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
