Well I just did 225km since posting last. Went through the Nasho, stopped at Thirroul for a coffee, up Bulli Pass, Appin road to Campbelltown and then over to Oran Park to catch up with a few SAUers who were tracking it. Went back home the same way. Saw a few cops and had no trouble as I was doing it leisurely as we will on the cruise I'm organising.

Well I'm thinking the 20th because a few people have told me they can't do the Saturday. Have you booked already Johnno?

Event thread.

Yeh i booked my eastern creek track day for the 20th!!

Shit shit shit the ride day is the 20th :yes: dammm

I unfortunately don't think i'll be making the ride day on the 19th..

Had my first bike accident on monday night. Was riding home from my gf's parents place about 9:30, she was in front in her car. Coming down towards the bottom of cattai ridge rd in glenorie if anybody knows it, Pitch fkn black at night time, windey, very narrow and no street lights... well there was 2 HUGE black cows walking on the side of the road! She broke pretty hard but by the time i came up to them they were walking towards the middle of the road & saw them last second. Hit front brake tried to hook it right, front wheel lost traction and lowsided. My knee, helmet, and forearm bit the tarmac..Bike went sliding down the road about 20m or so. My gf in front turned around and was pretty hysterical, worse than me haha.

There's a few properties near where this happened so just trying to find out who owns these fkn cows and tell them what happened!

Ah well, bike will be fixed and i'll be right as rain soon. Every bike rider knows this will happen one day, im just glad it wasnt any worse. My jacket, gloves and helmet are scratched up and ripped my right knee outta my jeans..theres a 2m long mark on the road from my jeans, little bits of denim stuck in the tar haha.

Bike is in at Hawkesbury Honda getting quoted up for the repairs..

You're obviously bike mad Large so I am assuming "1990 Gsxr1200" is a typo.

Looks fairly superficial at least Jono, race tape a new indicator on there and lets go!

No not a typo.

It's a 1201 big bore GSXR motor in a 1981 Katana frame with GSXR usd forks, swinger, dash etc

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
