The bolts to get my coilpacks out are they 12mm

yes steve.

if i buy a brand spanking new Power FC, will i still need to get it tuned?

trying to figure out if its worth buying a brand new 1 or 2nd hand? seem as both will require a tune.

You will be able to drive it but its best to get it straight onto a dyno to see where its at, as every car behaves different to it.

well i cant get my bloody turbo lines off :P

got the dump pipe off which was a bitch! and the gearbox crossmember hmmmm ill leave that to ryan LOL

lol, see ya soon mate.

Just had a phone call from some wanker enquiring about my GSXR race bike. :no:

Him: "I heard you're selling a bike. What is it and how much?"

Me: "GSXR 600 race or track bike only. No road gear. Comes with race stands front and rear, tyre warmers front and rear, spare race fairings, spare gearbox and other parts. $5000 flat."

Him: "Will it take much to get it on the road?"

Me: "Not my problem. You've called about a 'race bike' mate. Obviously, you haven't read the ad, nor do you know what you want to buy."

Him: "Thats why I called you. I was only told by a mate you had a cheap bike for sale."

Me: "I have a race bike for sale at a cheap price, if thats what you mean." (I've already made my mind up this guy is a tool)

Him: "So its not registered?"

Me: "You're a dreamer mate, and I don't deal with dreamers. I'm not selling a race bike to a young fool looking to kill himself racing on the street. Good bye"

Him: "Nah, wait mate. I'm trying to buy a bike for my brother, not me. Can me and my brother come look at it."

Me: "Won't get you any closer to owning it."

[hang up phone]

:D

I get nothing but clueless f**kheads, dreaming they're the next Casey Stoner. But they all want a cheap road bike. Yet, they ring up for a bike advertised as a "race bike, no street gear". Then they try and talk me down on price.

Its a bargain, its a steal, its the sale of the century ... f**k it I'm keeping it.

[end rant]

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
