Im with ruby, I would try to avoid her if i could but id knock someone down before risking my safety or property. I've scared the crap of of a few people in the city buy braking at the last minute and almost clipping there legs, some people look and see you coming but just walk anyway and expect you to slow down for them. :P

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Dave, u will most likely need to get your guards rolled abit to fit the KU36. I use to run a Sumitomo 235/40/18 on a 10" with no problems, put the KU36 on and major rubbing. good luck tho

yeah, probably. got a cubic f**kton of room under the front guards though, so ill see how i go. rears are getting rolled however. even with the 215 KU25's im thinking they'll be getting rather intimate.

Sooooo, if anyone knows anyone who might be interested in buying my R34, please let me know. Taking quiet "eoi"s at this stage, as I don't really want to sell it, but have my eye on something different .... mine makes 230rwkw and I just added up a shopping list of mods I have done to it and it totals around $12k of extras. I am hoping for around $25k.

Drop past JIS and have a talk to Paul, he said last week he wouldn't mind a 34 sedan when he sells the 180.

Fantastic, real hero! Ok she might have been in the wrong, and yeah, I would have gone off at her too, but c'mon man, there's no need to advertise you'd rather chose to hit someone than scratch your bike. Sure as shit if I were in my car and someone jumped in front of me I'd swerve instead of hitting/pushing them out the way. Sorry if I've misread what you posted, that just really irked me

Yes ... you've misread what I posted. Don't compare apples to oranges. A car is not a bike.

In case you didn't know, the front brake lever is on the right hand side handle bar. I would have hit her anyway, I couldn't avoid her. And in that sense, hitting her with the brake lever forces the bike to low side. And I've seen what happens there. Ever ridden a bike? Even at 50kph that low side on a 190kg bike will break bones. She's going to get hit anyway ... I'm ensuring my own safety. I broke my shoulder last year in a 50kph low side. So I know first hand what can happen. Do you?

Get the facts right. I'm not advertising I'd rather hit a pedestrian. Because I DO NOT prefer that outcome. Don't put words in my mouth. But I'm the rider, have been so for 20 years, and I use my judgement ... not what members of a forum believe I should do. She stepped out in front of me, all this occurred in less than 1 second @ 50kph. My instincts told me to stick out my elbow. In any case, she fell on her ass ... got a scare, that was it! No one broke bones, including me .. so I'm happy with the outcome, even if you are not.

For the record, a very close friend was killed on her bike by a non-attentive (drunk) pedestrian. People complain motorcycles are dangerous because they're exposed to things a driver is not. That argument serves most people well when they want to complain about motorcyclists, but when that "danger" includes a pedestrian, its a new set of rules?

There was no avoiding. My safety comes first. Pedestrians in the city are plain dumb. Its bad enough in a car ... its worse on a bike.

I'm going to play Carmageddon now :D

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
