best time for Hills driving: anywhere between 9pm to 9am

early morning (6-9am) is generally best for high speed bike riding :bunny:

dont go around giving them ideas now.

the zx9r looks nice btw, rode one a while back and really liked it, would prefer a zx7r over it though... just felt better to ride as a sports bike. the zx9r was a bit sluggish but it did have a good 60,000kms on it.

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

I found my old ZX7R awkward to ride. Felt too much like an old RGV in the riding position ... be a nightmare for Tangles to ride. The ZX9R is far more 'balanced' in its handling and performance. Rode my mate's ZX9R a few weeks back when I tuned his suspension and didn't mind the 9 much. But then again, any bike with carbs will feel sluggish ... throw on a set of flat slides :bunny:

good points made too ruby!at least there veiws on publishing comments isnt 'totally' biased.but its close

Its not just taxis and commercial truck drivers ... there is no real "mould" for a hoon. Could be a 16yo in a Corolla or a 50yo in a Landcruiser!

Last night I had a 4WD cock attempt to run me into a traffic light while I had my 10yo lad with me. His attitude had obviously been fuelled by the import flaming from the media. Pulled up behind him at the South Rd/Seacombe Rd lights and he put the 4WD into reverse threatening to ram me! f**king hoon!

Had I hit the traffic light, I'm certain the media would have made the story read something like:

Nissan Import in Late Night Rampage

Last night, a high-powered turbo Nissan caused mayhem and carnage, when it lost control due to speed on South Road, Darlington. Mothers ducked for cover with their screaming children as debris from the violent collision was thrown for metres from the impact. Nearby service stations were put on emergency alert, fearing the impact would start a fire, threating the local community. The two occupants of the high-powered vehicle, a 36yo male driver and his 10yo son were lucky to survive such a horrific crash. The vehicle, a high-powered Nissan Stagea turbo, is believed to have or not have lost control when it tried to drag race a Ford 4WD on this dangerous stretch of suburban road. It is also alleged that the 36yo owner of the vehicle was drunk, and had in fact allowed his 10yo son to drive the high-powered import when the drag race occured, as the son had only smoked cannibas earlier that night.

When the Advertiser arrived on the scene, it is believed the male driver and his son may or may not have been in possession of drugs, pirate DVDs, and stolen goods. A witness to the collision who didn't want to be named said: "At least the owners are showing their support for the car crushing, by crushing their own cars!".

Police refused to comment about allegations the car had in fact been rammed off the road by a hoon in a Ford 4WD.

Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

Hmm, I have a gift ... I should write for the Advertiser!!! :bunny:

lol @ this comment

And who do you think would buy a car like that, Paddy of Melbourne 2:09pm? Even if you dismantled it, who would buy the parts? That's right; another hoon. Any hoon vehicle that hasn't been sold as new by an Australian dealer should be crushed. Hopefully, this will protect the real enthusiasts, like most WRX and Evo owners.

Silly media, cant even state what is the car is correctly.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
