I pick up my old race bike soon ...

But can't race it yet :(

Got some top news from a good mate ... :):D:thanks:

Just got off the phone to a mate of mine (engineer/guru/mad scientist) who is throwing some cash my way to get me back into racing on 250cc bikes!!! How cool is that.

He's a pommy Einstein with bikes and use to race proddies (250cc) in the UK. He's taking delivery of my race bike this weekend and setting it up for the Mallala circuit over the next couple of weeks. This might also include a strenthened bottom end, race exhaust system, and rejetting. Excited much? :(

Problem is ... I'm working in Victoria (Phillip Island) for the V8 Supercars and MotoGP over the next few months ... so I can't be there to help set it up. So its kinda handy he's helping out in a big way :D But he's a skinny runt at 70kg and I'm 85kg!

My first session on it might be early December. Racing season starts February 2010. Not really much time when you think about it. ... now where's that mountain bike?

i bought a sticker for my car off ebay. it says '100% jesus.'

im so gonna win a best graphics award at the christian car show.

    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
