Thought id share some pics of my new toy, its a tony kart thats been lengthened 40cm with a gsxr750 motor. I used a calliper off my lancer and a clutch mastercylinder off a silvia frontcut for the brakes with a braided line i had made up. The throttle and clutch cables also had to be made up. This is the first attempt and there are a few small things im going to change to make it better, first thing will be the gear ratio. In 3rd you let the clutch out give a bit of gas and it fries the tyres. Had some trouble getting it to run good with the short exhaust on it and the free flowing air filters it was running extremely lean on the main jet, so far we have drilled them out to 2mm but its still got some more left to go. Im thinking of putting the t25 turbo from the front cut i got on it later but gotta finish my lancer project first lol.

Looks awesome. a mate built one similar, they are really a bit silly, there is no way they put any power down, it will still be wheelspinning at 140km/h regardless of what gear ratio you put in it. Just be carefull, the shorrt wheelbase means that they are keen to turn around, and at 100km/h they can step out and flip in about .1 second.

Looks pretty cool Russell, i used to have a shifter kart with a ducati 848 motor - V-twin FTW :google:

Its an interesting set up, i take it the motor is a pre 98 750 motor???

Yeah its a 93 model motor. Burnt a new set of tyres off it today and its unreal fun but tyres dont last long enough.

Where did you run your kart at?

:( yeah tyres dont last long when your having some fun with these things, probably one of the only downsides really.

I ran mine of a couple of karting tracks here and also took it around Baskerville (full race track) for a bit of fun as well. It did see the "occasional" street use but was always out of well established housing areas so we didn't annoy anyone :)

Gixxer kart is cool, my first shifter kart was powered by an 02 gixxer 1k motor which i sold so i could build the 848 (V-twin FTW :( )

I'll try and dig out some pics to post up :D

hehe.. man that is seriously over powered! can I have a go?

I'm building a off road buggy with a 1.3L in it... should weigh in about 350kg (if i can keep the weight down, also depends how much i can strip off the engine!) Wont be as crazy as that little machine, but will feel like it on dirt!

Good on ya!

This is my toy that i have created.

2005 model yfz450 atv with a 2006 model zx10r engine.

ive had it to 230 kph across a paddock several times, and

also 160 kph wheelies are a breeze.

have a look on youtube under yfz10r for some vids.

so grandmasterb tell me more about the ducati 848.

im looking for that exact motor for my next quad.

where did you get one from and how much was it?

pm if u like.

Looks like a pretty wild conversion Darren :dry:

I purchased a written off 848 to pull the motor/box out of to use from auction. I had actually one out there to bid on something else but then got crazy thoughts when i spotted it :huh:

I was lucky that no else bid on it so it only cost me $1300 which i couldn't really complain with as there were a couple of other things that i sold from the bike that were still in good condition :bunny:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
