Yeah I wish, no both the wife and I had it handed to us by Adam, this was our first real ride in 5-6 years since before the kids came along. I have only done about 500 freeway km on the bike, and the last time the wife was on a bike she was riding a 250cc.

I want to do some motor bike school days next month and hope to step it up next time Im out.

Well since it wasn't my bike I tried to keep the front wheel mostly on the ground but holy crap those things go fast. I'll never stop loving thrashing the Skyline around a track but there is something to be said for hanging off the side of an engine on wheels, your face 50cm from the ground and your knee and elbow closer, while you scream around a corner.

My postie was no slouch either, keeping up with a mate on his R1 around the twisties only to see him disappear into the distance every time we hit the straight.

Pics of said postie:

Hey Adam, its Ramses.

How you been? Looks like your still riding a fair bit. Let me know the next time you go on a track day and hopefully i can make it. Weather looks good these days so let me know if your going on a cruise.

I spend too much time in the s15 now and i'm neglecting the bike. :P

Yeap the GP at oran, it was really good fun, and better then I originally thought it would be. It was cheap as well, $150 on a weekend BUT there were 160 bikes, no way we could ever put 40 cars on at once. It was really good after lunch once the numbers thinned out a little.

Hey mate, very good. I lost your number. Don't forget oroads. :D

yeah ive had my fair share of track days with my ex race bike (aprilia rs250) & an assortment of past 1000cc road bikes (r1, zx10r, gixxer) - get on eastern creek much better track as it used to be on the old 500cc calendar.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
