+1. not a bike person but yeah, that brutale is hardcore... why selling that one and not yr other bikes? Too expensive to run/keep on the road?

I'm just sticking to a plan. I've owned the bike 12 months and I allowed myself 12 months of ownership, then I'd sell it. Its never been a keeper, rather an Italian bike I wanted to say I owned at least once. My TL1000R v-twin sportsbike is getting some work done and will be back on the road soon. I've had the TLR for 8 years and its my fav and a keeper.

Comparing the Brutale with the TLR, is like comparing an Italian soccer player to a Grid Iron player. :woot:

Having said that, I am thinking about registering the Brutale a bit longer, as the TLR is taking some time to get the work done. Oh, and 'yes' the Brutale is far more expensive with on-road costs and servicing.

my seats and carpets need a really good clean otherwise i would do them myself.......and even tho its all getting re trimmed next month i do want the car to look somewhat decent when she goes to see Claude for a few weeks lol

no one touches the exterior of the car except me tho. ive had troubles before (autosalon 07) with the graphics...........and due to the nature and amount that is on atm, id rather make sure its done right.

All I can suggest now damo is call this number 0448366938, his name is dave. Tell him your in the skyline club with me and he could still probably do you a deal for the day. Cant hurt to try?

Ok, i have just received my letter and entrant sticker for the big day. Didn't Cara say at vilis that she was going to have a meeting with use before the day? And as we are going in as a group display, we should all rock up at the same time...so any details at all?

As for cleaning, i have Friday off so I'm washing my car and then going to Troy's place to use his stuff :blush: , thanks Troy.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
