G'Day guys,

Looking to get an R32 which I will drive on the road, but would like to slowly build it up for track days also. Due to current outlays, the only way I can do this is to swap my 2004 R1. Its an awesome bike, very well maintained and with some unique carbon fibre bits.

All info here.

Any questions welcome.

Cheers

keep the r1..

Ha, yes I do feel that when I ride it for sure!! I love this thing, but just dont use it anymore. I have never tracked it, but from having used to race sports sedans in QLD, I have the itch again and Superlap looks like a cool thing. So a change would be good for something I could thrash a bit, my Mercedes is awesome too, but cant imagine fanging around a track in it!! :D

if your planning on building a car for superlap... then why cant you still hang on to the r1?? as far as superlap cars go... $11000 is small change. one day, maybe a year or so from now, you'll want to take it out for a fang, and there it will be, in its capsule type cover, just waiting.. its not worth selling unless you really have to.. im guessing youve spent close to what you want for it on the parts alone.

people pay more for art, that just hangs on the wall and does sweet f/a, that thing is both art, and exciting

id pay $11000 just to have it in the garage, sitting on pit stands.

Problem is I have too much stuff! Due to starting a family I went out and have just bought a 2005 3.0 R Spec B Liberty Wagon. Its an awesome car, but I am now stretched out to pay it off. I also have a 1967 300SEL with a RB30 Turbo motor in it. Great fun, cool as car, but of course it soaks the cash as well!! So the only way I can play with a new toy (like a superlap car) is to exchange my bike to do it. Whether I sell it or trade it for something doesnt matter. So now I have my partners old car to sell, and my R1. $11,000 you say? Id take that for sure.

      Wind Noise

      By Kip · Posted

      Hi all, Enjoying learning about my new C34. Question for you experienced folks about wind noise. There seems to be a some around the A pillars. But for me, I think there's also some air leaking around the driver's window by the B pillar (e.g. right in my ear). Is this normal? It becomes significantly noticeable as you get up to 120kph. It gets louder as you add speed. The door seal is soft and in one piece. No rips or tears. The window appears to be seated properly. I am missing the external air deflector on the A pillar. Thoughts? -Kip

      Leather seat r34 gtt

      By whoistobias · Posted

      When it comes to leather seats for your R34 GTT, you might have to go the custom route. It can be a bit pricey, but the result is often worth it – tailored to your liking. Check with local upholstery shops or automotive customizing experts; they can help you design and install leather seats that match your style and preferences.

      Pretty quiet on the car front, my house decided that blowing a water line was a fun thing to do late in the year. Whoever built the house (typical Western Suburbs property developer) used some china PEX underground instead of copper or the real deal PEX. Anyhow there goes the gearset money LOL. In other news, some great person chipped paint off our door, when my wife approached the lady, she was welcomed a bunch of swearing. Found the business, got in touch with the owner/husband and greeted with arrogance. No point pursuing it further, not worth my energy or time dealing with terrible people. Is what it is, I'll sort out the other carpark door dings and shit all in one go when we sell the shit box. And some related car bullshit, I'm really over smelling the catch can, so I'm going to add a fitting to it and feed that to the turbo inlet pipe. I'll still leave the top vent on the catch can exposed, when the crank case/cam breather overwhelms the feed back to the turbo inlet it can still breathe out of the top. My broscience tells me that on idle, light load (off boost or tiny bit of boost) the vacuum generated by the turbo intake pipe should be enough to pull out some of the oil stench/fumes and combust it. There isn't much room to fit a fitting anywhere so an ORB to 10AN fitting will be attached to the front side, this landing in the 2nd chamber of the catch can. I did want to put a fitting next to the 2x exisiting ones, however we will need to get a pipe internally to bypass the first baffle at least, or else you'll just end up pushing liquid into the can and straight into the intake pipe.   Not a good month, money exiting Dose's bank account too fast, and future bank account.
