I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of any vids showing a GTR and a Hayabusi dragging. Just want to settle a bit of a dispute with a mate and would love to see it anyway.

If not a Hayabusa, then maybe other quick bikes R1 etc and of course with a win to the GTR.

Thanks!

I have a video of a modified Supra dragging a stock Hayabusa. Would that help your dispute?

And a win to the GTR would prove what exactly? That you can tailor-build your own car for $80k+ that will beat a $15k motorcycle?

No, actually it would prove that a street registered car is capable of beating a $35000 bike or one of the quickest bikes around which is what he does not believe.

You could tailor build your own car for $80000 or you could just buy an R32 for $41000 with 850hp which is what I am test driving on Tuesday.

Of course a street registered car is capable of beating a Hayabusa.

It all depends on how much money you have to sink into the car. Oh, and just because it's street registered, doesn't mean it's street LEGAL, which it won't be.

Anyway, this is comparing a HEAVILY, HEAVILY modified car vs. Stock Hayabusa.

How about a modified street car vs. modified Hayabusa? Bye Bye Mr. Street Car :D

Saw a turbo-charged blue Hayabusa run at the creek once.  Man that thing flew...  Would hate to think what it would take in dollars on a street car to beat it.

I would even venture to say it would be near impossible for a street car to beat it.

Stock busa does low-mid 10s... What would a worked (turbocharged, etc) busa run? mid-high 8s? low 9s?

How many 8 seconds cars do you know? Now ask yourself how many of them are true "street cars"? :)

But the thing is, with bikes that quick and powerful, there aren't that many riders out there that can launch them at their full potential, as they're scared of flipping the thing, or flying off the back.... and rightly so! I'd wet myself piloting a busa down the 1/4 mile, let alone a turbocharged one!!!! :D:)

Hayabusa at Final Battle was converted to 3-wheel, was turbo charged, and had NOS. Talked to the owner, and he said it's run a 5.5 1/4 mile assisted by NOS, and a 7.5 without NOS. And for some reason, it's registered as a car, because of the 3 wheels, and so he doesn't need to wear a helmet....insane

Martin Donnon once pondered in an Aussie mag (prob Hot4's) what it would be like to take the 1300cc motor from a Hayabusa and fit it to a Cappuccino.

Would LOVE a crack at one of those on a track! (Round a track not just straight along it though :D )

I don't know what you've been smoking, but a Hayabusa does not cost anywhere near $35k. Unless you're talking about adding $20k worth of mods of course. But if you're talking about mods, see other people's posts above.

Brand new they are just under $20k. Second hand you can get them for under $13k. $15k is about average. Have a look on Tradingpost if you don't believe me. For $35k a Hayabusa would be running 8's easily. I think there's a turbo kit for around $10k, plus you lengthen the swingarm to help stop it looping.

I'm not saying that one is better than the other, all I'm saying is by having a GTR that can beat a Hayabusa is only proving that you have more money to burn.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
