dunno if its worthy of being in here but i thought it may be of interest as its still fabrication and it took fkn days!!!!.....Its a fuel tank for my 2009 CRF450x that has been fitted with a CR500 engine...... its been hand beat /english wheeled/sandbagged/welded you name it its been there!I still need to bump out a few ripples, start making the bottom and weld in the filler cap thread

yeah the CR500 engine guzzle fuel like nothing so i needed extra capacity which i will gain at the rear near the carb....also the original tank run too close to the sparkplug and water outlets on the big bangers head so i also did it to make extra room at the front

no i didnt....a camera was the last thing on my mind.....although my bro and his mate built this thing that weighed 170 something kilos with over 170HP at the wheel piloted by current world endurance champion steve martin at the phillip island classics and it fkn destroyed everyone taking almost 2 seconds off the lap record and winning every race by a massive ten seconds......i think they are going for more HP and he is currently building a new frame thats bound to be a work of art.....im pretty sure he wants me to make a tank so i will get some pics in progress if you like....heres the bike!

long live the two strokes!!!! yep an ex-Yamaha RD rider right here. Well sort of ex, I sitll have it among my dad's massive collection of rd and rz's, but its just in pieces begging for a revival.

This kind of work is unfortuantley fading but seeing stuff like that makes me wonder why people like the computerised stuff when something hand made comes out as good as that, well done.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
