hey guys, have been riding this as my daily driver but now with the skyline coming along i'm wanting to get something a bit more corner/track focused (would consider swap/trade with post 05 600's or 675).

I bought the bike as a show build half finished. didn't have any lights, fairings, etc. just a frame, engine and wheels. I built it up with all new quality parts including:

new headlight and mount

new fairings

new screen

custom paint on tank

stomp grips

pazzo levers

braided lines

quality led indicators

tinted screen

new stator

iridium plugs

new oil/filter, etc

gp look alike pipe (will try take a pic and send tomorrow)

kerker exhaust

I also had the bike checked over by evolution yamaha in epping to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, this included checking the motor and having the forks resealed and set up for my weight (100kg). the bike looks as new and rides brilliantly. I'm after a 600 as I had been riding a 2 stroke rgv250 for the last 5 years before this and miss the pure experience of cornering hard, the r1 does as well as any other litre bike but I find they all seem to carry a bit more weight into the corner and make it a little harder to get out cleanly. that being said, in a straight line it's a real thrill, I had the front lift on me in first, second and third yesterday, couldn't help but smile.

so that's the good, there are only a couple of things worth mentioning in terms of bad - the forks have a slight leak in one of the legs as a result of living on a dirt road, dust gets onto the legs and if you don't clean them regularly then this will happen, something I was unaware of until recently, if necessary I can have this fixed before any transaction.

- it has done 58650 kms, the owner before me used it as his daily transport and so have I, I would cover about 600 kms a week on this getting to and from work. the real problems with high kilometer bikes is that they get thrashed after sitting around without proper warm up and over time this kills them, that is not the case here, the bike has been used responsibly and routinely checked. I have changed the filter and oil every 2 thousand kms which comes around pretty often, and have had no drama's.

asking $9000 ono

      I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
