I'm a bit rough on the troops at times . irreverent , irascible , acerbic , dirty old man with out remorse . I do have my good side . I really do teach what I learn and try to have some humor about it . Problem is I also have no problem calling an inept time waster just that , a waste of time . Guess I'll have to work on that .

I have nearly 30 years experience working on all common makes of motorcycle and and somewhat less experience working on those I can't spell . I honestly don't have a brand preference and believe that anything less than that you ride being more important than what you ride is a posture for a--hats , imbeciles and docile media led lemmings of the American public .

I digress , as per usual . If I reach the edges of your tolerance please inform me , publicly if necessary . I'm far beyond the age where a bruised ego means anything more than your using my transgression to show the rank and file what is and isn't allowed as well as keep my arrogant self out of trouble long enough to be of some assistance .

Now if anyone has read this far could you please let waxer52 know he has and apology of sorts and a reply/link in his crank thread thread

I looked around and found some things of interest but doubt I'll be around much . I'll just say thanks to all of you that pack waxwe52's PM box :thanks:

WTF are you on about? Perhaps start from the start instead of mid-essay...

Last I checked You still read and write something akin to English in Australia .

I get the whole 10 posts before you can PM (spam) someone but do you rely want to have some crazy Yank around for any more posts than it takes to deliver the message and be gone ?

All someone had to do was pass the message .

Last I checked being American doesn't excuse you from making sense...or does it? How about using your 10 posts to write something cohesive. Even some random numbers would make more sense.

Can't pass you a message when you don't link it correctly...

So a member here , waxer52 posts extensive pics of two stroke engine carnage at another forum Piston Bore Damage . I didn't spot the post until a month later and commented in that thread but thought if no one had answered in a month he might have given up on us . We are to all forms of motorcycles , notably kawasaki's but others also what all of you are to Skylines . Enthusiasts . I was just attempting to pass on some lessons that were learned the hard way . I'm a little unusual in that I go the extra little bit to help someone . Not many would chase down the posts of a new member all over the web to get the information to them . I would . I'm about as far from a troll as you can get . I actually get the whole idea of collective knowledge and experience benefiting all that care to , well , care . the corrected link crank thread thread

the guy is genuinely trying to help waxer52... agreed, his description of goings on didnt make too much sense.

but he has tracked waxer52 accross forums looking for him to let him know he replied to a post on a motorcycle forum which presumably waxer52 doesnt visit often.

thumbs up yankee, thats dedication :rofl:

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
