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 .

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 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:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
