Fitting lock bar and camber arms with no prior experience. What a head f**k and a half. It was an easy job but f**king tight as f**k bolts made it hardddd

Didn't get enough time to lower front and paint brakes though :(

So 2 strokes are better than 4 stroke?

2 stroke are more powerful because they have a power stroke every two strokes of the piston, so 250cc is roughly equivalent to a 500cc 4 stroke. Cons: fuel needs to be mixed with oil, so they burn through that; two strokes need rebuilds more often; something of a narrow powerband.

Ah, bit like mower yeah?

Know much about the Ninjas?

Good/bad?

Good, very reliable. Still using the same engine (or at least an iteration of it) that they used in the GPX, which finished some ridiculous motorbike rally that apparently 90% of bikes don't finish and it was the only 250cc that finished. Talking from my memory here.

The four major Jap brands (Kawa, Honda, Suzi & Yam) are all hghly reliable, it's only finding something in good condition similar to purchasing any vehicle. Koreans are hit and miss, I've known a few to need new engines early on but my Hyosung lasted 45,000km and I completely thrashed it. European... Don't even bother unless you want it only for looks and will never ride it, or you are willing to spend the value of the bike again in repairs.

So to answer your question... Ninja's are good.

Lol watching jersey shore for the first time on mate, still have no clue what it's about but jesus these girls are so fkn stupid lol

Basically a bunch of guidos/american muzzas doing shit. I kinda like it tho lol but its so silly pinch.gif

Give me a Ducati or a TLR1000 any day of the week. Mates of mine have Duc's, no reliability issues to speak of other than complaints from neighbours :D

End of the day a v-twin just sounds wicked. Also the Jap bikes all going "bottom/mid side" exhausts atm looks shit house I reckon.

And before you get ya knickers in a knot, one of em have had plenty of jap bikes (and one still has a R1). Unless you wanna go out racing and going flat out everywhere... Looks good, sounds good, is good!

But they are farken expensive, but means you can pickup a 2-3yr old one and save fortune! :teehee:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
