You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Picked up new turbo...and so begins my quest for teh power and teh E-flex. Question...install myself or pay OTR $250 to do it? Seems like an easy job but I always run into trouble and woudn't mind playing COD while someone else sweats over my engine bay.

If I'm gonna settle for something in the middle I'd just go back to the 250 ninja and learn on that, upgrade to gixxer after 6-9 months

I've sat on my mates 250 Ninja, more upright position like yours than the real deal Ninja and other supersports..

There's a nice Ninja at my work every now and then, green which isn't my style but a tough looking bike..

I'm leaning towards an all black 2009 gixxer though, not a fan of the newer gixxers, something about the front just doesn't do it for me...

Just man up and get the gixxer, I kinda wish I did now but still happy with my bike. As long as you survive first few months should be fine.

Get the manifold taken off, and change the studs whilst it's being done.

Will cost more, but likely you already have at least one crook stud in there :D

Yep good advice this, I already have new studs and genuine gaskets ready to go on at the same time. One of the nuts already free spins from memory :(

Enjoy getting any broken ones out. I had 8 in total broken. Gotten 7 of them (one is being a tight as f**k c***)

Tried drilling pilot, them 5mm drill to left hand thread drill piece (easy out)

They all came out like that (easy)

This one won't really budge. Used shitloads of rust of ice, tried hitting it with oxy. No luck. :rant:

Keen to just throw it together with the one not on. (did it on old motor for same reason and lasted 3,000km (till motor blew) but thats not good enough. Want to do it properly.

There is my rant anyhow.

And ye - Thread Doctor - he is a "come to you" guy, does it on the spot.

Cheap as well which is awesome considering how much of a headfcuk of a job it is to do if you dont have the tools.

Even most workshops just call him lol

Got new sway bar links cos one of them was clean snapped, spent 1hr trying to fit just one side to the hardest setting on my sway bar with no luck... Surely there is an easier way? Anyone know any tricks? Used the trolley jack pole to move the sway bar and still nothing....

Sway bar links are whiteline, incase anyone was wondering

Likelihood of getting pulled over though? (When not riding like a Flynn)

You will get done for riding on a large bike while on your restrictions if:

1. By chance you are pulled over for a check perhaps for something else and they realise

2. They drive behind you, check the rego and note that the registered owner is not licensed to ride the bike. This can be avoided by getting someone else to register the bike in their name if you can convince them

3. You crash the bike. Insurance won't pay out if you're not licensed and I count that as 'doing yourself'

I've know multiple people who have been caught while riding on their restrictions or who have written off bikes while on them

i see.

put fake rego plates on and do a runner if you get pulled over :whistling:

but you'll most likely crash it since your still learning on it...

Lol exactly, I found the time on my 250 was priceless... Although I think I was a special case. Getting your knee down on the Black Spur on a 250 that is the sloppiest bike in the world isn't what most learners will be doing.

I'd recommend just dealing with a less powerful bike for max 15 months. It will do great things for your skills and you don't have to look over your shoulder. Once you're off them it's like it never happened.

Havn't done much welding and the studs 'tend' to snap approx 2 threads INTO the head so I don't know how u would go welding onto them with minimal space and surface area.

Ended up getting the last one so all good. :banana:

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
