:thanks:

nope hence why it should be interesting lol

was supposed to do that but told em i'm only free 1 day a week etc and they let me do the one day deal

hrmm I woulda done the 2 day (but fair enough if you only get 1 day off work) if you haven't ridden a bike before. They seriously just sit you on the bike and say off you go follow the pack and everyone just took off. If it were my first time on a bike I woulda been like errr.. altho these bikes are pussy and have no power so yeh you'll be fine lol just remember 1 down 5 up :)

Might be worth a look, kunce are asking for minimum $1500 for 10+ year old excels

excels look horrible :/

lol yeah there are some tutorial videos on youtube shows you exactly what to do, looks pretty straight forward but yeah never know till you try

I learnt clutch bike when I was like 8 so cant be that hard :D same as car really find the sweet point and if you let it out slow enough you wont really need to give it any throttle, you wont get out of 2nd or 3rd anyway I have faith! gl with it all!

First day of two is just teaching you theory and how to ride a bike, along with bits about what they'll be testing on the second day. If you've ridden a bike before or confident you'll know how to, you'll get by with just the one day. Maybe tell them your situation on the day and they might give you a little extra guidance before they start everyone on the practice riding again - of which they do plenty. It takes like 10 minutes of riding to get a good hang of it. Just remember to slip the clutch plenty so you don't stall, you can get away with this on bikes as most have wet clutches. They have the idles turned up on the learner bikes, so as Leigh said you may not even need throttle to get moving.

Yeh I'm not renewing never seem to get to sau events/meets so not much point.. Plus sold the skyline anyway lol

it isnt sold untill your side bar info is changed......

you still own a skyline alex.

you do.

I might actually renew my membership and attend some meets once I get a bike

Hahaha I was thinking about rocking up to some on the bike. Can have a small group of bikes following (or leading) the pack. At least the fuel isn't really an issue.

Well except for me...9L/100km :(

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
