Helmet was around 500, jacket around 500, pants around 250, gloves around 100, boots around 250-300

cant remember exactly but pretty close to those prices, got a little bit off due to buying all from peter stevens at once

Yeah all sounds pretty standard...I've got a hookup at Peter Stevens so that should help nicely

you at least need helmet jacket and gloves imo which will set you back over 1k for some decent gear.

I asked the guy how much do i need to spend on a helmet he replied "how much is your head worth?"

It's true to an extent but also a sales pitch...I'm no expert but from what I've been told by those who are, if it passes the Aus standards, it'll protect your head pretty much as well as any other helmet that has. The more they cost the lighter and therefor more comfortable they are, so cost doesn't always = safer, usually just more comfortable and better looking

I won't skimp on gear though, like I said, nice astars jacket and gloves, I'll go all out on the helmet, and probably boots and some pants, probably the kevlar jeans to start

Not really, he knows what he is doing, does tricks like sits on the tank, stands up on the seat, legs to one side... also drifts its pretty damn good

I'm sure he's good at it, but pretty much everyone who does shit like that, on bikes or in cars, 'knows what they're doing' until they wrap themselves around a pole that is.

Mo, youre a f**king retard...

Get a set of plain draggin kevlar jeans, for if you ride to work or what ever they look acceptable. But I also want to get a pair of 'army' style kevlar jeans for the fun rides

Would mean having to get changed when I get to work, might just go the work pants and boots for riding to/from work

Saw the exact 250 I wanna get tonight, it's always parked out front of the cinemas here..Young dude was leaving on it as I came out....Someones gotta tell him you're supposed to ride the bike, not the clutch

Buy his bike then

When I start working in the city in a few months I'll prob ride way more.. if every day I'll get a Ducati I recon (once I legally get off restrictions..)

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
