He was talking about bike gearboxes Pat...not a good idea to do it in synchromesh car gearboxes. You can get away with it but it will wear the dog teeth on your synchros faster.

You can get a "quickshift" for motorbikes that cuts your ignition momentarily as opposed to you rolling off the throttle during a gear change, it's suppose to make clutchless upshifting much smoother. Personally I just use the clutch..it's still fast as hell and you're talking tenths of a second in difference between clutch and no clutch. The slowest part of changing gears in a car is the gearshift itself, which is negated by how quickly you can change gears using a foot lever on a bike...as long as your hands are quick you can be fast with the clutch.

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.

The GPX was the only 250cc bike to complete some notoriously hard 10,000km rally that most bikes can't finish without breaking down, if I recall correctly. Can't find the info on it but I think it finished 9th overall, out of like 100 bikes.

i made that mistake too...

but i'm going for an old ninja... when i find the cash..

eh tj, how reliable are they?

So far so good, old issue I had recently was a fried spark plug and a small issue with the carb, but that's becuse i put 98 fuel to clean out the system so drained that all out, kinda jammed the jets in the carb. Other than that I ride this thing hard as!

If you kinda on the heavy side, the rear is a little soft or my shocks are gone, next thing I have to look at, bikes done 18,000 think their due anyway

All depends, if things have been replaced and the majority of the bikes engine is under 10, why not, I got mine at 14000 for $2800 the dude even rode it from Geelong to drop it off :)

probably start shopping for a bike next week

Anything in particular to watch out for? Or just the same as inspecting a car?

Try and take someone with you who knows bikes, they are a different breed. Some guy put up a good guide in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/391934-bike-inspection-tonight/

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
