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/

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
