You're northern suburbs right? We'll head up Mountain Highway one day/night, it's about 10 mins from me and I'm 30 from the CBD, you'll love it, trust me.

No idea where that is will need to google map it. I'm sure it's fun for you you'll just leave us noobs behind -.-

Haha nah mate, I can ride fast in my own time, riders look after each other, it'll be very nice and easy for you if we go up there.

FWIW, 250s tend to do better on these tight curves, being lighter.

My mate said the same thing when we rode to Yea... Caught up to him after he'd been stopped for ~10 minutes...

As for 250's being quicker due to lightness, unlikely.. Unless it's am experienced rider on the 250 and a noob on the big bike... I was topping out at 150 on the straights while they did 150 through the bends..

Bigger tires, bigger brakes, more power etc etc

This ain't Yea though, you can't go any faster than 30-40km/h through a lot of these corners - there are some serious hairpins and the bigger bikes are hard to pull around them at any decent speed. The lightness of a 250 allows a tighter turning circle and you don't have to put as much leverage on the bike to get it turning sharp. Obviously rider skill plays more of a part in being faster, I'm just saying that his bike won't be holding him back around the curves.

Will try and get some GoPro footage of me doing a run up there, I've been meaning to for a while.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
