Haha how slow do you have to take the corners on that hill...so damn tight. Gotta slip the clutch in 1st on some turns :/

Haha i know some of them are like wtffffff up and around really tight 1st or 2nd gear for me

lol @ that phaggot

Leigh what's done to the xr6?

not sure, good thing is the 4lt means you can pretty much strap on what ever turbo you want.. crazy

lol

wtf do you do for a living?

I'm a system engineer, (Although returning from NZ I'll have a new job which is like a commissioning technician role)

Hump is growing on me...

need to meet june 24th dead line, bride copy will do.

lol what are you on a car building reality tv show?

lameeeeee!

Give it a couple of years, most jackets will come with them and it will be a minority that don't have them lol. I wouldn't have one on a commuter/cruiser/motard, but if you're hitting the corners on a speed machine you will look the part.

R1/R6/GSXR/CBRRs I can understand, but if you got a 250 / cruiser / motard then yeah I reckon a bit lame as they wont get any decent speed anyway lol

ride in 2 weeks time :D you can come over and help me put on my new parts if they arrive :P

I was reading up on them earlier, apparently they give more protection than they do aerodynamic assistance. Some manufacturer did wind tunnel tests and found little to no aerodynamic change, whilst people have been in crashes with them and claimed that the hump levels out your back with the back of your helmet - therefore less pressure on / chance of hyperextending your neck in a fall.

Yeah I'll give you a hand.

i've never fallen off my car...

I'd happily have the hump if im riding an R1 lol but on a lil 2fiddy looks a bit overkill

Aparently makes a noticeable difference on freeways/high speeds

Some find it uncomfortable though

Dez what jacket you getting?

Something in the Dainese range

ill try this again as i accidentally posted in vic post your ride thinking i was in wasteland >,<

parts left japan on monday according to rhdjapan and i come home today and they have arrived :S

    • 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?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • 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...
