^LOL. Also waiting for delivery of said pics.

Varex ftw, can transfer it from car to car anyway so it's not a huge waste of money. Saved my ass a few times :)

A long term investment you say? That may be enough to convince myself to get one hehehe :P.

If you google 'Digital Gear Indicator' there's plenty available online. They can price up to ~$200 legit so I'd recommend something cheaper on eBay, $20 and hopefully it works lol. Or you can get to know your revs. If you know what your bike does in top gear at 100km/h then you can translate it to lower speeds and gears.

Did you like the meat though? Everyone else here seems to be ragging about it, I found it to be quite good and I even ate...get this...some medium rare beef...dun dun dun.

Nah no gear indicator. You can get aftermarket ones but cbf. Only time I'd find it useful is on the freeway, for knowing you're in top gear, but you can tell from the RPM once you're used to a bike. The rest of the time it's irrelevant what gear you're in, keep it in the powerband BABY

you using my babies now?

i have no complaints about the meat i thought it was good aswell but i'm no masterchef judge like everyone else here seems to be lol

as for the gear display i think it would make finding neutral alot easier lol

that along with a fuel gauge should come standard with every bike :/

i'll look em up thanks

I don't have gear display or fuel gauge lol. It's one of those things I wouldn't complain about having, but not a determinant in getting a bike cause it's pretty easy to live without them. There's more important info on my screen like my stopwatch :P

How u know to fill up with no fuel gauge? Mine is a life saver but I hate getting petrol so I wait till less than 10kms to empty to make my move

Lol

Lol

Bike switches to it's reserve tank and puts a low fuel light on. My bike also flashes "F-trip" on the LCD screen and starts counting up km like a trip meter - you get to about 40-45km before you completely run out.

Some older bikes made you manually switch to the reserve tank when the engine started chugging lol.

Try walking to the servo when you run out of petrol one day lol.

What's the point of a reserve is it's automatic? why not just put on a low fuel light

I ran out of fuel once, the red light didn't work :-/ Pushed it across an intersection to the BP

You only have reserve on bikes with carburetors (which is a physical switch), fuel injected bikes don't have a seperate tanks so it's a low fuel indicator. It's known as reserve because ye old days terminology carried over.

I usually find out how many k's I get to a tank and then reset my trip meter each time I refuel which then becomes my fuel gauge. Or you could just look in the tank.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
