Best way is to have the bike on a stand, and spin the rear tire while constantly spraying on a sprocket (front or rear)

The other 'lazy' way which is what I usually do is just spray it where you can, move it forward a bit - spray a bit more and then go for a ride.

Haven't got one of those fancy stands, so I'll have to go with the wheel forward method...

Those stands, I'm guessing you need the bits that bolt on to the bike that the stand lifts it up on? What are they called and are they seperate or you get em with the stand?

Definitely get on it. It's mostly about lengthening the life of your chain and sprockets (and not having it overheat and snap on you), but it does make the bike ride quieter and smoother to ride too.

I usually spray it on the exposed part of the chain, wheel the bike forward a bit, spray again and repeat. There are little O-rings on each link that just going for a ride won't work the lube into, so it's good to spray the whole thing. Afterwards, either leave for a while to soak in / drip off, or you can wipe excess lube off with scot towels to reduce chain fling.

If your chain is particularly dirty looking you can degrease / kerosene it first, just be careful not to get this shit on your tyres and to wash it off with water, before putting the lube on.

You may notice it easier to wheel the bike after lubing; a good sign it was in need of one.

Is there a brand of chain lube that is the preferred lube in the bike world?

mate's brother who's a chauffeur, uses a 300c. once picked up/dropped off ice cube from the hotel to a gig and he complimented him on the car

/csb

Lol and ice cube starred in the kids movie 'are we there yet'

Yep a sell outs opinion is invalid lol

Any will do, as long as it says suitable for O ring chains...been using Shell's $10 chain lube for years. Recently bought Belring "chain wax" off eBay that's supposed to stick like shit to a shovel, people reckon it doesn't chain fling at all if you follow the instructions for applying.

Lol nah I Just hated them..

Nothing good came out of Chrysler

Eg crossfire, PR Cruiser, fkn Sebring

Yuck

been picked up from airport in the last 300C hated it, shocking visibility, not much space in the back

G6E turbo was very nice.

Volvo V60 t5 was also very cool.

Birds

do it

Maybe...looks off the tap but read they are a bitch to install. Fk changing them back after getting defected...

What year CBR you be looking at?

Wtf is chain fling?

Lube that flings off from chain while riding. Gets on your wheels and rear fender. Much worse on cruisers, can end up on your back :/

When I was traveling lots for my old job my driver had a bmw 7 series, pretty comfy I sat in front and talked cars with the dude all the time - had a v8 but he never gave it the beans because the car was pretty f**ked (350,000 ks)

yo hamish, i want some good cock places to eat kgo

cockcraving needs to be satisfied

fyp

we got the car moving under its own power today... not without it pissing oil every where though....

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
