Notice given - time to cruise carsales

Didn't you just ask for a pay rise?

Although I do like the look of the R1.. very much so.

$7500

May as well have printed AIDS on the front, that is f**king hideous.

lol dezz and Leigh get R1s

/R1saustralia

Seriously though, love my bike...wouldn't trade it for much, only a top level Duc or a big cruiser if I got sick of sports bikes. You'd be very happy with one, they are just extreme.

another question

Solid mounts: yes or nor(reasons supporting why not)

taking it you talking engine/gearbox mounts?

I moved from the OEM to the nismo "solid" mounts when had the engine out.

Engione def has less movement which I assume is a good thing for the drive train

best point isgearbox moves less so you have much more confidence in where the gear leaver is.

b4 them leave in gear hit boost and it porb moved an inch or so, now just MM.

mates S15 was ever better it was soo sloppy b4 gear leaver would be moving a couple inches when hit boost or lift off, he went same and cleaned up nicely

Yeh so you reccomend.. Is the car uncomfortable to drive with the mounts or as normal? Coz they aren't exactly solid they are just nismo poly urethane right?

Reason I wanted to as I saw it on the dyno and the motor moves a shit load, then Scott was trying tighten the wastegate and as he was pushing against it the whole motor moved. Don't know if fkd or just how it is but I didn't like it. How do you rate 'Megan' stuff? $250 +ship for engine and gearbox mounts, they are pretty much the nismo ones with a different brand stuck onto it

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
