Birds it was an fg or gf .. Leigh's one lol.. All he'd done is a 4" intake changed the cooler piping highflowed the injectors and tuned. And he's sitting at 304kw or something. With 12psi. Shit was on at like 2k rpm wheel spinning second, such an underestimated car!

LOL ^^

haha yep Aaron, dunno why so many haters I love it.

Birds BA XR6T are aids, BF F6 or FG XR6T ftw

Yeh man to add to the fact that sold it for me is that it's f**king comfortable as.

Sups guys!

Been away for a few days so just finished reading all the post.

Welcome back birdy!

Also an update on my stag, car got found and is sitting with the police doing some forensic investigation.....

Insurance is aware of this and said that i should check it out if it'll cost more than 1.6k which is my excess to fix or not since i can still withdraw the claim. hmmmm... advice SAU?

Congrats Leigh! Now u can get another bike..

Inb4 dezz "buy my bike"

Already sold

Seen the one for sale on throttle crew?

I like the slightly lighter bikes, r6 still has 120-130hp although upon researching a little bit cbr600rr is meant to be a better bike little less power but doesn't rev as high(105hp), only weighs 154kg dry too which is less than r6

edit: cbr don't look as good for the 2007-09 ish ones, hate that dash on it too.. no cheaper than r6s either

2008-2011 CBR 600's are pretty much the same.looks wise as far as I know...Charles will know.more

Only thing that changes is the colors really. I'm looking for a red/black 09

Sups guys!

well what they said.

get it checked out. if there jsut a radio and shit missing don;t put a claim in.

if it got torched put claim in.

did the cops give you an idea on how much damage.

is it drivable?

so my thoughts would be more than 2.5 K damage put in claim.

remember cops will charge tow fee and shit as well.

why the amount over the excess, well your premium will go up for a few years.

I made mistake when my car got pinched and stereo stolen to claim as it was only a few hundred over my excess thinking anything better than nothing, then premiums up for next few years and I ended up paying much more.

when you get access to view?

Cop just said it looks alright from the outside but this was before daylight was out. From what she could see from standing outside i assume is that the ignition barrel is damaged...

I have to wait until the cops call me when they're done with finger printing. Anyone know how long it'll take?

When i reported it missing, the cop asked if i wanted them to tow it if they find it. They said that they cover the towing cost..... oh man, hope it doesn't cost.

Muhahaha I purchased rating one protection (extra $40 a year or something pitiful) when I signed up for comp insurance. Made a claim and my premium was cheaper the following year!

Think it was a loophole / f**k up...I should have started at a low rating, but purchasing the protection automatically gave me a rating one lol.

this was oh 15-16 years ago, the whole rating 1 for life and stuff not around then.

end result I got shafted.

Also only time I paid an excess.

glad I had comp on dailies tho as been hit multiple times by un insured drivers writing off cars and never had to worry.

Saw an old 80s sports bike with "turbo" written on it at the lights the other day. Upon further research, it appears to have been a Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo. Turns out the big four each had a shot at factory turbocharging their bikes in the 80s. Does the quarter mile in ~11 flat, not bad for the day...

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
