I have Just 2quick question to anyone who knows.

What sort of motorbike would give a standard turboed GTR a good run? I know nothing about bikes

I had a run against this 750cc and got beaten- by a lot!(got him off the line-but maybe he wasnt trying) the only reason I had a go was because his number plate was 'idiot'

the other question is what does the standard boost gauge go too? Mine seems to go all the way to +7(1Bar??), and I have everything standard, including exhaust and still have the restrictor. maybe the gauge is innacurate?? Is this common?

Hhehehe

Yesterday monring a GSX-R lined up against me! i though oh no NO HOPE IN HELL!

He was playing with me at the start...then he just pulled full throttle and did a nice wheelie and well... He was gone into the distance lol!

Pulled up behind him at the next lights, didnt want to line up agianst him again and he gave me a thumbs up lol :)

1000CC's of grunt!...i read trhe new yamaha R1 weighs 164kg or somfin and has 170HP! Now thats a machine

My mates 11sec gemini has had a few close races with them until top end, then the bikes just pull.

And +7, would that not be psi?  So that would be about 0.5bar.

I dont think it is PSI, I think the +7 corresponds to 1Bar (from memory, looking at other posts) although Im not 100% sure. I guess im questioning the realiability of these gauges or whether some stock GTR's just run more boost??

I havent really got anything to compare my car to as the only other GTR I have been in is Leewahs..eh and that feels like the gravitron at Luna Park!

Any sports bike 600cc and up will kill virtually any car on the road. And for the rare car where the owner has more money than sense sunk into his pride and joy, well a bike can just lose him in the traffic by lane splitting. I have yet to see a car that can beat my bike. I'm not saying that they don't exist, it's just that they are so rare that I've never seen one in over 3 years of riding. And even if I do eventually see one, he's still going to be stuck behind other cars as I lane split on up the road :)

Oh, note I said "sports bike" above. Harleys are usually 1000-1500cc, and yet they are absolute slugs. You could beat one in a V8 Commodore in both 0-100 and in top speed. So even if you have a mild GTS-t, give a Harley a go and you will probably win. They are also too fat to lane split through traffic :)

I see that bike all the time.. from memory along queens road, & nepean hwy. Well, my car's not stock and pushing 270rwkw, I ran an R1, beat him off the line by a car length & we were neck and neck up to 120~ then I hit the brakes, coz he would have left me like a salami sandwhich.

The thing I've learnt, unless you got real top end don't bother pushing past 100~, Bike's lack the traction off the line, so you always beat em on that, hitting the brakes when you hit 100, just add's salt to their wounds.

I got a few vids of turbo busa, and other turbo race bikes and they pop the front wheel up at over 300km/h.

I one time i tried dragging my car ages ago i was neck to neck with him till about 100 and then i think he realised i was racing him so he dropped 1 gear down popped the front wheel in the air and disappeared into the distance before i could pull another gear.

i ride bikes and apart from dificulty's off line due to power (im only on a 400 so i dont experience this) i find it hard to beleive that you stay with bike up to 100 as most of the bikes these days including my own have a 1st gear that goes to 100 and unless you guys are in super cars =p you got no chance agains the litre bikes... untill you become professional race drivers and we hit some corners

hey marchGTR - South Road Moorabbin (Chesterville Rd intersection) - 6:30ish last night :O

I didnt think you were racing at first ;) Its a rare occasion that anyone besides another bike wants a race, so thankyou for making my ride home from work a little more interesting. Nice looking GTR by the way.

Ran my pretty stock R33 GTSt against a mates mod'd 1200 Bandit for fun.

Needless to say he owned me and pulled wheelies in 2nd, 3rd and 4th to prove his point!

His bike and rider = ~200kg, with a dyno proven 178 rwhp. Approx. 900hp / t

That in skyline terms is about 1200hp + (but at least you have 2 or 4 wheel to put power to the ground)

For the record, and those that are interested. The bike is a Kawasaki ZXR750 (H1) 1989 model. 4 cylinder - 4 stroke 750cc - The bike is totally stock standard. Even the exhaust is factory. It produces about 107.00hp or 78.1kW @ 10500. Weight of the bike wet is 231KG + me at about 95KG. Top speed with me on it is 250kph.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
