Happy birthday Ant

Hey Matt what time you be home Friday arvo, need to come collect the detailing gear as race car needs a good polish

Hope the pads can handle alloy panels

cheers mate, not sure if i remebered to tell you about my party? if not let me know if your free sat arvo and want a couple of beers in hamilton...

ok got the job, now time to think of a daily,

postie bike, 125 cbr, 250 cbr or ninja 250?

prices are 1400, 2k, 3.5k, 3.5k

distance is 4kms.

nice work mate,

i reckon go something abit faster, atleast then while you sell you car and wait for the right one to pop up, you can come on cruises not in the tiida haha..

also is a 125cbr what bellamy had?... if so do not get one, do you remember how slow it was?

Ah that's a bit our of budget haha.

Think I'm going the ninja, not as quick as the Cbr but there only 2 years old for the same price as a 16 yeare old :)

ahhhh ok then.

you'll get bored with the power real quick but.

Ah that's a bit our of budget haha.

I just flicked my sis an email to get her opinion as she will know of plenty for sale as she has worked with bikes for nearly 10yrs :P

Ill let you know what she says buddy!

if you can ride a bicycle you can pass the course.

I can still f**k that up too :blink:

Anyway, here is the first part of the reply from Bec -

Ok... tell him to bypass the 125 option... they are terrible. lol

Easiest options are the Ninja 250 (which should be going cheap now as theyve released a superceded 300 version now)

or a new CBR250R ... (not the old CBR250RR)!

Failing those options I would also look at the VTR250 (naked) or if he wanted to go for a bigger learner legal bike go for a Suzuki 650 (SV or GSXF) .. again (NOT a GS500...they're sheeeet)

Lemme see if I can find any good buys..

You would want to spend at leask 3k to get a decent bike that hasn't been neglected... tell him to look for a bike with low kms i.e- up to 25000kms max!!

:laugh:

Here is part 2 to the email -

I'm assuming he saw the price of the CBR125's... if he's strapped for cash then they are a viable option but just remind him he will get sick of it quicker then a bigger bike and probably have to buy another bike even sooner than he would if he bought a 250 or bigger..

As you can see most decent learner bikes are around 3k neg. (but it's better than spending another $1-2k on repairs & tyres etc which usually happens with the smaller engines as they work harder than the big bikes & learners have no idea how to maintain shit!)

Tell him gumtree is probably the best (cheap) option for finding bikes

I just had a look at bikes sales & found these ones... but there will be heaps more out there..

All of these bikes share the same engine >> (ZZR250/ GPX250 & NINJA250)<<.. this one is a baby at 16000kms...

This one has more kms but Hondas are reliable & this one has been looked after...

He probably thinks this one looks gayyy but again it's well looked after & reliable as hell...

The list goes on..

Haha why don't you have a bike now Matt??

Thanks dude I'll read them after work! For a newish ninja I'd probably need 3.5k I'm thinking.

I think I'll get my license and start looking real soon.

It'll push the garage and gtr back but atheist I'll have a sick reliable daily :)

Your sister is good with bikes :)

So what's the differenc e between those Kawasakis and the a ninja? I've always loved the green ninjas and would probably spend the extra money if a ninja had better handling and what not to go with the looks. I mean, you hear off everyone you don't lose on bikes

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
