Dont know why you want one......

They are expensive for what you get BUT They are the only thing good for postie style work. ( i spent about a year delivering junk mail on one)

Nothing else can do it like a ct110

If you want it for riding to and from places, there are many cheaper better bikes.

they were untill China

Yes they are sooo crappy, they are supposed to be cheap as chips, but we only import and comply them for Auspost.

So there is a limited number in aus, and the demand for junkmail delivery pushes the price up.

Farmers get them, but these are uncomplianced. And usually the ag version.

There is a new one out now, i dont know if its improved. The maintenance on the old ones is constant, as they are under engineered.

But for mail delivery you HAVE to have the double gear lever and auto clutch.

Yes, I need it for delivering mail.

I have just started my own Real Estate Company http://www.matesratesrealestateaustralia.com.au/

and I am doing a stack of direct marketing but doing it on foot is taking forever.

So I need a bike to do it on as it will be ongoing.

I had a look on ebay, allclassifides, gumtree etc, but there is nothing local.

Surely there are some around here as they are traded by aus post at about 25,000ks.

Shame I didn't see it earlier, selling one of my houses currently.

Would have loved your currently selling house, if it was in a better location.

Oh well. There is always another around the corner.

Shameless plug... How are you going with your current agent?

I only charge $5500 and do quality advertising like this: and drive a hot skyrine

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
