Surprised someone hasn't created a motorbike with a long range tank on it for touring...something 50-60L etc.

Wouldn't that be an extra 60kg above the center of gravity?

If that bike gets laid down, there's no way the 65yo retirees who would own such a cruiser would be able to pick it up without a support crew.

Mount it low and improve the balance!

Saw a learner getting someone to help him get his 250 off the ground the other day. They really should teach learners how to do that by themselves at the course...

E85 used to be unquestionably worth the dollars even with same power levels, because it was cheaper or at least on par with 98 for running costs and the engine ran happier/safer on it

Now only really worth it if you have a substantial increase in power and midrange from it, which you now pay for with the higher cost

I usually switch to 98 in winter for easier starts and range

Do like a mid-drive refuel. Requires support vehicle.

went to winton last year, left with full tank and five jerry cans @ 22l each. Total of 175lt. i didn't participate in the last session coz i cooked the brakes and still had to stop just before i got home and top up to make sure i made it. I easily burn over 100l at sandown which is just down the road. On track, usage is close to 1km/l   #E85life #emptywallet #needunitedshares

I've put 98 in a few times just to purge/clean the fuel system and felt like punching myself in the nuts every time. Engine is so much smoother and lively on ethanol. i'd rather pay the premium but United are still price gouging kents.

A9X torana drop tank is what you need. That's additional to your standard tank :) Has the R finished being tuned yet?

A9X is my inspiration of course, why wouldn't you use it for a inspiration?

Tuner said it's close to being finished - need to do some cold starts he said.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
