Are you friends with Jenny?

 

Shes a mate of a mates. Also the cop we know that attended the scene said his insides where no longer inside 

 

 

 

 

Nah, think I've met her before though through an ex

Yeah with no safety gear to hold it together the body is pretty fragile like that

But like the twit who stole mine, guessing he was doing speeds that even gear won't save you from

when I stacked the 33 the towie was telling me he was first on scene to that NYE motorbike crash in StKilda in the mid 00's

the guy came off at an estimated 160kph and hit a wooden telegraph pole, ripped him in half. apparently his hip bone was on the road

Don't tell me all these things.. I was wanting another road bike soon :P

Seems a lot of these accidents are caused by the rider though.. whether it be showing off or stupidity, inexperience etc. 

I'm sure there's still a good amount of deaths caused by car drivers too I guess. "Cagers" as we call them
I would never commute again to work on a bike, way too many close calls if heading to the city.

Saw that the other day.. insanely lucky i'd be buying some lotto tickets 

Would like to see what he was doing before the wobble, looks like a bit of inexperience to fall off a bike in a straight line.. I dunno maybe he had some weird gust of wind that caused the wobbles. Anyway lucky to be alive!

Never ridden one, I reckon they're a bit unsafe.

1. Low so cars less chance of seeing you in mirror, cant see over cars to look at traffic hazards ahead

2. Slow 125cc engine cant get out of bad situations 

3. Cheap shitty tyres and suspension components 

On the bright side, cheap rego and cheap on fuel

125cc? You might as well just buy a scooter.
But you don't look as cool...

Spending this weekend camping riding trail bikes (not powerful or loud ones) on private property. Will report back if I become addicted to bikes.

pro trail bike tip : stand up on pegs

the good thing about the groms is there's a lot of big bore kits you can get for them, and teaches you how to play with in-expensive simple engines

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
