Booked in at Craigs to get the transmission tuned to suit the new powahs.

From talking to a few different people, and the googles of course, not adjusting the transmission tune after power mods can be a sure-fire way to reduce transmission life.

As it only costs around $500 for the transmission retune it is a no brainer to have it tuned to suit.

Ah,  for the motorbike.

LOL, sorry, for the confusion

I have added all my vehicular Bogan news into this thread

The slammer kit drops the whole bike about 1.5" and firms up the suspension 

Plus the OEM stuff is shite, this is "apparently" a little better

Do you need an Asian to show you how to do a mad skid? I don't see the video of your skid in this thread 😂

Because posting random mad skids on the interwebs has never ended badly for said skidder.....

When I hit the drags I'll attempt to get one of the kids to take a vid

The transmission tune is all sorted

I think I want to put a gilmer rear drive on the back of the blower to make it even more whiney and annoying, speaking of annoying......

Funny story, I was waiting for the Mrs to pick up some takeaway, she overheard a couple outside the shop complaining to their friends about the noisy car in the carpark, she heard the friends say,"WTF, that thing sounds hot, not everyone wants a POS car like yours"

It's the little things that make you smile, and annoying people, I always smile when I annoy people

 

Sorry, no skid vids

Car drives great in traffic and loves the Hwy

Drove to Braidwood today, averaged about 9.5l/100km with cruise locked at 100 and 110

Sedate city driving is less fuel friendly at about 16l/100km

Car is wicked fun and fast on the roll

Finally installed the new suspension on the bike, lowered the bike about 1.5" each end

The compliance/performance is so much better than the stock suspension, comparing the new stuff to the stock, front was like a sponge, and the rear was like a pogo stick

Yes I have lost some lean angle, but I really rarely scrapped the pegs before anyway, plus I don't really dive into corners because Harley

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
