I went to savedirect today... saw some of their goods. This guy was riding a yellow pocket bike and full speed up and down the street, looked mad. He told me the one he was riding costs $800, 49cc Air cooled, Key ignition, Max speed of 60kmph.

What do you guys thik of em?? Reliable?? or a total waste of money?

save direct dont have the best quality bikes.

I just picket this up yesterday ;)

Which is the new 4 stroke 70cc ones

But i got it for a better price than that advertised.

This thing hauls ass and is alot bigger than the 49cc mini bikes you can get. The speedo reads to 60MPH and riding around my court and nearby park i had it to around 45MPH (72km/h) at the start of 4th, but wasnet going flat out coz for the first few tanks of fuel you need to run the engine in!!!

With the 4 speed semi automatic (clutchless) you can shift at full throttle and it will pop the front wheels in the air in every gear change.

Will get pics of it tonight.

damn that looks nice... but i heard that anything bigger than 49cc needs to be registered or you need a license??

What the deal with your one?

Mate if you know me you would know i dont care about little details like that ;)

It looks like the biggest 49cc bike and i only ride in in the park and on deserted roads.

Not yet but close, once nearly head butted a car turning into my court and another one hit a pot hole on a foot path in the park at about 70 km/h and went off on the grass but stayed on the bike, luckly it has hydraulic suspension otherwise it would have ended in tears!!!

is it more fun to drive than your skyline? :D

Na, it a total different type of experience!!

Since cops still think a bov has something to do with the exhaust then they are not going to know the difference between a 49cc and 70cc bike!!!

plus i know sfa about bike engines either!!

Finially got some pics of the bike last night after i changed the oil to some full synthetic 4 stroke oil!!

Rode around for about 3 hrs on sunday with 2 mates with 49cc mini bikes in local industrial estate with long straights and fast corners and even with my heavy carcus kicked their asses easily. Most times on the long straights i could pull around 15-20 bike lenghts on them, they would catch me a little in the corner coz my bike is double the weight of theirs and not as easy to turn, and the fact that i was going nearly double the speed of theirs into the corner before braking, and i was hitting speeds of near 85-90km/h down the main straights.

The 4 speed gearbox makes such a difference and the 70cc engine has so much more torque and top end than the 49cc ones, and 1 of the 49cc ones had a few modifications, and mine was 100% stock!!

I am looking at some modifications for mine but since the bike is new on the market most of the available parts for my engine are only in the USA. There is a supercharger kit for the 4 strokes available in aus which at 8psi gives 10hp power gain. That would make my bike total about 14KW and weigh with me on board around 135kg.

Word to the wise:

When someone crashes the bike your about to ride just before you venture out onto the track on it, remember to make sure the tank/seat/tail assembly is still firmly attached to the frame of the bike.

I low-sided BADLY last night with the throttle pinned wide open coming out of a fast right hander onto the back straight at my local go-kart track. Tank/seat/tail assembly fell clean off and me with it!

My knee and elbow hurt real bad!! :)

Fark it was fun though!!

I have already come off once on sunday in the industrial estate trying to take a left hander to fast and with the back wheel locked trying to slide through the corner, and only scraped the right hand side fairing a bit and added a small crack to it also. I only got a slight scratched elbow. 1 of my friends on the 49cc mini bike tried to pop a mono and ended up flipping the bike and scraping the whole back of his bike and denting the exhaust muffler and having bleeding elbows and knees for his effort!!

Of course we stood there laughing at him for about 5 mins before we went to see if he was ok :)

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
