I got me a scooter :(

So ... what can we do to it??

Nos?

Change the exaust??

Neons?? (actually considering it hahahaha)

anyways, its a red Vmoto Milan.. very funky! I got it up to about 70km an hour today. Feels like your going alot faster though. Should beable to get it up to about 80km/hr. My new baby is tucked away nice and safe inside the house at night.

watch those things tho. My bro got one, brand new, and the engine died after two weeks. It might not be under warranty too because somewhere in the fine print it says that for the first 1000k's you cant do more than 50km hr and it needs a service @ 300km. If you just bought it new i wouldnt go 70 in it

theres a more blokey version costs about $400 on the road.

and to get it up to 110, u can get the pistons bored out and the cat drilled. Guy at work has had it done to one.

mmm not bad. problem is strapping a stock r33 turbo would be like strapping a t88 to a suzuki cupachino. :burnout:

Yeah ive read the small print, not allowed to full throtle before first service... but.. ahh.. new toy.. put it this way... u just get the keys to ur new skyline... "you cant go over 80".. of course you dont do that for the first few days. Ill behave myself! Today driving it i stayed about 50-55. Wont be long untill ive done 400km for first service though, already up to 180.

Might be a bit awkward in a couple of months time

hopefully i'll have some wheels by then. so kyles will get the car and i'll have to take the scooter to the choochoo station. seeing i only work 2 days shifts each week it works out fine.

oh and i mean the blokey version was an extra $400 on the road compared to kyles one, my bad.

Because of winter?

Well.. i figure .. each winter, we get less and less rain. And when it poors down, its only for 10 or so min..

I rode today in the rain. Was fine. Came home nice and dry. The bike wasnt much different either. Just had to be a bit more carefull :cheers:

Yeah.

Just watch out for cars, they tend not to see bikes or just don't care

Yeah, in such a small vehicle, you've got zero road presence, and many drivers don't watch out for you.

I was looking at buying a peugot scooter before I got the line, but when I took one for a test drive and was nearly run over by a 4WD, I decided I needed something bigger :cheers:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
