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 ;)

i find it hard to believe they wouldnt have seen you jason.... :cheers:

It was exactly $2400..... or .... $600 more than my hand bag... humm.....

Yeah im already dealing with arseholes on the road... THey do see me.. because they make a pathetic attempt of overtaking me. Just a note to cars... they skim past me with about 1/2 a meter between the bike and their car, the speed they pass at just about pushes me off the scooter... Anyone overtaking a scooter please give them plenty of room. Its hard though fighting with the wind, than having to deal with unpaitent road rage morons! Maby i should get some weapons installed... Paint spray can as they go by?? would have a nice effect on the side of the car! or a screwdriver.. nice scratch!

but... yesterday a guy at work told me he wouldnt ever buy a moterbike because hes friend was in a serious accident while on his bike..... but... if your friend was in a serious accident corssing the road... would you never cross the road again?

Jason, I was actually going to get a peugot ludix, but it was $3000. I was going to save up and get one in a few months, but because of what happened with troys car... I figured i had better things to spend that extra bit on. Just changing the locks on the house cost us $300, which we get back from our content insurance but that will take them 3 weeks to process!

thats what paul n i do to pushbikes in peakhour traffic :P So annoying ..... least scooters and motorbikes and keep up the pace and are meant to be on the road!

Kyles - watch out for Perth drivers. I've been riding a motorbike for over 5 years now and I still nearly get run over at least once each time I'm out.. Perth drivers are inconsiderate and stupid/blind.. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of room to get some road "presence" and make sure you keep a close eye out for the traffic and you should be fine.

*cough* Yokel lanesplitter!

 

:D:)

*cough* perth driver *cough*

Nah - not while lanesplitting. Funny thing was, that during peak hour traffic I always found it was safer to split as people would always try to take up my spot in the lane *ignoring* the fact that I was there.

Farkin Perth drivers suck....

Scooters Rock.

I have a Beta Eikon - with an exhaust and Malossi MHR Brake Pads.

Does 90 on the flat - and the most wicked stoppies.

Have an uprated variator and clutch going in Weds.

We should have a scooter cruise...

Jash

Jash, should i take it to you to get mods?

I enquired about getting neons today. im doing it!!! Getting 2 each side inside the frount wheel gard, and 2 on the back wheel gard .. red... Ill have a switch at the frount. The guy at car sterio city even thinks he could install a sterio on it! ill do that when the scooter becomes a toy and just for leasurly drives in summer.

Ive also decided to get the wheels chromed. But dont know who does that.. anyone know?

what you need that for jash???

Belt around home on it. Handy for picking up takeaway. Also good for taking to town - free and easy parking. Plus its hilarious. Particularly when you pull stoppies at traffic lights.

and most importantly, try to anticipate what the other drivers are going to do. Can save a lot of trouble and skin. Unfortunately some of them don't even know themselves what they are going to do.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
