I can't lay-by a car :( Rest assured though that once my probation at work is over I'd like to get another decent vehicle. I'm currently undecided whether to get another nice car, or to just get a decent car and upgrade my bike :)

all depends on what you wanna spend and what you wanna get?

Dunno yet, don't really want to let the cat out of the bag but don't want an econo-box. As far as a bike goes, if I was going to upgrade to something a little newer than what I have, I'd probably go to a current GSXR1000. I like them, a lot.

*wipes saliva off bench* get the bike! there is nothing to think about! get the bike! GSXR1000 are a very hot bike! also, unbelievably quick. apparently they have gone down in price too lately. if you test ride the bike before the car, you wont get the car. CAR -> :( <- Bike

Heh yeah I know, I'm avoiding taking one for a test ride because I know I'll be offering body parts to buy one. It's amazing how far bike development goes in a few short years... high 9's out of the box, handling that would have put it at the front of Superbike grids not so long ago, and brakes that don't fade after repeatedly slowing from speeds on the silly side of 200km/h - all things that make a huge difference at a trackday.

The last Gixxer Thou I rode had 191rwhp according to the owner, and fark me it felt like it. It'd lift the wheel off the throttle in third at silly speeds, and the speedo climbed so fast... it was terrifying but I couldn't stop cracking the throttle :(

Then I got back on my stock Fireblade and, don't get me wrong, it's still damn quick, but it just felt very ordinary after the heavily modded Gixxer.

Bikers are tempoary citizens.
I used to work in a hospital. I wish I was paid for every time I heard that saying... but I'm still here aren't I? lol
Cars FTW. More comfortable, certainly fast enough for my needs, more useful, and where do you put your GF on the bike, eh?
She gets on the back, of course :ninja:

I'll let you know how impractical a bike is next time I pass you in a traffic jam :( If you've never ridden a bike you won't understand the appeal - it's not just about how fast they are or how far you can lean over... it's just a totally different experience. I enjoy my cars just as much as my bikes. Oh, and you can find a park just about anywhere.

Mark, why does your profile say you drive a GTS25T?
Because I do. It's not mine, but Karen lets me drive it from time to time :)
hey mike, that... thing from your avatar... I remember seeing her on the news before, but cant remember what for?

Can you provide more info?

:( my what now? which avatar? i get bored and change them often?

I like bikes but they just don't seem to pull up quick enough with me on them..... go figure?

*uncontrollable rofl'ing*

I can't buy anything for at least another 5 months lol

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
