Dan go into Bicycle Express in town just off Pulteny St speak to Benson, know him from way back and he races DH, he can sort you out!!

goto Adelaide Hills Cycles in Mt Barker, any day but a monday, and ask for Matt.

tell him Ted sent you, and hell look after you.

matt is a downhiller/bmxer/skater/all round awesome guy.

i also use to work at that shop.

Hey mate, I've got a Mongoose Black Diamond Double that has done very very little work. It's got all the good bits. SRAM, haynes nines, hussifelt cranks, headset, bars, chaid guide etc,etc. 8inches of travel from memory, easy to crank due to the suspension design. I'd only want around $2k for it. If you're interested in having a look give us a buzz on 0439685079

Here is a link to the 2007 model, mine is 2006 but has pretty much the same stuff

I may have missed something here so feel free to correct me but the new model is only $1999 RRP and cheaper again if you know someone.

Mine was selling for over $3750 at some places. That $2000 on the site is $US even with the exchange rate as good at it is, bikes seem to retail over here for 75-100% more again. Same with MX stuff.

I think it's a 2005 model, didn't realise I've had it that long, price drop $1750

review/specs HERE

Anyway I'm not hear to haggle, if anyone is interested please let me know, price is negotiable. It's a very well spec'd for it's rrp

Edited by Race__24

well i ended up with a norco good price for wat its got http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/downhi...vity/atomik.php

any one here ride an maybe wonna go hit up a hill soon. maybe in couple weeks wen i hopfuly fit enough again an pull my balls bak out of my draw

I might be up for a ride one day, nothing too serious. Like a trip up to Bennets or something. I'd only be able to manage a couple of runs these days, too unfit and it's a looooooooong walk back up. Belair runs might be a goer as well, catch the train back up. Never done it as yet.

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
