G'Day guys,

Looking to get an R32 which I will drive on the road, but would like to slowly build it up for track days also. Due to current outlays, the only way I can do this is to swap my 2004 R1. Its an awesome bike, very well maintained and with some unique carbon fibre bits.

All info here.

Any questions welcome.

Cheers

keep the r1..

Ha, yes I do feel that when I ride it for sure!! I love this thing, but just dont use it anymore. I have never tracked it, but from having used to race sports sedans in QLD, I have the itch again and Superlap looks like a cool thing. So a change would be good for something I could thrash a bit, my Mercedes is awesome too, but cant imagine fanging around a track in it!! :D

Love the R1 mate! I've got a big HP R33 and also a R1 and I must say the R1 gives me more of a thrill than the Skyline.. Will have to be a serious R32 to out do your R1! Good luck with the sale :)

if your planning on building a car for superlap... then why cant you still hang on to the r1?? as far as superlap cars go... $11000 is small change. one day, maybe a year or so from now, you'll want to take it out for a fang, and there it will be, in its capsule type cover, just waiting.. its not worth selling unless you really have to.. im guessing youve spent close to what you want for it on the parts alone.

people pay more for art, that just hangs on the wall and does sweet f/a, that thing is both art, and exciting

id pay $11000 just to have it in the garage, sitting on pit stands.

Problem is I have too much stuff! Due to starting a family I went out and have just bought a 2005 3.0 R Spec B Liberty Wagon. Its an awesome car, but I am now stretched out to pay it off. I also have a 1967 300SEL with a RB30 Turbo motor in it. Great fun, cool as car, but of course it soaks the cash as well!! So the only way I can play with a new toy (like a superlap car) is to exchange my bike to do it. Whether I sell it or trade it for something doesnt matter. So now I have my partners old car to sell, and my R1. $11,000 you say? Id take that for sure.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By Trinicandian · Posted

      Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.

      So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
