(V35 owners only)

Thought this would be a good discussion on any new technology or tech-related things (cameras, phones, in car entertainment etc) people will/have bought...Just to have something else to read apart from all the V35 talk. Oh and a picture of what we are talking about would be better

Ill start, i just bought a new camera, its a Sony DSLR-A350x Twin lens Kit (on my 'L' plates)..its a mean little thing with a mighty punch!!...The main reason i bought it was because of its amazing 'live view' with a tilting 2.7inch screen, it's easy to use for a beginner and, ok this might sound a little stupid but its a Sony and they have never gone wrong on me...ok ok i agree Nikon,Olympus,Canon etc ONLY make camera's and because of that they have huge amounts of lenses available (cannon and Nikon that is)..but Sony has taken over Konica Minolta, so there are quite a few of them around aswell...one of the main reasons is that the image stabilisation is in the body, so no matter how old the lens is i will always have the VDC on :P .

Thanks, and cant wait to use it for the v35 community.

good idea man, although nothing to do with technology (maybe) but ive just bought a brand new toy. a close mate of mine came over and saw hes ducati 848 which he just bought for $28k so i figured id go and get a bike also. its a 09 honda cbr125r in melennium red. i havnt got my motorbike licence as yet but will soon. we are restricted over here under 250cc for first year. reason why i choose a 125cc over 250cc was it was much easier to ride and manoeuvre also its brand new so warranty/hassle of it breaking down was at ease. oh and the LOOK of it is soo PORN! it ressembles its big brother the cbr1000.

hehe iv seen them around before.... they remind me of a postie bike all dressed up particularly with the tyers being so skinny on them. Well on the + side it wont cost much to replace them, I'm going to have to get a new rear tyre on my Ninja ZX636 soon and its not going to be cheap!

Sucks about the 250cc limit, I was lucky and got my bike licence before they changed the rules. Back then as long as you have had an open car licence for 5 years or longer you could do a 2 day course and then get your R licence and go straight off to Suzuki and buy a Hybusa if you wanted no questions asked. I got a 636 because I knew I’d get bored with anything less and anything more powerful would be asking for trouble, particularly for my 1st bike. Although now I would not mind going for a R1 or a ZX12. From the 1st of July in QLD they have changed the rules so you can have up to 660cc as long as the bike doesn’t exceed 150kw per tonne, which i think is fair as a couple of my mates have v twin cruisers 650cc and 750cc and they go ok but nothing like a super sports bike

Tai,

There is a general section of the forums for these kinds of topics. The idea behind the V35 section was not to segregate the V35 community in all ways from the rest of the forums but to have a a place to discuss car related issues.

That being said there is already a general chat type thread in this section somewhere. Please use that for, well general chat :)

As such I'm closing this thread.

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
