hey guys,

so its that time of the year again when i can take the scooter for a ride without having to come home and defrost my hands in the oven.

its nothing spech ( honda today, 50cc's of extreme performance) but still runs like a dream but the outside has coped abit of abuse over the years( stacked it doin a mono, rode through bushes etc) and is in need of a paint job.

so far options are: CAMO (GREEN/ BROWN/ DARKGREEN)

KEN BLOCK/MONSTA LOOK ( MATT BLACK/ FLURO GREEN WITH STICKERS)

GULF RACING( SKY BLUE WITH ORANGE STRIPE AND NUMBER AT THE FRONT AND

SIDES)

just to give an idea of the gulf look iv done a prototype if you can call it that.

im leaning towards the gulf racing theme due to its bright colours as im more likey to end up under a car at night with the thing painted black. but im finding it hard to find the racing muber and white circle stickers. so if ne1s in the know send me a pm.

so feel free to throw sum ideas pretty much open to nething.

cheers lol.

Don't really like scooters at the best of times, at least if you paint it camouflage, if you see a hot chick you can ditch it in the bushes and tell her you ride a motorbike :D . When she hears the noise she'll think its a whipper snipper. Seriously; Matt black- it needs all the attitude it can get.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
