I'm a bit rough on the troops at times . irreverent , irascible , acerbic , dirty old man with out remorse . I do have my good side . I really do teach what I learn and try to have some humor about it . Problem is I also have no problem calling an inept time waster just that , a waste of time . Guess I'll have to work on that .

I have nearly 30 years experience working on all common makes of motorcycle and and somewhat less experience working on those I can't spell . I honestly don't have a brand preference and believe that anything less than that you ride being more important than what you ride is a posture for a--hats , imbeciles and docile media led lemmings of the American public .

I digress , as per usual . If I reach the edges of your tolerance please inform me , publicly if necessary . I'm far beyond the age where a bruised ego means anything more than your using my transgression to show the rank and file what is and isn't allowed as well as keep my arrogant self out of trouble long enough to be of some assistance .

Now if anyone has read this far could you please let waxer52 know he has and apology of sorts and a reply/link in his crank thread thread

I looked around and found some things of interest but doubt I'll be around much . I'll just say thanks to all of you that pack waxwe52's PM box :thanks:

WTF are you on about? Perhaps start from the start instead of mid-essay...

Last I checked You still read and write something akin to English in Australia .

Now if anyone has read this far could you please let waxer52 know he has and apology of sorts and a reply/link in his crank thread thread

I get the whole 10 posts before you can PM (spam) someone but do you rely want to have some crazy Yank around for any more posts than it takes to deliver the message and be gone ?

All someone had to do was pass the message .

Last I checked being American doesn't excuse you from making sense...or does it? How about using your 10 posts to write something cohesive. Even some random numbers would make more sense.

Can't pass you a message when you don't link it correctly...

So a member here , waxer52 posts extensive pics of two stroke engine carnage at another forum Piston Bore Damage . I didn't spot the post until a month later and commented in that thread but thought if no one had answered in a month he might have given up on us . We are to all forms of motorcycles , notably kawasaki's but others also what all of you are to Skylines . Enthusiasts . I was just attempting to pass on some lessons that were learned the hard way . I'm a little unusual in that I go the extra little bit to help someone . Not many would chase down the posts of a new member all over the web to get the information to them . I would . I'm about as far from a troll as you can get . I actually get the whole idea of collective knowledge and experience benefiting all that care to , well , care . the corrected link crank thread thread

the guy is genuinely trying to help waxer52... agreed, his description of goings on didnt make too much sense.

but he has tracked waxer52 accross forums looking for him to let him know he replied to a post on a motorcycle forum which presumably waxer52 doesnt visit often.

thumbs up yankee, thats dedication :rofl:

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
