Yeah sporty looking as in not like a vespa or big wheeled postie bike!

Yeah looking around i will have to go 50cc unless i do a test...

At this stage its just an idea, but it means i have more to sepdn on the gtr :)

If your still looking for scooters, I can recommend Aprilia. I had a early 2000's SR50 Ditech, fuel & oil injected, water cooled, front & rear disc brakes, fat 13" wheels and handled really good. Standard they would only do 50-60 max, but derestrict them and just by changing the rollers with a bit of playing round they would do 80km/h easy. Different roller weights would give you better top end at a price of sacrifycing bottom end. Im a big bloke and managed to ride in a 80 km/h zone easily. I did this for well over 30,000km (daily commuting to work 55km round trip) without rebuilding the motor, (I was told by many ppl that it would need a rebuild after 20k)!! yeah right!!! :laugh: .

It was cheap transport as well 50km/l of fuel, and approx 1.2l oil tank would easily last 3000km for oil that cost under $20 a bottle.

Good fun too, so much so my mate brought one as well and we used to go cruising on the weekend. You can see on the aprilia site they also do 125cc, and a bad point now is the 50cc motors are different now to what it used to be carby vs fuel injected, and I beleive they are a different motor as well.

In SA you only needed a car licence for a 50cc scooter. :thumbsup:

Aprilia are known for shitting cranks, You may have had a good run I have replaced 5 cranks for people in these bikes. There was a few engines in these scooters

The morini was crap the mineralli engine was alot better. You may have had the mineralli one as most of the morni ones are on there 3rd crank

Roller weights too light no top speed, to heavy slow speed

just right fast acceleration as well as the same top speed.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
