You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Picked up new turbo...and so begins my quest for teh power and teh E-flex. Question...install myself or pay OTR $250 to do it? Seems like an easy job but I always run into trouble and woudn't mind playing COD while someone else sweats over my engine bay.

If I'm gonna settle for something in the middle I'd just go back to the 250 ninja and learn on that, upgrade to gixxer after 6-9 months

I've sat on my mates 250 Ninja, more upright position like yours than the real deal Ninja and other supersports..

There's a nice Ninja at my work every now and then, green which isn't my style but a tough looking bike..

I'm leaning towards an all black 2009 gixxer though, not a fan of the newer gixxers, something about the front just doesn't do it for me...

Just man up and get the gixxer, I kinda wish I did now but still happy with my bike. As long as you survive first few months should be fine.

Get the manifold taken off, and change the studs whilst it's being done.

Will cost more, but likely you already have at least one crook stud in there :D

Yep good advice this, I already have new studs and genuine gaskets ready to go on at the same time. One of the nuts already free spins from memory :(

Enjoy getting any broken ones out. I had 8 in total broken. Gotten 7 of them (one is being a tight as f**k c***)

Tried drilling pilot, them 5mm drill to left hand thread drill piece (easy out)

They all came out like that (easy)

This one won't really budge. Used shitloads of rust of ice, tried hitting it with oxy. No luck. :rant:

Keen to just throw it together with the one not on. (did it on old motor for same reason and lasted 3,000km (till motor blew) but thats not good enough. Want to do it properly.

There is my rant anyhow.

And ye - Thread Doctor - he is a "come to you" guy, does it on the spot.

Cheap as well which is awesome considering how much of a headfcuk of a job it is to do if you dont have the tools.

Even most workshops just call him lol

Got new sway bar links cos one of them was clean snapped, spent 1hr trying to fit just one side to the hardest setting on my sway bar with no luck... Surely there is an easier way? Anyone know any tricks? Used the trolley jack pole to move the sway bar and still nothing....

Sway bar links are whiteline, incase anyone was wondering

Likelihood of getting pulled over though? (When not riding like a Flynn)

You will get done for riding on a large bike while on your restrictions if:

1. By chance you are pulled over for a check perhaps for something else and they realise

2. They drive behind you, check the rego and note that the registered owner is not licensed to ride the bike. This can be avoided by getting someone else to register the bike in their name if you can convince them

3. You crash the bike. Insurance won't pay out if you're not licensed and I count that as 'doing yourself'

I've know multiple people who have been caught while riding on their restrictions or who have written off bikes while on them

i see.

put fake rego plates on and do a runner if you get pulled over :whistling:

but you'll most likely crash it since your still learning on it...

Lol exactly, I found the time on my 250 was priceless... Although I think I was a special case. Getting your knee down on the Black Spur on a 250 that is the sloppiest bike in the world isn't what most learners will be doing.

I'd recommend just dealing with a less powerful bike for max 15 months. It will do great things for your skills and you don't have to look over your shoulder. Once you're off them it's like it never happened.

can't you weld a nut on it and go from there ? then again if easy out didn't work i don't think anything will

Havn't done much welding and the studs 'tend' to snap approx 2 threads INTO the head so I don't know how u would go welding onto them with minimal space and surface area.

Ended up getting the last one so all good. :banana:

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By silviaz · Posted

      That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️

      Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
