And makes me scared for you, birds, and the other dude when you overtake all the cars around corners like that. I dunno if it's the go pro, but fk I'd be too scared

You get caught up in the moment and stop thinking about safety, follow adrenaline and obey instincts etc. That's the main thrill of riding a bike, pushing the limits and getting out of it alive. 99.9% of the time you'll be right when making those decisions, it's the .1 that will get you one day. Very easy and quick to overtake on a bike though. The biggest mistake I make is too much corner entry speed after overtaking and then I have to slam on the brakes or I end up overshooting the corner. FYI that was a pretty cruisy ride through the spur, we weren't going that quick compared to some of the other riders up there and the gopro does make it look slower. I feel so safe when I get back in a car hahaha.

Yeh well after we Learnt at sandown, I have a bad habit of overshooting corners. So I think a bike is probably going to go on the list when I'm ready to die

fkn losers

Brings me back to an argument I had with NS in the fitment thread, and I told them they are better off running 195 30 16 on a 18x10"

Close enough. I win

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
    • For anyone who might be put off by the slightly wacky wheel offset shown on the box photo above, the production models are not like that. Here's some more pics of the actual product (as well as the interior)
