You're northern suburbs right? We'll head up Mountain Highway one day/night, it's about 10 mins from me and I'm 30 from the CBD, you'll love it, trust me.

No idea where that is will need to google map it. I'm sure it's fun for you you'll just leave us noobs behind -.-

Haha nah mate, I can ride fast in my own time, riders look after each other, it'll be very nice and easy for you if we go up there.

FWIW, 250s tend to do better on these tight curves, being lighter.

My mate said the same thing when we rode to Yea... Caught up to him after he'd been stopped for ~10 minutes...

As for 250's being quicker due to lightness, unlikely.. Unless it's am experienced rider on the 250 and a noob on the big bike... I was topping out at 150 on the straights while they did 150 through the bends..

Bigger tires, bigger brakes, more power etc etc

This ain't Yea though, you can't go any faster than 30-40km/h through a lot of these corners - there are some serious hairpins and the bigger bikes are hard to pull around them at any decent speed. The lightness of a 250 allows a tighter turning circle and you don't have to put as much leverage on the bike to get it turning sharp. Obviously rider skill plays more of a part in being faster, I'm just saying that his bike won't be holding him back around the curves.

Will try and get some GoPro footage of me doing a run up there, I've been meaning to for a while.

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
