hi guys,

this is impressive - an r35gtr with an exhaust & retune is quicker than a current spec Gsxr1000.

I used to race bikes & I can see that the rider knows how to ride so he is really pushing his bike:

I find this incredible as the bike has 1:1 power to weight ratio - all the more kudo's to the mighty r35gtr!!!

Enjoy :)

Why did you PM me about this thread? Who are you and why did you think I would care???

Please don't spam me crap again....

Edited by Kujotk

Further to this, the reason I emailed u is because it seemed fitting knowing that u refer to racing bikes in another thread.

Anyway, this is quite sad but I will apologise and makes me think twice before I pm anyone for that matter.

Rather than display your feelings on a public thread - u should have responded via email but we are not all the same.

So i dont often comment in threads like this, but FYI...

Last SAU QLD drag day at willowbank near Brisbane I took out my 08 R1 and we paired it against a modified S3 R35...

From the launch the GTR grabbed a good 3 car lengths by the time id fully released the clutch, not supprising considering launch control etc...

I pulled in the GTR rapidly once we had past 100kph and onward to 200kph he was well and truely behind...

I ran 10.17

He ran 10.90

and i hit a bird just near the finish line, which destroyed my helmet... had to wait for my wife to come with my spare so i could ride home...

at the end of the day it would take quite a few $$$ worth of mods to take down a stock litre bike...

apply 20% of that amount of money spent to the litre bike and you wont stand a chance in a straight line...

Hitting a bird could have been dangerous...did u smash your visor?

Thanks for sharing your run on here, the great thing about bikes is that it is cheap fun and to mechanically break or damage a bike is next to impossible, whereas the headaches associated with a modified car can become unreliable and expensive.

On the flip side, u can easily break yourself on a bike which is why i stopped riding a few yrs BUT ive kept running gear just in case :)

Hitting a bird could have been dangerous...did u smash your visor?

I saw it incoming, knew we were going to hit and i just tucked my head right in...

It was a small minor bird, but i hit it at about 140mph so it was like getting hit in the helmet with a hammer...

I tucked right in looking at the fuel cap and gritted my teeth... BANG... cracked the top of the helmet wide open, huge split in the outter casing and I dont mind saying it hurt quite a bit actually... I had a headache about 20 minutes after the accident... Lucky to keep it up right, it was a bigger hit than most would expect...

That sounds like a very close call.

I knew of u rider about 10yrs that was speeding on an open road and actually Rode thru the stomach of a cow...I know it sounds disgusting but the poor rider slipped into a coma after this. The cow was crossing the road at the time hence the near fatal collision.

Just be very careful on your bike as anything can happen in a split second and almost no room for error.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
