Hey guys,

I have a fairly stock 97 r33 coming in a month. The plan was to do some minor mods (fmic, ebc, 18” magz, dump pipe) already has cat back and some A/m suspension. This is the thing, recently I have been thinking about taking the cash allocated for the mods and buying a 250 motorbike instead and getting my bike licence. So instead of a car how I want it I would have a stockish car but also have a bike to ride around on.

What are your thoughts? What would you do?

Either way, you will be happy. I think get the bike - you will appreciate your Skyline more, especially when you get caught in the rain on the bike.

What type of bike were you thinking of?? On your L's now you can get up to 650cc as long as the power to weight ratio isn't too radical. Maybe get a cheaper bike to begin on, then you still have some cash for the car.

Yep, same situation. Was gonna get a bike, then decided totally against it after hearing about other bike owners run ins with drivers who 'didn't see them'. So i saved all of my money towards the skyline. There is not a lot of room for error on a streetbike, not matter how good the rider is, you can't take into condsideration other road users stupidity.

having owned a bike - I would say go the mods on the car - no point splitting your money between two points and ending up compromising both....

you get both responsible and irresponsible people in cars AND on bikes, so why go spouting crap about either? just do your best to avoid them......

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
