Yeah, in such a small vehicle, you've got zero road presence, and many drivers don't watch out for you.

I was looking at buying a peugot scooter before I got the line, but when I took one for a test drive and was nearly run over by a 4WD, I decided I needed something bigger ;)

i find it hard to believe they wouldnt have seen you jason.... :cheers:

It was exactly $2400..... or .... $600 more than my hand bag... humm.....

Yeah im already dealing with arseholes on the road... THey do see me.. because they make a pathetic attempt of overtaking me. Just a note to cars... they skim past me with about 1/2 a meter between the bike and their car, the speed they pass at just about pushes me off the scooter... Anyone overtaking a scooter please give them plenty of room. Its hard though fighting with the wind, than having to deal with unpaitent road rage morons! Maby i should get some weapons installed... Paint spray can as they go by?? would have a nice effect on the side of the car! or a screwdriver.. nice scratch!

but... yesterday a guy at work told me he wouldnt ever buy a moterbike because hes friend was in a serious accident while on his bike..... but... if your friend was in a serious accident corssing the road... would you never cross the road again?

Jason, I was actually going to get a peugot ludix, but it was $3000. I was going to save up and get one in a few months, but because of what happened with troys car... I figured i had better things to spend that extra bit on. Just changing the locks on the house cost us $300, which we get back from our content insurance but that will take them 3 weeks to process!

Kyles - watch out for Perth drivers. I've been riding a motorbike for over 5 years now and I still nearly get run over at least once each time I'm out.. Perth drivers are inconsiderate and stupid/blind.. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of room to get some road "presence" and make sure you keep a close eye out for the traffic and you should be fine.

*cough* Yokel lanesplitter!

 

:D:)

*cough* perth driver *cough*

Nah - not while lanesplitting. Funny thing was, that during peak hour traffic I always found it was safer to split as people would always try to take up my spot in the lane *ignoring* the fact that I was there.

Farkin Perth drivers suck....

Scooters Rock.

I have a Beta Eikon - with an exhaust and Malossi MHR Brake Pads.

Does 90 on the flat - and the most wicked stoppies.

Have an uprated variator and clutch going in Weds.

We should have a scooter cruise...

what you need that for jash???

Belt around home on it. Handy for picking up takeaway. Also good for taking to town - free and easy parking. Plus its hilarious. Particularly when you pull stoppies at traffic lights.

and most importantly, try to anticipate what the other drivers are going to do. Can save a lot of trouble and skin. Unfortunately some of them don't even know themselves what they are going to do.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
