>>14012643

So, gonna discuss with brother in law this weekend about building our junk buggy, the rules look easy enough.

it usually gets a bit busier later in the evening

So I've got a few things I'm going to do at 260,000km on my shitbox
>Oil change, last one was at 250,000km
>Refurbish/replace rear differential
>A few bushings around the car
>Timing belt
>accessory belts
>All the fluids after I do timing belt, coolant, brake, power steering, front differential, transmission
>make a new rear exhaust section sometime after

Should I do the water pump when I have the timing belt out? Also, can the pulleys on the accessories (alternator, PS pump, AC, ect) wear out over time and become noisy?

>>14015077
from my rather limited knowledge of working on cars, you should replace the water pump when doing the belt, purely because you've got the belt off and can get at it

Why is there so much hate for Jimmy's Astra?

Don't add that much weight, it'll be awful. I assume the R1 is balanced better than that Ninja too.

You looked at FZR600s and things like that? I know a guy who got one for $500 not that long ago. Old ZX6Rs can be $2000-2500.

Got my new gloves today too, they're so comfortable. As a note, don't use Riide. They're really cheap but it took them almost two months to send my gloves.

They don't breathe that well, but I've never had too much trouble with gloves in summer honestly. I was using AP* SP-2s until now.

I'll grab a photo later, but here's a Google shot.

They're great though. Might be able to get a better view in the RevZilla video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxNR8VI3RJc

>>14015849
Yeah, already seen them on Revzilla, look meaty.

Only problem with heat is usually at a standstill at traffic lights when you can't get the wind blasting away on your hands.

My "summer" gloves are comfy as fuck now, but I know come winter i'm gonna be on the look for something similar to yours.

>>14015858
I wouldn't use Full Metals in winter. They're still perforated and built to have good feedback. They're track gloves more than anything else.

Get actual winter gloves. I really like Dainese Stelvios.

What do you do when you want to go fast dat? Not hard in the corners just pushing your car to the limit.

Why not message him? I'm sure he'd tell you.

The full metals were pricey, but I got three years out of my badly made SP-2s, so these should last for ages. I get some numbing in my right hand on long rides too which these should fix.

XR250 confirmed for greatest learner's bike of all time

>>14015831
Manual swap never needs it unless you're cutting and fabricating things
Turbo conversion always does
Basically any engine conversion that wasn't a factory combo needs to be
HWP are assholes basically

>>14015942
what about, for example, rb25 to rb26, assuming it's similar power output and you could prove that
anyway, thanks m8

>>14015947
Nope
Basically what they want to be certified, is stuff where mounts etc need to be fabricated. That and if you have a ridiculous increase in power, like if you took a LS7 and stuck it in what was a stock VZ 3.8. Otherwise I'd it's a factory combo and not a huge increase, and nothing is fabricated, go for gold
With that said some engineers are cheap as chips, friend has been quoted $700 to engineer a 1jz hilux

>>14015954

thanks m8, just trying to avoid dealing with engineers on future projects

>>14015890

>>14015956
Don't. Get it certified and do it properly. That way when Officer Greg is pissed off cause his wife won't fuck him and he wants to fuck someone else to make up for it, you can slap that paper in his face and skid off into the sunset

>>14015968
I thought they could still ignore the paper if they really wanted to

anyway, they could always get you for other stuff I suppose, i,e. mate with a stock 31 skidline got pulled over, cops ended up getting him for worn out door seals or something like that

/dat/ how much have you spent in the last week?

>>14015930
>Why not message him? I'm sure he'd tell you.
Yeah, might be worth a quick message on Twitter or something.

>but I got three years out of my badly made SP-2s
That's pretty good, i've been hearing A* gloves are pretty crappy and wear too easily, unless you get the top of the line shit.

>I get some numbing in my right hand on long rides too which these should fix.
Yeah, I had those with my old Five gloves, was a crappy fit I think. It's hard to get gloves that fit my oddly large hands correctly.

>>14016008
well he's already getting me a car next year so I was thinking maybe something like a PS4 or some nice new clothes.
any serious suggestions.

>>14016005
Yeah unless you're buying SP-1s or something they tend to fall apart. My SP-2s have a big hole in the left thumb though so... I bought them before I ended up with my Dainese bias. I'd highly recommend a pair of Dainese Druids if you're ever after a mid-seaaon or summer glove.

It was a mix of my gloves being stretched out and a miscellaneous accident thing... My bike feels really foreign now though, I've gotta break them in for sure.

Yeah, i've swung from A* to Dainese too, Druid looks nice but probably after a more full gauntlet glove.

>>14016024
Mine are XL, I think it's mainly the fact I have long fingers and a really long thumb that make fitment so annoying.

>>14016059
Yeah, great note.

Mine is a bit to grumbley for my likings. From what I've seen the daishin ones are higher pitched

>>14016073
Druid is the model above those Carbons.

You're looking at the short cuff Druid. They do a full gauntlet as well.

Don't look at the Full Metal D1 price haha.

>>14016073
>>14016087
Oh those are goretex carbons, disregard what I said.

Here's the full gauntlet model. RevZilla doesn't have them anymore, but Cassons should.

Hah yeah I saw it the last time, might be too much for me.

Having said that I want to buy an $800 Schuberth helmet.. Amongst a lot of other things.

New winter gloves aren't important now anyways, not for another 6+ months at least.

>>14016118
I was going to buy Druids originally (full gauntlet), they're around $330 usually. Riide had the Full Metal for $380 if I remember, so it was hard to resist.

>Having said that I want to buy an $800 Schuberth helmet.. Amongst a lot of other things.
My Arai RX-Q saved my life, I got another one straight away. You'll be amazed at how comfortable and quiet those high end helmets are.

>New winter gloves aren't important now anyways, not for another 6+ months at least.
Yeah, the only time I use winter gloves outside of real cold weather is for long distance. I just use the Motoline winter gauntlets they give us for free at work now.

Don't know exactly what it is, but i've never liked the Arai styling. I think it reminds me of Lego helmets.. But can't knock it if it's done you so well. Still having any side-effects from the crash?

>You'll be amazed at how comfortable and quiet those high end helmets are.
Yeah, my current helmet is good and all, but it's just too damn loud and not very stable at high speeds.

Schuberth S2 looks so good though

>Yeah, the only time I use winter gloves outside of real cold weather is for long distance.
I went out during winter with my old gloves in midnight, coldest fucking ride with those gloves. Just standard perforated full gauntlet gloves, made me realise how shit they are for those sort of conditions.

Haha, I see what you mean. It doesn't blow me away or anything, but I like that they're fairly reserved. I was using OGK before that, think they're called Kabuto now. They had some funky shapes.

>But can't knock it if it's done you so well. Still having any side-effects from the crash?

>You'll be amazed at how comfortable and quiet those high end helmets are.
Yeah I'll most likely be sticking to Arai from now on for obvious reasons. As for side-effects, unfortunately yeah. Lots of miscellaneous shit. I'm trying to get past riding anxiety at the moment. I get a lot of brain fade and things like that still too. No hunger yet either.

>Yeah, my current helmet is good and all, but it's just too damn loud and not very stable at high speeds.
Tried any ear plugs? I used to use Hearos, but Ear Peace stay in way easier (in a helmet at least). I used to always ride with ear plugs on the MC22.

>Schuberth S2 looks so good though
Not my thing, but Schuberth have an amazing reputation. Hardly doubt you could go wrong.

>I went out during winter with my old gloves in midnight, coldest fucking ride with those gloves. Just standard perforated full gauntlet gloves, made me realise how shit they are for those sort of conditions.
Yeah I only got winter gloves this year. For my last job I rode all through winter. Had a few early morning -1/-2C rides in perforated gauntlets. Used to get to work with white hands.

then they'll just punch you in the gut for being an arrogant prick and say that you shoved them.
if a cop has little man symdrome you really can't do anything short of try and record it. they'll find something to defect or they'll find some way to give you a hard time.

so what the fuck is up with phones being illeagl in cars or some shit?

Got told i couldnt have my phone in a holder for GPS. fucking what.

Are hands free kits illegal too now?

>>14017712
In SA you can only use a phone hands free if you have a full license.

If you do so much as touch one on your L's or P's and the cops see you it's an instant fine.
You can't even use your phone to listen to music in your car.

>>14018012
this is probably how Jimmy lost his license.

yes. he the only one who keeps trolling him. he was the one who posted jims details. even though the rest of the internet has gotten over it.

how did falcunt get jimmys address and personal details from a anonymous image board? i think falcunt hacked jimys ip address.

>>14018405
He stalked gumtree listing and found jimmys Au falcon for sale, got all the details etc

>>14018405
you're not KIWIFAG are you? i know he's not this stupid

never new about jimmys AU only been here since jimmy had MR2

>everyone already knew jimmys town
>he had pics of his house in the background of his AU's ad on gumtree
>falcunt found his street and matched the streetview pics with the gumtree pics
>same way he also got his phone number
it wasnt super difficult, jimmy had all the info freely available. jimmy also posted his gumtree ad here too for advice i think.

>>14018429
falcunt really needs some sort of a habit. maybe like getting laid...
if jimmy was in nz i would have helped him get his cars up to scratch.

shame that falcunt needs a life..

>>14018451
whens the last time falcunt even surfaced?
maybe he ded too

>>14018468
he supposedly appeared in the last thread but pretty sure it was fake again

>>14018468
yes but only he would say that. he not ded just posting as anon because every time he posts he gets hammered

>>14018487
thats sort of like what jimmys doing.
i dont think he hates the attention though, hes just waiting to get his license back so he can talk about cars again.

>>14018494
>waiting to get his license back so he can talk about cars again
That does make sense. The Jimmy Is Kill meme crap is just plain stupid so I hope he at least stops doing that.

>>14018494
he has said he does like some of the memes.
i dont think he hates the attention, i think he hates the troll. (falcunt) thats why if jim does post its as anon
>if he is reading this: you dont need a licence to post about cars jimmy

nope, not Jimmy.

I thought falcunt was the "post pics 318 crash" sperg

Honestly though, most cunts here are dingey as fuck anyway. Even kiwifag is probably crooked as fuck

>>14018669
jimmy is kill and the 318 pics is jimmy

>>14018631
how do you know for a fact he doesnt exist? just cos doesnt post?

>>14018821
>So, if I were to plug my phone in and play music on shuffle and not touch my phone at all until I turn the car off, I can still get fined?

It's all very vague so the best way is to just avoid anything phone related at all. But if it's an iPod Touch with the exact same interface as an iPhone, it's perfectly alright. It's all pretty retarded.

>>14018821
yep, if a cop sees it you're fucked.
get a cheap ass MP3 player and that's fine
don't use your phone, even if you hide it. it's not worth risking it.

Even if there is no sim card in the phone you can still get done.

>>14018836
no. i dont troll.

>>14018896
As far as I know, it literally only applies to devices that can make and receive phone calls. Just get a USB drive, fill it with music and plug it in.

>>14018896
Get an iPod Classic if you want lots of music.

>>14018902
simmer down jimjam

>>14018902
FUCK OFF

>>14018012
Your phone can be playing music, you just can't touch it. Eg changing songs.

>>14018821
No you wouldn't get fined for that.

>>14018842
No that'd be considered a mobile device.

>>14018874
This is incorrect. It's pretty straight forward. Don't use mobile devices while driving. If it's plugged into your head unit and playing music without your input you're not going to get fined for it since you aren't using it. Where did you come up with this?

>>14018919
This >>14018896 they aren't using the term mobile literally.

>>14019144

>>14019184
I certainly am implying, friend. Owning a car with more than 200,000km is a bloody disgrace.

>>14019234
what car do you drive friend?

>>14019144
>implying km matter much if maintenance is kept up
You're probably the sort of person that wonders why your stuff breaks so often and just think "Well, I had this for X amount of time, time to get rid of it and buy a new one", you're kucked by capitalism, m8. A mate had the same model, got up to about 800,000 without any major work needing to be done.

>>14019234
you're a bloody disgrace.

>>14019144
>>14019234
>not having half a million kms on his shitbox
It's like you're not even Australian.

>>14018978
no, you're wrong you dumb cunt. enjoy your $500 fine.

>>14020200
By your logic you can get fined for using a cigarette lighter phone charger to charge your phone while driving somewhere

>>14020362
you can if you're on your L's or P's in SA m8.

>>14020468
what if it's a passenger's phone charging or connected to the radio?

>>14020200
I can tell you right now you're wrong man. It's straight up using your phone. The grey zone would be if your head unit had the ability to take calls from the phone while connected.

You will not get fined for using your phone to play music and you will get fined for playing with your iPod Touch while driving.

>enjoy your $500 fine.
I'm not a P-Plater.

>>14020362
>>14020468
No you can't.

You're misinterpreting this part of the law.
>If the phone is being used via blue tooth, a headset or earphones without touching, holding or resting the phone on their body, the phone may be located anywhere in the vehicle, including in the driver's pocket or pouch they are wearing (the driver may touch the earpiece or headphone to operate the phone).
This bit specifically refers to making or receiving a call via a handsfree unit.

Followed by
>This rule does not apply to learner's permit and P1 licence holders. These drivers are not allowed to use any type of mobile phone function of any kind while driving.
This isn't literally ANY phone function. You would not get fined for having your phone connected to a head unit and playing music UNLESS you picked up the phone to change the song while driving.

>>14020200
>>14020468
>>14020711
To extend on this, if you take the laws 100% literally, then no, it's not legal. However even The National Transport Commission has said the laws are model only as they're considered "confusing".

You won't get a fine for having your phone playing music through your head unit unless you pointed it out to a cop during a check and called him a dumb cunt for not fining you over it.

>>14018945
make me! you punching those keys in all caps is really making me scared, yeah right! try again dickhead
>>14020733
the rules are simmilar here too. its got to be on a hands free device like bluetooth. however me and my buddy have caught the odd cop breaking their own rules by texting and driving.
as long as the cop canty SEE you changing tracks on your phone while driving you should be fine.

this thread is nothing but dumb cunts.

How much better is LPG for running costs in something like a falcon ute? The 4.0L kinda worries me especially since it will be my daily.

>>14021973
only run LPG if you're okay with the fact you could explode at any moment.

>>14021973
It's cheap but burns fast, I haven't noticed a difference in power. IMO it's a waste to convert but if it comes with it then it could save your ass if you're strapped for cash

>>14021979
Lpg is also temperamental as fuck, mine blew the air box in half

>>14021975
>>14021979
Ta, many on gumtree seem to be LPG so I may end up with it. Performance doesnt worry me since its a N/A and I have a bike for fast anyway

>>14021986
Yeah just gotta have the right tune, spark plugs etc or it will backfire

>>14021973
Had duel fuel in my old XF ute, LPG lasted fucking forever. Only switched to Petrol every now and then to make sure the fuel line didn't get clogged. Absolutely gutless compared to using fuel but it's not like you're gonna take it to the drag strip. Make sure you fill up LPG in the morning in Summer though due to the pressure buildup in the tank.

I am looking to buy a part from an aus retailer, but they won't ship to the states.

Is there a service that can reship the part for me, of any anon that's would help?

Should I motard my XR?
The knobbies on it are too hardcore for much road and are wearing out really fast.
Or should I get normal size wheels and just fit 50/50 tyres

>>14027486
Turning your XR into a motard will be more than just a set of wheels, for the best results you'll need to address the suspension and brakes as well so that it handles good and stops good on the road.

If you want to make it more streetable on the cheap get a set of road/trail tyres for your stock wheels/spare set of wheels.

Too bad not many showed, plus the dead mx5, could've been fun.

>>14027633
Which bike rocked up? Sorry I couldn't make it guys, just had that party stuff to do.

I still have no idea what's causing that grinding sound while turning left I heard today on my way to the meet. The Brake assembly is pretty snug in the wheels, I think it may be the backing plate scraping on a wheel. What could cause such a sound dat? Could it be a wheel bearing?

It probably would have limped home with no battery power but it didn't work for us on E85, we made it a few turns but almost rolled backwards on a hill.

Removing the alternator right now so I can replace it tomorrow.

re-reschedule meet wen??
3 vehicle turnout was pretty shit with such good weather.

>>14027658
It's a nice looking bike.

>>14027662
>battery pack
Hah, I'm not the only person who does that?

You'll have me there next time hopefully. I went up last week, but yeah ended up having to do shit at home today. Schedule one up soon, before it gets crazy hot.

>>14026525
I warned you yet you still went. MX5 anon confirmed for a dumb fuck.

>>14027633
did 318i guy show?

>>14027021
Yeah it's got a limiter set by the ECU and it does some flames.

I used to get a knocking sound from the rear before there was a major collapse, but not a grind. It's definitely not rubbing the wheel well or the brakes against the disc?

Get it all sorted soon and we can organise a fresh meet. Hopefully MC22anon will make it again, I'll bring the R1.

>>14027751
no it wont. you just made things 10X worse.

>>14027751
Wouldn't it melt and create a horrible gooey mess?

any pics from the SA meet?

Good job, just use alfoil for a temp gasket.

>>14027765
>>14027772
I'll let it fully cure and see how it goes. I can always buy a gasket.

>>14027756
it's not connected to the brakes being applied, on the way I did a few corners with and without the brakes being applied and the sound was there either way

Taking my pre-learner motorcycle course in January, what should I expect?

>>14027821
to learn how to ride a bike.

>>14027797
Hmm weird. Maybe get someone else to drive your car and sit as close as you can go the source, or on the side of the road?

>>14027821
Hella fun hooning on twofiddys.

Just relax, listen to the instructors and don't pick the honda, it's only 125 and kinda slow, means you need to go up an extra gear to keep up

This >>14027835.

I did my pre-learner on a Ninja 250, was fun.

Listen to the instructor and don't be afraid to ask questions. The instructor should explain and demonstrate everything you have to do pretty well.

Don't be afraid to drop their bikes - you're not the first to do it and you sure as hell won't be the last. They've got crash protection all over them (crash bars, frame sliders etc) so you're not going to do shit to the bike short of riding it through a fence (happened to the instructor once, true story).

Above all, enjoy yourself. Take it easy, get a good night's sleep and stay hydrated, the usual shit.You shouldn't have any trouble with any of the exercises, even if you've never driven a manual car before like me.

Good luck mang.

Re-visited the powerlines track today and made it all the way to York without breaking anything or getting stuck.

I did bitch out on the more technical rock climbs and descents but the shit box had a good time out there without overheating or breaking a CV joint.

>>14027886
Yeah, they do a good job of teaching complete noobies.

Having said that; if you do run into some difficulties, don't stress. Just keep trying to go at your own pace, learning the controls without worrying about trying to pass.

You get three attempts with the one payment, so just book another session if you don't succeed. I guarantee you'll be much better the second time around.

>>14027979
Jimmy version of this pic please.

>>14028012
He's a fucking fat gay baby

does he still even post bike videos anymore?

I stopped ages ago after his "heart breaking" video where he sobbed on cam for 20 minutes and then a month later got a new gf and all he did was post real life shit

>>14027539
I don't give a fuck about actually doing it properly, it's a 250 so it won't wheelie decently unless I fit trials spec sprockets

>>14027484
Shipto should, there's another but I can't remember what it's name is
I can also sort something out myself if you need
