So for those of you that are not familiar with the 1998-2002 Nissan R34 GTR, a quick run down. It is a 2.6L straight 6 twin turbo, 6 speed manual, AWD, with all wheel steering (optional depending on what level of gtr).

It is a halo car made super famous in North America by Paul Walker in the early fast and the furious movies. It was never made available in North America or any similar crossover model. 

It is a stellar car for its time but has been blown into outer space by fanbois with too much money. 10 years ago you could pick up a decent one for around $30,000 cad shipped from Japan. 

This one sold at auction in Japan last night. It is probably a 2001-2002. The V spec 2 version is track orientated version but not the most hard core. It has 5,700 original kms and it's auction grade is 5/A which means it is basically as good as brand new. The Bayside blue colour is very sought after. 

It sold for $246,000 cad last night. What the fuck........ 

I love me some 90's Japanese sports cars but that is full retard.

Unfortunately they are all going this way because they are inching closer to legal for import in to the USA and you guys have a lot of people with either too much money or easy access to too much money lol.

A lot of importers up here are offering free storage in Canada until the car becomes legal for usa import. Since we only have a 15 year (25 for Quebec) import ban where you guys have a 25 year ban.

Crazy ass shit.

Still too much as far as I am concerned. A couple of year ago I went truck shopping with a buddy and at both ford and chev, they were telling us you couldn't buy a V8 4 door 4x4 half ton for too much less than $45,000 cad. To me that is pants on head retarded. New vehicle prices are ridiculous but because you can get them on 12 year payments, idiots keep buying them. As long as there is an ass for every seat, the prices will continue to climb.

I didn't realize $60,000+ for a half ton was a "good" price

Yup. Lol, @Beavis and Butt-Head, the link you gave had suggestions at the bottom. 50in 4K smart tv = 300 bucks. 

might actually pick that bad Larry up to replace my current monitor, that’s a great deal...

Samsung 50" LED NU6900 Series 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart TV UN50NU6900FXZA 2019Dell Price$294.99

I just picked up the 55" NU6900 from Costco on their "boxing week" sale and I was $513cad otd.

It is pretty good. Way better than my old 50" 1080p lol. But I am a cheap mother fucker and refuse to pay more than $550 for a tv.

Well shocks are out. Now to find someone local to rebuild.

Unfortunately I can't get them rebuilt for one particular rider. This is a wife/friend sled and a person between the weights of 150-250lbs could be riding it. So if someone who knows about rebuilding shocks has any recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated.

Just now, Big Crappie said:

A new secondary spring and new sliders might help. I'd do that and see how it goes before any primary weights.

Ok. Do you have any recommendations for secondary springs? 

Also, by sliders do you mean the ones on the rails? If so, those are graphite ones and maybe have 500 kms on them.

That is good for 90mph at 1:1 at 8000 rpm but I'm thinking it just can't get there with that much track.

Should I be putting heavier weights in like a 68g? Also the secondary clutch still has the factory red spring. Should I be changing that out for a new/different one?

What gears are in the dragon?

21 top 40 bottom

Stretched to a 144 with 2" paddles.

I put new 62g weights and a new lime green spring in the primary this year as well.

Put my first trail miles on in 5 years. First time in a trail with either of these sleds. 

Trails were hard as a rock and bombed more often than not. Did some lake running as well. Finally got to stretch the legs. 

So my 08 D7 was topped out at 7900 rpm at 76 mph. It had nothing left to give. On the low end it is snappy and picks the skis up nice and it a ton of fun but zero top end. It was twitchy as a mother fucker on the hard pack. Every corner when on the throttle, the inside ski would lift up way to much and try to throw you off. It is an absolute handful. Also a pig on fuel. I have never owned a sled so bad on fuel, I don't understand why.

The 07 cf6 was way faster then the Polaris. It wasn't even fair on the lake. Pisses me off lol. Unfortunately the rear shocks are toast and bottom out all the time. Going to get them rebuilt this week. But what a great trail machine. So easy to be fast on the trails. Way less effort then the Polaris. Will be even better with the rear shocks rebuilt.

Unfortunately I only took one picture.

Ya know, I never really liked you too much anyway, you generator bastid!!!  I told you how to rig up the GENERLINK and you never gave me credit, you dirty bastid! I'm the one that told you about the GENERLINK, then you said you spoke to a friend of yours about it, then never mentioned it again!! Fuck your generator!! I hope it shits the bed, and you freeze your ass off!! 

If Ontario has dirty rats like you, then maybe I'm going elsewhere!!! 

Probably the slammer at the rate you are going. 

Here is a sweet ski-doo for sale lol

Well the engine was pulled from the 08 rmk with the fucked piston. I think we found the problem and it wasn't a ring catching the exhaust port

It is shitty to out a member but at the same time, not too many things in this world worse than a poacher........

Yeah lots of people are using co-op synthetic oil here with no issues 

I was using that oil last year until I found out is is only a synthetic blend and mystic sea and snow synthetic blend is considerably cheaper

Well I got a couple of miles on my 08 d7 switchback. 

This year I put new 62g weights (same as what I took out) and a new team lime green spring into the primary.

Last year I was struggling to get much above 65 mph even though I was hitting 8050-8100 rpm. 

When I was out the last couple of days doing some field riding and ditch banging, according to the gauge I wasn't able to get much above 7800 rpm very often. The max rpm on the gauge says 8050 but that is only a peak snap shot. I apparently have a top speed of 69mph but I haven't been really able to wind it out on a huge straight. It feels fast but the gauge tells a different story.

Also back around Christmas I let some absolute new people to sledding drive my sled around in a field. They drove it very slow as they were a little scared. When I jumped on it yesterday for the first time since then and my idle rpm was 1500-1650 until I drive it for a bit then it is around 1650-1800. I have never had a sled that idled that low. Is that a bad thing or is the 1500rpm idle a non issue?

Also on a silly side note, I really miss the better seating position of an rmk or the IQ raw chassis. My 08 sits lower with the older style seating. I tried to swap an rmk tank and seat on to it but the "hoop" is a different design and the tank won't fit. I tried a rmk seat on my tank and it doesn't fit right. Has anyone heard of a work around to get a better seating position or am I stuck buying another sled? I didn't really want to buy another sled as Polaris limited the 700cfi to a base model rmk for 09 and gone after that. I really don't want an 800 shit box and I don't want a 600 lmao.

Just now, Woodtick said:

Sea and Snow. I use that shit in everything.

I just bought my first jug of that yesterday. It was pretty much the cheapest synthetic blend 2 stroke oil around. I have like 3 different kinds of oil in my sled right now lol. All synthetic blend but I was running out. Hopefully it doesn't have any negative effects.

If I was ment to be any higher off the ground, I would have grown more lol. I really enjoy being on top of roof tops and the like. But the things that get me up there such as man lifts or ladders, fuck that shit. Do not trust at all lol

No you don't. I've wrote BOS and had them written for me for whatever is somewhat reasonable. They dont look at book value for anything but vehicles. 

Ahh. It has been awhile I thought it was the same for ohv's as well. Either way it is absolute bullshit anyone is paying taxes on used things because what was the point of the original sales tax lol 

Out here is Alberta, the taxes were paid when it was new. So zero tax on any used vehicle, on or off road.

 In Ontario you pay tax (13%) on what the government thinks it's worth and if you don't like it, you can pay a shop to appraise it and then you can pay 13% on what the shop says it's worth. It's absoulte garbage.

Brisk Saturday morning here. Bailey just hanging out in the back yard enjoying the morning.

Sorry for the bad photo. Used a ton of zoom with the phone from inside the house because it is too cold for this guy for a picture lol
