I have my own tire mounting machine and tire balancing tools. On every bike I mount tires on, I always first put just the rim on the balancer and find the 'real' heavy spot on the wheel. Many shops incorrectly assume that the valve stem area is the heavy side of the rim, and they mistakenly...

Here's my 300ZX Twin Turbo. GPS verifed at 163mph :punk: Was still accelerating but I was running out of road (and the balls to keep going). The Starion on the back ground is my daily driver. Vinnie

Hey Gannon, I did my cop mod about 4000 miles ago. Bike runs great. I did blow up a Dyna when I first did the mod. Then had an issue when using Mitsubishi cops. Now I run the Denso's and it's been a pleasure ever since. I want a set of your wires. Tell me if you kept the polarity...

I used to run the Mitsu cops with my Dyna 3000. After about a few hundred miles, I blew the Dyna up. Got stuck and had to be towed home. When I saw the Dyna, it had been over heated and the plastic case was blown up. I don't mean to be too dramatic here. What I saw was that the case had an...

Any Vmaxers near Burr Ridge, Illinois? I've been looking to buy a 300ZX Twin Turbo and I found a nice one (I think) but need to find someone mechanically inclined to go take a look at it for me. I want to know if the car is all that the seller says it is, and I'ld like to have someone go...

38 front, 38 rear. This is with 120/70-18 on the front and a 180/55-18 rear. Carrozzeria rims with Metzeler ME880's. Vinnie

not actually monkeys, but...

I had problems with the Mitsubishi R1 cops. If you install them, let the bike warm up good and park it in the garage with it running. Turn out the lights and see if you see any sparking from the cops to the engine block. If you do, then those won't work for you. They will make the bike...

Looks like a Vmax part to me. It's the right side handlebar switchgear. It also holds the throttle twist grip cables that operate the carbs. But, it is not a USA part. Looks european, due to the hazard light switch and the fuel reserve switch way at the bottom. The USA one is different. Vinnie

+1000 to this being the best Vmax forum on the net. I belong to a lot of other Vmax forums and most of them 'bite.' I was on some Yahoo Vmax forums and I still go there occasionally just to see what's going on. Nothing but fighting and name calling. No much information to be gained. I would...

Gunrunner, That red with skulls looks sickkkkkkkkk. What the hell did that cost? Beautiful. Vinnie

I had the same issue. Started with a sticking caliper. So, I took it off, disassembled, and cleaned everything to look good as new. I put it all back together and guess what............... Still sticking after a few rides! Same thing also,,,, was hard to push one side back in. I took it all...

Anyone know the duration for the stock cams? I was just comparing to the web cams and see that they are 270 degrees for their most mild cam. Vinnie

I'm always surprised when I see how low some guys get for gas mileage. I've been getting from 140-145 miles consistently with my bike. 2001 Vmax. I have the stock exhaust on. 18" radials. Running 145 mains at 5200' altitude in Colorado. 42.5 idle fuel jet. 95 PAJ1, and 170 PAJ2. An opening at...

Hey Coprunner, Find and read a book called 'Hold Me Tight.' I just went through some rough times with my wife. We're getting back on track right now. The book helps you to find some insight as to why couples have a hard time getting along sometimes. To sum it up, they don't feel 'safe'...

I changed my idle jets to 42.5's. I also changed my PAJ1 to 95. This is the configuration for some other country's Vmaxes. My PAJ2 is now at the stock 170's. I did the changes for the reason that, to get rid of the low rpm 'pop' out of the carbs, I had my idle screws turned out pretty far...

If this is the same pipe made back in the 80's, then it's a piece of crap. I had one of those and I think it was called an MX3 back then also. I ordered it and it was supposed to be chrome. All chipped up and only single plate on a steel pipe. The tiny mufflers were a joke. No packing in...

Are we going to be seeing pics of this Vmax Turbo project as it comes into being??? Please document this stuff.... I'm sure we all want to see the finished project as well as the dyno numbers. Vinnie

Where you pouring gas over any of the spark plug wiring as it was overflowing? That would cause the COP's to stop firing maybe. Could have also started a really big fire! Usually the gas will flow from the vent tubes and then down onto the motor. Vinnie

My wiring harness came from a 2007 R1, Mitsubishi COP's. When I got my Denso's from a GSXR, 2007-2008, they plugged right into the same harness. No mods necessary. I think all the bike COP's use the same plug setup. Vinnie
