That's sick as! Love that it's road registered too. Can't put 35's on your 4wd but a starter motor on a button, direct to the diff for reverse is legal 😂

That's some clever out of the box thinking there 👍

[@t_z1030]

Love me a small, light car. Big power on a straight bores me after about the third pull but smashing through corners in a buzz box is always a blast, as long as you have the tyres and brakes for it

[@phuzz00]

Driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow :)

[@spyderMN]

My riding buddy (RIP Mike) had a bandit like that. It had this huge seat and bag setup, we called it the flying couch with the sound of a well oiled sewing machine. Love the build of that nugget, I wish we had more of those small cars here. Just ordered the 07k and parts needed to swap it into my 944 - haltech 750 on the way too. So excited!

This is one of the best builds on the skid factory. Its sounds incredible

[@cjm5002]

Okay how good is that!? Kicking 10k RPM and banging a sequential from the comfort of a car seat! I was always curious how that would be but getting to see it now, wow. Man, if I ever get the change I would so do this.

They are all super genuine blokes and an absolute pleasure to talk to. If I ever get around to pulling it together, I’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks fellas. Woz

[@doogieboi1758]

Had one of those bikes. Super reliable, super torquy for the capacity. Lovely bit of kit. 2011+ Bandit 1250n is the pick of the bunch 😘

[@jordanbycroft9434]

Very torquey aye! I never gave it a proper ride before pulling it apart but I bet they’re a wheelie machine!

Quaiffe actually do a chain drive LSD for conversions, but it’s always awesome seeing some home build ingenuity. Sick clutch solution too. EDIT: Snap he mentioned the off the shelf diff solutions.

[@tx5brent]

I think Jordy helped me out with some info for my Bandit 1250 powered race car, cool to see his car on the show. As for an LSD diff, in formula SAE we used a torsen style centre diff from an audi, we machined an adaptor that connected to the sprocket and the driveshaft passed through the middle, it was a very unconventional contraption

[@feenyx6394]

I like my Nissans, and I love my nuggets. The bike engine swap is just gratuitous overkill, which is likely the best kind of overkill you can do in any car! Love to see this sort of build, and that engine sounds (and goes) so much better than the original CR13 ever could :D

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

Nuggets are awesome Unusual choice of motor for a bike engine swap, but very well done

[@jordanbycroft9434]

It came down to cost and practicality. I wasn’t sure I’d actually follow through with it in the beginning, so a complete bike for $1500 meant I didnt have much to lose. It’s also a really torquey engine, which gives good road manners. If I do it again I’ll go with the tried and true Hayabusa.

[@nathanpeachs2704]

What dreams are made of.. That car is EPIC! Great Vid boys 👍

[@michaelblair4744]

Very cool. Sounds great going through the gears.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

K11 Nugget ✔ Paint-tin encased fully-DIY diff with reverse and all (that's $4 of the 8k spent, saved on a quaife right there) ✔ Probably a 12k rev limit ✔ Sequential gearbox ✔ Mismatched panels ✔ Turbo Yoda touches ✔ This thing checks all the boxes 😂 Two questions: What are those seats?? They look like budget versions of e36 Vaders. They look great. ..and can we get the Red Micra featured? That thing also looks badass

Red Micra is Sean Austin. He has his own KZbin :)

what a weapon, that would be fun as hell

[@skinnyhonkie7565]

Holy shit, this is awesome. Beautiful work. LSD would make this a track weapon, turbo would make it a coffin.

[@Pats-Shed]

That Micra looks like a blast to drive. It would be interesting to use a B-series engined Civic VTI or Type-R gearbox with the LSD . Chunk chopped from the bellhousing to allow it to snuggle up against the back of the bike engine where the swingarm normally lives . A 15/30 sprocket set with the 30T mounted on the civic clutch center and a support bearing mounted on a plate bolted to the remainder of the bellhousing. This would give a possible 30 forwards and 6 reverse gears 😂
