NZ and I are in the middle of a deal right now. So far speed of service and response has been excellent. Therefore, I think NZ means what he promises. And, in Engrish!

I am also working with NZ for a large brake rotor kit shipped to the US. NZ has been responsive and I am standing by to see what shows up in my mail and when. I'll post results when I get a delivery.

It is in HK - I think end of the week you should have it if not before

Got back in town last night late, picked up the 300cc kit and took a look at it this morning. Nicely packaged to prevent shipping damage. All 8 corners of the shipping box were crushed, but not a mark on the inner box with the padding to keep the parts secure. Nice work!

I don't even know what all the extra pieces are for. The head and base gaskets come with the kit, but NZ included what looks like a complete top end gasket and seal set. I feel so spoiled. I'm due a bit of vacation on 31 May so about then I'll start the install.

I expect the bore kit with maybe a couple teeth on a new rear wheel sprocket will eliminate any craving for a 450. 250cc is fast enough for me and then some, just want more torque when loaded for a trip. 300cc should do that.

Thinking about buying another RX3 and doing some measurement on a complete teardown to see if there is room for a stroker crank. Need to get a few 300s thumping around to test durability of the rest of the driveline before spending a ton on stroker development. The 250 high rpm powerband feels like the head, cam EFI, and exhaust can provide good performance for a 350cc ADV bike stock. Won't rev like a crotch rocket, but the powerband will probably begin at idle and go steady up to 8500 to 8700rpm.

Then, there's always porting, polishing, port matching, maybe bigger valves will fit, less restrictive air filtration, and a custom exhaust. I have a potential source for cams, too. Those mods will compromise a bit of the bottom end, but if properly tuned and the ancillaries will hold up, I expect knocking on 40hp and still comfortably streetable.

Been a while since I tweeked a new engine. Always a fun project.

The large brake rotor kit arrived yesterday (May 29) at my home in Virginia. I had sent NZ payment via Paypal on May 21. So I am very impressed with NZ's responsiveness and with the shipping time from Chengdu. BTW I got the kit that uses the stock RX3 caliper.

It may be a few days before I can try mounting the rotor on my RX3. But I do note that the kit uses a floating rotor style, with approximately 12.5 inch diameter. In comparison, the kit that CSC sells appears to use a non-floating rotor with an 11.5 inch diameter. So the kit NZ sourced uses a heavier, larger diameter rotor. The bracket in NZ's kit is pretty simple and a bit clunky looking, whereas a friend commented to me that the CSC kit included a nicely machined bracket. NZ included bolts for the mounting in his kit, but the CSC kit also includes new brake pads which NZ does not. I am not sure if the new brake pads in the CSC kit may be matched to the wider diameter of the rotor, or if they are just replacement pads for the stock caliper.

Presuming I have no mounting issues, NZ's kit should be a big improvement over the stock brakes. It's less than half the cost of CSC's kit including shipping. But the CSC kit would be a lighter option and may be more refined.

Further comments once I mount the kit.

Thanks to NZ for giving us this option.

Welcome!
Yes I think the kit could or should improve - but at that moment I had no actual bike to test on, I had not yet seen the actual kit hence I offered at a stupid low price for you to test etc.
I think I will just offer a 4 pot version, NOW that I have an RX3 AGAIN I can look at things test things photo things and ask opinions on things so kits etc etc can be more to how most would like it to be (Priced according to the extra's etc)
I need to redo my bikes front end but the seller has such complex and confusing options I and my wife cannot work out what to actually order (SAD)
I might buy 1 of each option and work thru that to just work out what would work best mechanical price point with shipping etc.
Maybe Option A B or C etc or just drop the simple cheaper and only sell the better (Remember freight to the USA is the same on cheaper or expensive parts) The rotors for all options are the same, then either stock caliper, 4 pot caliper (3 options and master cylinder ( I think 3-5 options)
VERY confusing!

NzBrakelathes · 06-03-2018, 03:07 AM

So I am now on the front brake upgrade - few photos to show the situation and ease/complexity of fitting it al etc (not that hard but had to tidy a couple things up)
Here's the end result:

Hai NzBrakelathes, I'm from Malaysia and I'm currently using the carb version of the bike. I've done a lot of reading about the 300cc kit and I'm interested in buying and testing it. How much is the cost for 1 kit shipped to Malaysia? Is it still on promo?

Hello hi greetings from China! But I am from New Zealand tho so relax.
it's $250 ith extras to the USA ($45 of that is shipping) So $205 plus shipping to anywhere you might be if DHL or UPS reaches you etc.
I have added in a bunch of small parts that you might need just incase so it is more then just the factory kit.
I will gladly send you a set etc just PM me

NzBrakelathes · 06-06-2018, 11:22 PM

Here is a wee extra long clutch lever at the gearbox, this is a cheaper version as the bracket is plain simple but there is a nicer bracket able to be bought.
It makes grabbing the clutch just lighter and fits the NC250 engine with stock cable etc regardless of the model of bike.
as you can see it just moves the leverage outward a half inch or so

NzBrakelathes · 06-07-2018, 09:02 AM

I can source most any parts from China many bikes and engine parts - GUYS do ask huh and yes Paypal and worldwide UPS or DHL etc as well as postal service for the smaller packages

Hi,

Can you help me to get this ítem?
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=546161523938
That vendor seems to be out of stock for the complete system
This is the original maker of the EFI:

If you can find a source for this, please quote a Price and I'm sure we can get through.

Thanks,
