    90 to 94. There are internal differences but all are 35mm. How much do you want to spend? I know of a nice NF4 white power set up.

    They pop up in Japan yahoo auctions every couple of weeks; they generally cost around ~$100 NZ plus shipping. sometimes your lucky and manage to get clamps etc with them.
    Give us a jell if you want to us to follow up on a set.

    Don't know about that. Average Yahoo cost of NF4 forks with clamps including shipping is closer to $450NZ, and then you get stung with gst and duty on top . Cost of RS parts has noticeably increased over the last 6 months but it has been pretty much offset by the high dollar. Getting up at 2am to lose an auction is a bitch.
    Here's a nice set of NX4 forks, starting bid $1300NZ http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u45995981

    They forks are a bit funky in the NX4. They are 35mm at the top clamp and like 41 at the bottom clamp. Makes it easy to put them in as you dont have to slide the 35mm through both clamps.

    Later on the NX4 had radial mounts... Like the one's kel posted. I think the last version only. 04.

    When I first starting buying stuff through Yahoo auctions it was great, you'd place your max bid and if you were leading with 6 hours to go then it was generally yours. Now days its like trademe and people wait for the last 10 minutes then start bidding stupid amounts Wheels are the worst, my first set only cost 12000Yen (plus shipping), now days you have to be lucky to get a set for less than 30k, add shipping gst and duty and its not too flash. Heres a set that may be worth watching http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/j...ion/m106509884 . Also to note you need the tyres removed for shipping.
    But hey sometimes you get lucky!

    They did, but decided they didn't really want it so concentrated their efforts into improving their Ben10 Tombraider equivalent high scores.

    Anyone know if the rubber rear wheel dampers (cush drives) are the same between the NF4 and the NX4?

    Going to order some from Japan if anyone is interested. Gary's in for a set at this stage.

    Thanks Scott. Surely you must need some cush drives? You lads probably have the most RS gear in the country.
