Modena

Please review my post again.

Pardon me for raising this thread from the dead but I have actually had a run on West Ring Road today... I think I ran past the first fixed safety camera location in Laverton North doing around 115-120 KM/h. Then I realised that I have sped and slowed down to about 90-95 KM/H for most of the journey from then onwards. Am I gonna get a fine of "Speed by 10 KM/H or more but Less than 25 KM/H $215.00 3 Demerit Points" or will I be "ok?" I have not had a speeding fine for over 7 years and have all my demerits points so this upsetting as I am usually a careful driver. I am planning on applying for an "official warning" if I do get the fine... not sure if it will work though. Opinions?

Well she is 22 after all, just acting her age* *The contents of this post do not apply to BLK33T

I hear drug pushing and stripping pays well jks

Go stalling free... use plumback.

Best way to test if your wheels will spin, hold one foot on brakes and the other on the gas*... *I would not advise to do it for any longer than 5 seconds, unles you want to have bald tyres and an overheated tranny

The wingless look is ok, what spoils it majorly is the scratches/holes on the rear of the boot... and to paint that will cost you a few hundred easy, maybe half a grand so just leave that little wing on if money is an issue.

Basically the same thing.

Droney... Actually that is what I had and I sold it as I could not stand the drone after a while. They are cheap and give good power, but you really NEED an extra oval resonator in there instead of that canon or weld one in the middle of the exhaust!

They should penalise people according to their salary like they do in Finland... so if Mr Justin Madden earns over $150 K PA, please don't give him a $200 dollar red light camera fine, make it three times that of Joe Blows... make it $600 then we will see how he will like to pay it.

Yeah dont bother with NA skyline. Skyline's image is build on a turbo, remove that and its slow and unresponsive. As others have said, buy a cheapo car, drive it for a few years then sell and buy yourself whatever you want.

Just Car: Im 27, R33 GTST, rating 1 plus rating 1 protection. No claims. Paying $1010 a year. Coming up in April this year, might look around as I want a 3 digit cover, not 4.

Was using Castrol Edge Sport 5w-30 but not bought some Mobil 1 0w-40 SyperSyn... I always use genuine Nissan oil filters.

Buy a decent Japanese made system, turbo back. Dont go cheap, the drone will annoy you.

The silver is fuel filter.

I cringe every time when I see cars being thrashed right after the start up.

Thanks chief. Yeah I have also started investing late last year and bought myself an index fund in ASX 300... so putting into that every month. I also too have a side business growing and that requires some time and often money. But yeah I really need to get into the real estate market early this year, from then on I can start seeing what else I can do with my funds. I was also thinking of going to a track day, but then it hit me that my brakes will need replacing, oil change and etc as the track days really push your car to the limit... so I think I will hold off for that for a bit however I do want to have a go some day... maybe a bit later. If it wasnt for the 10% deposit on the house, Id be there

Yeah I thought "here we go, he's gonna try and come up with some b*shit excuses about my "mods"" but he didnt waste my time really.

Cheers jenkies! The thing is, there will always be someone faster than you... so what's the point? Thats one argument, the other is I enjoy my ride for what it is already, fairly quick and quiet and goes pretty good too compared to most cars on the road. I did have a pod filter and BOV but due to my ineptness it ended up costing me some money to fix the car as the unsecured pod ruined my AFM and the BOV kept making my car stall. After running around trying to work out how to fix my car, I replaced my AFM with another and put the stock air box on and removed the BOV. Car is reliable again... I just hated my car stalling in the middle of a traffic light and on freeway lol The zorst was fun but it was too loud for my liking, decided to sell it while its still newish. The final decision that swayed me to keep my car stock was the real estate market... 4-5 years ago you could buy a house for 200 K, now that same house is 400 K +. So I m channeling all my funds towards my first property... cant stand renting anymore.

Ha the irony... you do realise that HID kits on R33s are illegal and void your insurance policy?

I keep it under 2000 RPM until the temp needle has reached the middle point. Usually takes about 5 minutes of driving for it to warm up. Then I can start boosting past 2000 RPM.

Yesh the R33 "fog lights" are more like driving lights, they dont blind people unlike SSs and XRs.

Was driving towards Brunswick St (Melbourne) last night (Saturday) and saw booze bus doing its own thing... Im driving in my Skyline. As I am driving up towards police, they let about 4-5 cars go infront of me and when they spot my car, they tell me to drive in to get breathalized. I didnt drink at all, it was around 9pm. I had my fog/driving lights on as it was still fairly bright and I could see well on the road. As I drive past one cop he tells me to put my lights on... no biggie, I turn the foggies off and chuck the headlights on. As I pull over, the second cop breathalizes me and I think the cop who told me to turn my headlights on, runs up to my bonnet and asks me to pop it open. I have a stock standard car, used to have a pod and BOV over a year ago which I took off and also had a turbo back zorst which I also sold. As soon as the cop pops my bonnet he's like "Wow, a novelty...stock standard!" Im like "yeah the car is fully stock". He then walked off. This is wierd cos I have owned my car for just under two years and this is my first "inspection for mods" incident. Thought Id share... Id hate to be one of you guys who have sh|t loads of mods! Any stories?

Burnley tunnnel = disgrace

That looks mint.
