Thats good to hear lol, i cant wait already. Been wanting a r34 gtr for years and it looks like it will happening soon.
-
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows what R34 V-Spec II's are actuallying selling for at the moment?
I have a rough idea from auction starting prices etc. but never get see what they actually end for.I'm hoping to start looking for one to import at the end of this month but the budget im aiming for is 55k max, including compliance, shipping, rego and everything else that goes with it.
Basically what im asking is if its possible to get a decent V-Spec II within my budget with low k's and as clean as possible, no or very little scratches inside and out.
It's probably asking alot for what im wanting to pay, but thought i would just check incase lol.
Any help would be great.
-
Wow that's really tempting, i hadn't intended on starting to look for a gtr for a couple of months yet but, in that condition and starting price. Damn...
-
Is jsai safe to buy from though? i bought the ztune front bar with the lip and it took 8 months to get.
also i had to take the lip off because i got defected for front bar being to low WITH the stock springs and 19" rims. Doesnt look anywhere near as nice without the lip though.

What would Curtis E. Bear do?
Blackmail him.

bet the cops are reading all this having a chuckle .....
Prob lol, nothing against them though, just this specific one.
Most are usualy pretty freindly.

There would be much more chaos on the roads if people had to watch out for others merging and give way to them lol. One thing that the majority of people miss out on is you must accelerate to merge. Unfortunately 69% of road users are unable to look for oncoming traffic, accelerate up to the posted speed and merge safely hence we end up with retards stopped at the end of these merging lanes/slip lanes trying to merge from a stop into 80km/hr traffic.
That being said, when someone tries to merge onto a highway (for example), how many people here actualy slow down/speed up or change lanes to let that person merge onto the highway. Id rather let them in or get out of the way then have them stop or try to force there way in.
-
From looking at that map I'd take it as a merging lane and I'd expect if I was merging onto that road for someone to show common courtesy and change lanes for me while I'm entering or if I'm in front of them for them to let me in.
I wouldn't stop and give way coz that's a pretty long lane for other road users to see you merging onto that road.
What ever happened to common courtesy on the roads?
This. ^
Was there ever any common courtesy on QLD roads? I've never seen it...If there is ever a situation where you should go with benefit of the doubt when giving way, it's when your in a skyline and the guy you should be giving way to is a cop.
The rule is clear cut. There is a give way line there, he needs to give way. He's not going to get out of the fine on the basis that it would have been 'courteous' for the cop to let him in.
90% of the time people will be courteous and let you in but i guess this doesnt apply to cops.
I got a cop in a bad mood, who was in a rush to join every other cop in australia at a small bingle 500 meters up the road. I guess i just have to deal with it and take it... Unless im positive i would win its not worth taking to court, will just end up having to pay fine and court fees.
-
Stupid question but did you even use your indicators when changing lanes?
lol yes ofcourse. I always indicate, shits me to tears when people dont.
-
I think what might of happened is;
* you didnt see the motorbike and almost ran him over in merging so he booked you
* you didnt see the motorbike and he didnt see you turn your head, so he booked you anyway for failure to merge safely
* you merged, he wanted to talk to someone cause he is lonely on the bike, gave you a ticket in the process
He was behind me so i doubt i nearly ran him over, if at the very very worst he may of run into me, but at the speed we were at i doubt it, that and the distance between him and me. The cop is also well known around petrie area, big heavy guy on a bike.
He also said he was going to take me to court right there, but he decide he was going to be "nice" and go for $300 and 3 points.
Im not saying its impossible we didnt have a close call but very unlikely. Up to you how you wanna look at it.
-
you could be a real prick with that if you had the time with traffic and you would be doing everything 100% legal and have traffic backed up for miles especialy around the city in peak hour
This is why i dont understand this rule, because you could do exactly this.
I dont think many people understand/know this rule or choose to ignore it, cause you would have idiots sitting blocking traffic untill its 100% clear and theres no traffic in a million miles.
Especialy in heavy traffic, you could be sitting waiting for hours for traffic to clear.

I did a year good behaviour in a skyline, without a working speedo. It can be done.
Yeah i had a freind who did it in a skyline as well, so i know it can be done, im not sure how though lol.
I guess just be super super carefull and a tiny bit lucky.
-
O well, thanks for your help anyway, i guess i will just have to take the fine and 3 months suspension, i doubt i could last a year on good behaviour in a skyline for the reason that its a skyline.

I know the place you are talking about, your MSPAINT diagram is accurate. More recent picture (not sure if you need to sign up or anything, it's free) http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-27.248201,153....mp;nmd=20100907
The lane doesn't suddenly end, it is miles long.
YES, you needed to give way there. There is a dotted line ie a GIVE WAY line.
Your situation EXACTLY follows example 2 on page 151 of the document you linked. You are driver B. "In these examples, vehicle B must give way to vehicle A".
Don't go to court, you will lose. Suck it up and pay the fine.
Suggest you use your spare time not driving learning the road rules.
Im well aware of the rules, this is the only one i have a problem with. If you read whats written under the example you will see it has a subsection that contradicts the example (unless im reading it very wrong). Even talking to department of transport couldnt even give me a straight answer.
and i dont know how you figure its miles longs since its a solid line untill the very end, your link clearly shows that.
Maybe i didnt explain my self well, but im not sure why im giving way, he was no where near me when i was merging, its not like he had to evade, or brake hard, he was coming down the hill still while i was merging, and by the time i was 100% stopped he was only just behind me at that point. Meaning maybe he had to brake a bit more because there was 1 extra car.
But if you think im 100% in the wrong regardless than fair enough.
(looking at my picture ive drawn the cop far to close)

As for map its a bit old, the offramp/merge has changed a bit.
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&sou...mp;t=h&z=19
Coming off Bruce Highway merging onto Anzac Avenue, Kallangur.
Also street view, its on the wrong side of the road looking at the merge lane on the other side, looks like you have ages to merge but when you're actualy driving along it very short.
-
Terrible drawing but...

Hi, cant seem to find a 100% answer about this, even reading the qld road rules pdf, it doesnt give an exact answer. That or i dont understand.
Basicly i was coming off a highway where the offramp merges with a main road rather suddenly, i checked side and rear mirrors as i was coming off and saw no one, just before i merged i looked beside me and in my side view mirror and still no one, so i merged.
Just as i merged the traffic stopped because of a red light, i looked in my rear view mirror and there was a cop on a motorbike with his lights on telling me to pull over. So i pull over and the cop fines me for not giving way when merging from a slip lane and told me i should of yeilded or pulled ove,r even though there wasnt a yeild sign and the road ends so it would result in stoping off the road.
The thing is it wasnt a slip lane, the road actualy merges from 3 to 2 in an instant. I would think if he was behind me he should of seen i was merging and slowed down so there wouldnt be a problem, but he basicly said because he had to slow down i didnt give way (despite there being a red light anyway so he would of had to stop regardless.)
I would like to take this to court because it deffently wasnt a slip lane, obviously if it WAS a slip lane i always have to give way. If i take the fine it will result in the loss of my license which i use for work daily, the problem is i cant find out who legaly had right of way.

Should be ok buying it through modyourcar, if something goes wrong should be able to easily contact them unlike jsai.
Modyourcar must of only just started selling that bar, they didnt have it when i bought that bar directly from jsai last year which took nearly 8 months to get.
-
I dont know how you could safely go through jsai.
I tried to buy the ztune front bar off him, ended up taking nearly 8 months.
Wouldnt reply, refund, anything, then one day it just showed up.
Without being able to contact him face to face theres no guaranty.
Even still theres been people who couldnt get there money back like this.
Id love to belive he is back to normal, but his history is just to sketchy.

If only you were in QLD
Id love to get the wing stands and pillars done.

Easily done with common sense,
Previous owner of my car tried to take the adhesive crap off with a knife or screwdriver or something stupid.
Destroyed the seal.
I used a knife on mine, was trying to be careful but I really don't have much patience.Didn't destroy the seal but left a lot of mini scratches along the seal.
Will probably have to respray it, but hardly noticeable when you polish it.
Drivers side has chunks in it, to deep to polish out. Bit annoyed, i took my passenger one of and didnt leave a single mark, took all the adhesive off with my finger nail lol.
Not to sure how he made such a mess, seemed simple enough.

This is a bit of an odd one, looking to get a nismo short shift because what ive got in there now is... beyond trashed.
However being a R34 with a rb20de i cant figure out what would fit.
Does anyone know or know how i would find out?
Would i try to get one to fit a r34 non turbo or a rb20 (r33)
