In 6 months of skyline driving, I've been pulled over three times. Once for driving like a dickhead, once for no reason at all and once for driving the wrong way in a 1-way street. Still no fines for any of them but I have nothing unroadworthy on my car. It's possibly too loud and one cop said I can expect a fine in the mail for intentionally losing traction or something but nothing ever came from it. You're definitely more likely to get pulled over in a skyline, but assuming you're not a flamin mongrel to the cop, you're not going to be treated unfairly. But I guess it depends who you get pulled over by

Also, can i use the leftover wax on my rims? Will that keep them clean or easy to clean? Someone said to spray them with mr sheen when they're clean and then it's just a hose down job but that advice came from 4chan so I'm not sure

I entered up using almost all magiuares or whatever it's called stuff. Everything but the clay bars which were 'Mothers'. Came up as well as can be expected for a 15 year old car. Still some small scratches I wish came out better but certainly a well spent day and a bit. Better than staying in bed all day watching family guy DVDs. I actually really enjoyed each phase of it. Noticing improvements and when I was done I was happy with the the way it came out. Add some tyre shine, give the wheels one more clean and it looks awesome. I thought I'd get bored of it quickly but got some music going and had a good time. I'll be doing this again some time and revisiting this thread to check those suggestions again before I start. Shat my pants today though. The firsts drive I took after all was completed, I nearly got cleaned up by a fire truck. If there was an accident and it didn't kill me, the anger would have. Pics coming soon. Just on the iPhone at the moment and on my way to work.

and because I was so excited to get started once I bought everything, I forgot to take before pics. But ill try to remember before I start polish and wax

Had a bit of a look. Didnt see your post until after I bought some stuff. Turned out I bought almost all the same stuff you mentioned. wish I saw the thing about clay bars. I bought the Mother's one which is sure is great quality and all that but you're right, its way too small. oh well, finished the claybarring in the end. wash, polish and wax tomorrow. I only plan on douing this once a year or so. Think its worth me buying a orbital buffer"?

All good. Found em at repco.

Yep, doing that. Don't know where to get clay bar/bars

Ive got 2 days off work and the weather is looking good so im going to do the most thorough detailing/cleaning job I can to get my car looking great. Hopefully from there It'll just take a wash every now and then to keep it looking good. I'll be using tips I found here http://www.skylinesa.../page__hl__wash But if there are new products out there that arent listed, I'll have my phone with me so hit me up with any of your tips/advice since Ive never done this before. The car is a 1996 Series 2 R33 and its black, so I end up washing it all the time only to have it look dirty 10 minutes later. Hopefully this helps. Anyway, I'll post before/after pics when I'm done (Either late tonight or sometime tomorrow) All tips and advice is much appreciated. This is the most recent picture I've foun of it. Will be taking more today.

Theyre all the same brand though. just different colours

Im also doubling up and wearing 4 socks. because my feet were cold

haha, I always wear odd socks. just easier than finding pairs when you lose shit as often as I do

Hey guys, Ive entered a ten minute mix competetition on youtube. Have a listen and hit the like button. would appreciate it. Came third in the last month I entered, would love to get some more free CDs. Thanks guys

While that makes sense, I was taught to drive by my mum, my dad, my sisters, sister's husband and 2 RACV instructors. I think it would be hard to enforce anything like this. But i think proffessional lessons (Maybe minimum of 10 hours) should be manditory with the instructors name(s) on the application before anyone else can take you driving. Also, while this is the opposite to what a lot of people on SAU would want, I think we need much more strict guidelines for roadworthy certificates and harsher punishments for writing up dodgy ones. Ive seen (And owned) cars in shocking states been given a RWC no problem. Lastly, its too easy to get a license. in victoria anyway. I dont know about other states. When I got my P's, I was a shocker driver. While I knew the road rules, I had still had very little driving experience but there was no way vicroads would find that out on a 10 minute cruise while the tester had a good ol laugh with my instructor. months after getting his P's, I had a mate driving me to the city. He told me it was the first time driving on the freeway. How the f**k do we give people license having never driven on a freeway. This is an entirely different level of driving. And I didnt worry too much about going for my license because at the very least it was going to be a waste of 100 bucks and an hour or two of my time and I could always rebook the next week if i failed. No big deal. Why would I make sure I'm a great driver when its so easy to try again? And whats to stop me developping bad habbits as soon a i leave the center? tldr; Make it harder to get a RWC Make people learn to drive with an instructor before theyre family and friends Extend the testing process for P Plates. Include a freeway driving section. (Still need to make sure that testers are doing their job properly.) Limit people to 1 test per 3 or 6 months. This way people will make sure that they are ready before they book a test test drivers every 3-5 years to make sure they havent slipped into bad habbits. Maybe every 2 years after 55 years old or something. These things would probably all piss me off at some point in time, but there are far too many dangerous cars/drivers on the road at the moment.

In the end didnt bother writing a letter becaus im a lazy f**ker. paid the fine. moving on. anyway thanks for (most of) the input.

To name a few Mazda 3 MPS Nissan Maxima Mazda 6 Honda Accord Holden Statesman Lots of others But I cheated. My dad is a surveillance cop so he has a new car for wwork every few months. hehe. He doesnt pull anyone over or do any kind of traffic work. in fact he hates them. Taught me the term 'concrete dickheads' from when i was about 5 years old
