Last weekend i was driving from Sydney to Melbourne via Hume Highway. It was like 3am in the morning,a supra drove past me and slow down(i think he was waiting for me) and when i catch up,overtake him and he pull next to me and overtook me again. I was doing 120(i should be driving 90) and we keep overtaking each other for a few times,than i start to get annoying. So i put down a gear and drove past him. About 20 seconds later,a car behind me is flashing high beam,i thought f&%k man,not again..SO i just ignore it,less than 10 seconds later it start to flash blue and red lights,than i know is a cop.(Not the supra,there is a highway petrol hiding in the bush) I was doing 160 at the time,so they pull me over,took my license,gave me a paper that says i have to go to court. I dont blame anyone but when i think about it now i feel how stupid i was..

Today my gf drive my car,some how she lose control and bend the front right hand side wheel..Does anyone know where i can find some parts for that(i dont even know what i need) around Northern Beaches in Sydney..

been there done that..

prob lower control arms.. or hub assy.. you really need to have a look under... also check that your nothing is leaking.. if so it will either be your shocks or steering rack..

get it on a hoist so you know what u need.. ring round just jap, and places round moorebank.. bit of a trek but if u get the best price it will save u alot..

good luck

well unfortunately you will be getting nicely f**ked when you go to court. nothing you can do, you broke the law and got caught. some people would say that 160 in a 90 zone at 3am is a tad reckless and i'm sure the magistrate will be one of them.

160 in a 90 zone? That wat 70 k's over the speed limit? If you go over 45 or more over hte speed limit that a licence supension of minimum three months. But since u did more u might get more. Sorry to hear, but doode u shouldn't let another w@nk make u speed as much as u did. Would have been better to be annoyed or slowed down than lose ur licence for several months.

How did u get home that nite anyway...just out of curiosity.

160 i say dont worry about the car cause you wont have a license for a long time

No way man,i love my car..Im thinking of selling it,but never let it sit there with a damage..

Any way,ill let you guys know how long i will lose my license..hopefully no one will need that information.. :devil:

I also got pull over by the cops when i had my r33 on the Hume Highway but thats was about 4 years ago... and i was trying to catch up with this black supra... but i was doing a 100 but the cops pulled me over when i was at 70 and told me that i was speeding and they had me on camera about 3km ago doing 105 which is funny because i would have thought they would get the supra before me since i know that thing was doing atleast 140 and was way ahead of me... i wasn't going to go that fast....

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
