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....

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
