156050vy3uoibugr.gifI GOT MY LICENSE!!! 156050vy3uoibugr.gif

Some of you won't even have realised I didn't have a license. Others that don't know me will be thinking 'whoop-dee-doo'. But for me, this was a MAMMOTH event! I had my test this morning at 8.45am and I passed. Hip hip hooray!

Basically, I started learning when I was 16 with my ex boyfriend. He owned a nice yellow and black torana. I had a few lessons but found it difficult to drive without having arms like popeye. I had a couple lessons with the local driving instructor, who had a little clapped out echo. That thing was the biggest piece of shit EVAR!!! And living in Kingaroy, I had no choice but to learn in it. Anyway, a week before I was scheduled to go for my test, I was driving the torana, and we were arguing about something. I pulled over, and asked him to continue driving. He was furious (I can't even remember what about now), and he crashed the thing side on into a nice big tree. Smashed all up my side the doors, panels, windows etc. I wasn't injured, but I realised quickly how easy it is to crash and possibly maim someone for life.

So then several years later, I moved to Brisbane. I met Andrew, and a couple years on, he buys his first skyline. I realise I should get my license and so, go for some lessons again. Booked my test, ready to go! One night, Andrew and I were driving along in Rocklea, when he needs to do a u-turn. He waited for traffic to pass, and half completed the u-turn when I spotted a nice big post box on one of those huge ass cement poles coming right for me. He managed to steer the car so the postbox wouldn't make contact with me, but with his side instead. Once again, I was left realising how quickly and easily it would be to hurt someone dear to you. So I cancelled my test. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

Nearly 2 years later, after driving around on my learners, and after receiving a fine for doing so alone, I finally book lessons, and consequently, a test. I went to all of my lessons, and to my test this morning, which I, as you now know, passed.

I had, in my opinion, one of the fab-est driving instructors around. He is a driving instructor, stunt driver, drifting instructor and advanced driver training dude. Some of the things he taught me, like the push pull steering thing, I first thought WTF :action-smiley-069: but as I practiced it, it made a HELL of a lot more sense! AAAAAAAAND he has spoken to the peeps at Mt Cotton (who despise the skyline club, btw), and he has managed to get them to agree to having us out there for a day! More details to come shortly. Thanks paul :laugh::cool:

My tester was nice... a strange man with a passion for talking about cocaine and immigrants, but nevertheless, nice. I realised one thing though, he spent most of his time staring at my rack! :(

So aaaaaaaaanyway... that is my rant (a happy rant) about me getting my license.

Anna xoxo

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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
