Hey all.

Son of SK here

I figure many people here will have been in a simillar situation to me... I know what skyline drivers are like.

So I thought I'd ask the question.

After a run in with the cops (only one in 12 months of skyline ownership - touch wood), I am basically going to lose my licence (on a good behaviour licence, got done turning right, in the wet, on a crap road, using 2 lanes - a race line damnit).

Now, I'd rather prefer to have a licence, than lose it for 6 months.

Now, my good behavior licence ends this month. I am to go to court March 8 for my appeal (first date, not going to actually be heard for some time I expect). Now, after Feb, I will be on a normal licence with 3 points - but suspect that if I lose in court, everything will be backdated to me being on the GB licence, therefore I will lose my licence...

Is this correct??

Now, had the idea of going interstate - haven't we all - and getting a licence. If I cancel my licence before I go, but keep my licence in my hand (say I lost it??), go to Queensland, get a friend to write a letter stating that I am living there - can I get my full lince when they don't find me on the computer system??

Or, should I not cancel my NSW licence when I go to Qld?

Do I lie when they ask if I have any pending infringements?

What's the whole story about changing states for licences??

Now, I believe South Australia is the only state not using the national driver's database - should I go there?

Worst case - New Zealand - its cheaper to get there than WA...

As long as I have a hard copy NSW licence, can I get a kiwi licence, no questions asked (with proof of address) - or do they check with NSW...

Sorry for the novel of a question, and I know it seems like a lot of bloody effort for only a 6 month loss, but hey, I need it.

Hope someone has some idea

Cheers

Matt / Son of SK :sorcerer:

if you lose your license in one state these days you cant get one in another they are all linked by computer on 1 database now if you get a license from another state and lose the one from your home state you lose your interstate license as well

if you lose your license in one state these days you cant get one in another they are all linked by computer on 1 database now if you get a license from another state and lose the one from your home state you lose your interstate license as well

That's only with states that are linked.... because not all states (and terrirories) are created equal.

SOSK

I won my neg driving charge in court yesterday! IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEE THE GUILTY WALK FREE HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :woot::wub::laugh:

No but seriously.. Get some evidence, lots of pics and put lots of doubt in the prosecution's evidence :happy:

I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you will need proof of residency to get a licence in another state...I am having this issue at the moment as I don't have any prrof. they only except things that don't have "changeable addresses" i.e. rates, rental documents, utility bills (elec/gas/water).

As for the back dating thing, I am sure this is the case here now in NSW. You used to be able to drag out a court case and get more points, then just lose them and not lose your licence (depending on the points of course) but I believe that have now changed this so it all reverts back to the date of the offense. However I still believe that the suspension period starts when the sentence is handed down...I think if they want to revert the date for the offence, they should for hte punishment too, but I guess thgat would mean some people would never really lose their licences because of how slow court proceedings can be.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
