Bryce, What a gorgeous looking car you have there.. It looks really awesome and I bet it looks even better when your facing it. Well done i think you have done great!

What was it like driving from Melbourne to Newcastle?

was it a dream?

Cant wait to get my stagea

shell

Thanks for that :) yeah the drive was fantastic, I think as I mentioned I did the drive with a mate, switched the driving every half tank and had lots of fun :) gave many petrol stations a visit aswell :P the start of the Hume was a bit rough but overall the roads were great.

I haven’t mentioned this previously :( but on the whole trip we didn’t see one police car, and that’s over 1000km's. but on the very very very last leg of the trip (within 5k's of home) I got pulled over :(

basically the story goes it was my mates turn to drive from Sydney to home, we arrived at his house around 1am and I was just so excited to get home so I just jumped straight in the car and took off. now the problem with that is that im still on my P plates and I forgot to put the p plate on when it was my turn to drive from his house to my house (as I said, about 5k's) I turned 2 corners and I see some new forester headlights in my rear vision mirror. I didn’t really think much of it so I just went on my marry way. after about a kilometer or two I see a faint blue flashing light coming from the forester :woot: so I pull over and it obviously turns out to be a unmarked police car. Both of the cops were nice guys - but were pretty set on booking me. First off they questioned me about having no plates - so I explained about my road permit etc, then he questioned me about rego (???) so I just explained my situation again. He then went on to say how I was speeding ( I wont deny it, as I said, I was just pumped to get home) so I said straight up that I know I was speeding. Luckily he explained that he didn’t get me on camera so he couldn’t book me for speeding. Eventually he asked me for my license, all looked good and I thought I would be on my way very soon, after he inspected my license he asked "so are you displaying a p plate?"

At that point I was on the verge of crapping my pants, when I got in the car back at my mates house, putting on p plates completely slipped my mind

So once again I explained it to him, but he wasn’t really listening, he said he would book me and ill get a notice in the mail... for everyone that isn’t in NSW the fine for not displaying a p plate is something like $195 and 2 points.. what makes it worse is that I only have 1 point left :( and that im only a month or so away from getting my full license (I got my greens a little late) so its been just over 2 weeks, I haven’t received a letter yet.. So fingers crossed he didn’t process the fine or the stag will be in the garage for 3 months :(

Brycey: i had a similar thing happen when i had 6weeks to go on my P's, had 1 point got a 3point fine so i didnt pay it untill i got my blacks :P then payed it and the points were taken from me then ;)

BTW, that was back in 98 so they may have changed how the system works since then.

its a bit of a kick to the nuts.. yeah FLY PSI thats what i hope to do - but i have been told that the RTA wont give you your blacks untill all fines etc are paid for.. they will let you do the test and pass but you have to pay the fine..

i still havnt got a letter in the mail yet so hopefully it can hold off for another few weeks - fingers crossed, touch wood etc :blink:

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
