Mate, aren't Skylines, like all Jap imports, electronically speed limited (governed) to 180 km/h? If so, how could you be doing 187?!?!

ummm helloooo...which rock have you been hiding under....speed limiters are piss easy to remove nowadays.

GUYS, cut the dude some slack... I mean, yeah, he was stupid, idiotic etc... but hey, he's done what he has done... give him some support...

Like I had said before ... you will be charged, fined and probably (most likely I must say) imprisoned for a few months... but you will have to be strong and stand up and take it up the arse...

Having said that, shyte happens... just think of it as a very very expensive lesson...

From what I have heard from other friends in similiar circumstances... mostly likely they will impound your car... I would sell it if I were you...

Laterz now..

Yeah they do. We all do.

And shame on you all for judging him... NONE of you have that right.

I would say you're looking at some jail time, and you'd be CRAZY not to get a lawyer. If you're VERY lucky, you may get away with some community service, but I doubt it.

Why would we support some idiot who endangers other peoples lives? :) I think he should do some time because obviously they have been far too lenient before and he didn't learn. Maybe his room mate 'Bubba' might make him think twice afterwards. :(:)

We should start a tote on the punnishment he will get.

My bet is for"

6 months periodic detention

5 year disqualification from driving

$5,500 fine + court costs

Hopefully Habib, you WILL learn from this. If you drive again without a license or like a maniak, I assure you you will either spend a LOT longer in gaol or may be killed or worse kill someone else.

GROW UP AND LEARN FROM THIS

None of us have the right to judge him? I disagree.

When this stuff happens it reflects badly on us all.

On this forum, we hear of people constantly saying they are being victimised for choosing to drive a skyline... that insurance is higher, especially for younger drivers... that cops go over the car with a fine toothed comb based solely on ethnicity.... this is a classic example of why this happens...

I seriously hope it's someone taking the piss in a late april fools joke.

To argue against the people of this forum judging a person by his actions is to condone those actions... to do nothing is much worse.

Personally, I'd say get rid of the car. You cannot handle it. End of story.

You tried kid, but your overwhelming desire to prove your manhood by battling off some bogan in an SS shows that you're not yet ready for anything beyond a ford fiesta.

It's really no different than picking a barfight because you think you can show how manly you are, except less people are killed in barfights than in streetraces.

go home. Pack your bags. Say hi to the other criminals, for that is exactly what you are, a criminal.

You and those like you make life harder for us all.

Bah, I'm ranting. I'm turning into my father. I have the sudden urge to say "Are you happy now? you broke it!"

Would you cut him any slack or be suportive if he actually drag raced and killed one of your family members in the process? I don't think so.

If you could prove that it was still limited to 180 and it was an acurate limit then you might be able to question the accuracy of the radar. Just a thought.

speed limiter can be taken off with just cutting one wire i believe....but it also comes down to how accurate the speedo and the radar are.....

What's a solicitor going to do??? Try to prove he wasn't speeding??? If he was dragging someone he's gone, no one in the world (EVEN the judge) can do anything about it, he broke the law for no reason, and they will get him.

I've noticed that a lot of guys have just been flaming you, and knocking you, when i'm sure you already feel like shit, and don't need to be punched in the face while you're already on the ground. You're young, and may not have gotten over that speedy phase yet.

Anyways, even where you are wrong, a solicitor/barrister can always help you immensley. The issue is with our court system (not a bad thing, because that's where i'll be making my money) is for the lay person, it is heavily biased against you.

If you try and represent yourself, you won't know what to do etc.

The DPP is a lawyer, so in a situation that it would be touch and go, he'd win.

As a lay person, it is simply very difficult, if not impossible to know everything you need to know. e.g. what about if the DPP attempts to bring in hearsay evidence etc, will you challenge him citing provisions of the Evidence act 1995?

or say if the DPP is attempting to prove the elements of your offence, are you able to identify the relevant section of the crimes act/other legislation etc.

Get a good lawyer. he'd be able to advise you about what to do etc, and represnt you.

I have had a friend in a similar situation, and the lawyer costed him $800 for the day. that's very cheap.

try telling him that if he hurt one of your family members in the process. im sure your point of view will change dramatically.

fair enough everyone has had their 'speedy' phase. but do u seriously need to go 187km to show your faster?

A Stock SS will beat any lighty modified Skyline, let alone the SS' commodores with Tunes pushing 240rwkw.

the commodore ss that raced you is another idiot.......how hard would it be for him to just ignore the car beside him thats instigating a race.

i was challenged by a blue xr6 ute (i think it was) to a drag race down near endevour hills - just told the guy politely that i wasnt interested. He was cool with it,but still stepped on it when the lights turned green.

Always easy to say no to these kinda things....

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
