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

Yeah they do. We all do.

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.

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

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....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
