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....

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
