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....

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
