i think ppl can agreee with me that you have spills of pure bad luck. i did nothing more than what most ppl do everyday.

Just a small comment about driving like most people do everyday. Don't do it... most people are idiots, and a lot of the problems on our roads come about from the attitude "Well if he/she does it, I can too."

Not a criticism, just some advice. :dry:

you will really have to be an angel on the 12 months probation. it wont be easy, especially in a skyline when it's so fun and just so easy to hoon!

good luck Ally.

it sucks, but you did it!

no excuses about no one around and it was 1am etc, you still did and just bad luck you got caught - happens to everyone (sorta!)

Ah I no its going to suck! im going to be a granny driver!

I hated telling my mum, I was like, mummmmm um this is what happened last night…

:D

hahaha, bloody kids!!! ;)

my brother had to tell my parents and when they told me, i said about time - knew it had to be coming sooner or later!

he was a hoon in a sh|t car!

your choice but i'm telling ya there is no way you can go 12 months without losing a single point. you'll keep driving for a few months but eventually you'll get done.

that's interesting. i drove that particular skyline for 3 years without racking up a single point. i know accidents happen, but if you're on your guard & don't drive like a tool its not impossible!

haha 33 drivers have it worse then 32 drivers imho...

within 2 weeks of having my 32, i got pulled over 3 times... jsut breatho and that was it, no TMU or nothing...

i was TMU free up until saturday night after beastclub's annual cruise, pulled onto blackburn road and bam.. over my car.. got epa'd for BOV :| not cool...

chris is the bestest, i wont drive like a tool... nice car chris! :):sick:

Is a very nice car and my favourite GTS, tastefully modded and well looked after.

It will be tough statistically due to the amount of time you have to spend on the road everyday but you can do it. The best thing you can do is train yourself to look out for any undercover cars and keep off the roads in it late at night.

I have been driving 9 years and had one fine through for 1 point caught by the camera on the reverse side of the Altona Bridge going city bound. Contested it and didnt get the point or the fine. I try and drive impeccibly around residential areas and pride myself on it but out in the hills (or paddocks!), is a different story but am always very very aware of my surroundings.

Good luck and make sure Chris teaches you how to drive it as he drives like a nanna :)

hahaha!

and yes its the nicest skyline i have seen thats why i brought it! its not over done

Thats no good getting caught speeding. I hated it when i lost mine for 6 months.

If only you got pulled over by a MALE cop, I bet you would have got away with it... :0

HAHAHA CHYEAH I NO :dry:

i have gotten away with it the first time i was pulled over the guys wore really nice and got the melways out and helped me find were i needed to go and all!

Chicks always get away with things. The hotter the chick the more they can get away with :dry:

Nah I don’t think so, being a good looking girl, ppl that don’t know you get there back up, like ( of course not all ) but a lot of girls don’t like you. And Guys that hold grudges against good looking girls cause they couldn’t get them in high school ( meaning they look at all young pretty girls as bltches ) they treat girls like s***.

Good luck finding a male skyline driver that the police have pulled over for speeding, and let him off with some helpful melways assistance...

thats funny ive had my P's for like 5 months and i drive my R33 NON SLEEPER bov body kit etc and ive never been pulled over! maby they just wanted to get a closer look at a hotie driving a skyline! :)

I didnt tell my parents when I lost mine for *gasp*9months*gasp*. If I did i would be in heavn now. :)

DONT SPEEEEEEEEEED!

lol how did you avoid a question like "son, why is your car in the garage all the time now?"

imagine owning a veyron in Aus....ud be itching to try its power but cant do it....now thats sexual frustration for ya! :)

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
