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!)

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!

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 :)

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

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...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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.
