ok...

hung over (not still pissed it was like 3/4pm) driving my skyline after about a month of driving a run down POS corona i took a turn too fast, lost the rear end, brought it back, hit a patch of sand, spun, stalled, saw ppl trying to take a pic i paniked, did a little skid leaving. then cops come round my place while i'm playing with the sound system ask me what the go is, tell me they have 2 whitnesses and a pic, i owned up to it. knowing the difference between reckless and dangerous i made sure that i repeatedly said it was an accident. they took me to the scene to take pics of the marks, i took pics of the sand and the bumps on turn in (JIC coilovers dont like the bumps much) got charged with reckless which i'll have no problem gettin down to dangerous... careless on the other hand :S

i also dont have the best record ever, lost my licence twice while on my P's one of which being for dangerous in a very similar situation althought i'm not sure how long that stuff stays on your record

my lawyer costed me about 1k originally was charged with reckless drivin but dropped the charges down to a dangerous will find out the number for u n post it for ya

but he was good got reccomended by a frd who works in the justice depo

Isn't that telling you something? Chill the fk out dude, stop being a hero. You're gonna hurt someone one day!

i no that i could have denied it (been there done that) but in this situation i felt that it was better to fess up from the get go and try and get the charge reduced, it saved my car being impounding and me being arrested

since finding out about the whole 2nd dangerous offence i do regret it, but what ya gunna do... i still maintain that what i did wasnt reckless, prob dangerous and definatly careless but if it makes u happy Stirch9 i've sold my skyline and bought a track car so the temptation will be removed

if it's ur second offence then chances of winnin the case is very minimal. ma lawyer told me it was lucky it was ma first case otherwise he wouldn't even take on ma case

fair enough, if convicted it'll be my 1st reckless offence, but i do realise that i dont have the best chances, but what can ya do ;)

any luck finding his number?

his name is mark gunning

located on haystreet

number is 93253833

Do you speak like you type?

Oh, and allow me to translate:

Duh ya tok lahk ya tipe?

(I just thought I would throw in something to distract others from flaming Strich9!)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
