yer i know hey it is a joke

The point that may have escaped you is that lauding such behaviour or otherwise condoning it on here will:

a) Give the wrong message to the younger, less experienced and impressionable forum members, who would then be encouraged to go out and speed/kill themselves/kill innocent passers-by; and

b) Demonstrate to Police/society at large/Today Tonight editors (for even they can read) that a) is true and we are all a bunch of hoons.

So, Yes, SkyRyan, everyone is young and stupid once, but to demonstrate that neither a) nor b) is correct, older, wiser and, let's face it, far better looking people than you will tell you to keep it on the track. We don't claim to be saints, but we do aim to do the right thing. Because, by doing so, we protect our own interests as well.

So get over it. Its what happens on these forums. Just put it down to learning, so that you will be less stupid, but still young, alive and able to enjoy it!

Cheers. :banana:

considering the amount of flaming and the fact that you posted up at all i think youve learned that what you were doing was not the smartest move youve ever made (i relate)

so lets get down to the question if it was only a red light and it had film expect a fine in some months time

if it was a speed camera id be expecting a summons or if they decide it was really dangerous a nock on the door

best advice dont bs take it on the chin and learn from it

Given the state of traffic fine enforcement at the moment, your not gonna see the fine for 6 months... let the waiting begin

I'd say at least 6 months before the beauracratic morons post you the 'state revenue tax collection notice'. So you may as well enjoy driving for the next 6 months & not worry too much. My guess is that you got pinged at less than 40 k's over the limit so probably 4 points & $250.

I love how all the do gooders on here toe the official line re. 'speed kills'. Funny how civilised countries like Germany have unlimited speed zones and a fraction of the road kill per head of population as we do.

More Multinova = more state revenue$$....simple. Most of the 'road kill' fell asleep at the wheel and/or forgot to buckle up. Look at the little crosses on straight roads in front of big trees next time you take a drive in the country.

yea i read everyones point of view hahah dont worrie i am stupid but yea wat can u say u only liv once and experience and learn stuff day in and day out like i said this is my first offence i have all 12 points goodie goodie :blink: just rong time and place i guess and c'mon guys/girls who hasnt been done prob not in the same postion as me but i think 95% of imports i see on the road are always keen on a bit of boost!!!

but yea i understand that its a lesson in life and i aint goin to f^&k wid the goverent heheh coz they will f+$k me over twice as hard hehehe i just go wid the flow if i losse it it was for a reason money is not the issue but yea my licence is heheh looks like a bus hear n there is goin to be back in place reminds me of skool hehehe anyway gives me more time to save and do up my car :rofl:

it was a infared camera (multinova night) sorry i thought they were called red light but i foun out that they are the stationary ones at sets of lights soo yea.....

This is my point, other users will read this post and think twice before street racing and killing some one (hopefully not as i wish this on no one.)

As far as i am aware (and someone can correct me if i am wrong) but im from Victoria (yes another east cost person), all the mobile cameras are infrared over there and the point of this is so there is NO flash. The one that got you must have different globe init for night because if you saw a flash, its not an infrared camera.

It wasn't the wrong place at the wrong time. There is no right place to drive like a %^*&wit on the road. Please think about that.

What you may not realise is that if you get done at the high end of the speed/fines range it will have a number of knock on effects other than just a fine up to and including:

Loss of licence with all the hassle that having to walk everywhere entails.

The prospect of very few points remaining on your licence for a number of years.

Removal of your car for a period (Now a week for first up offence)

Higher insurance premiums for years to come.

More negative publicity for your fellow Skyline owners.

So it isn't just a case of paying a fine & moving on. The system doesn't let you get away with it that easilly.

If you want to get involved with some motorsport try the AHG group near the airport or the no limits group mentioned in an earlier post. This is a safe, legal & enormously fun way to test your car & your skill. The first up experience of running on the track is usually a sobering one. It demonstrates to people how little they actually know.

The point that may have escaped you is that lauding such behaviour or otherwise condoning it on here will:

a) Give the wrong message to the younger, less experienced and impressionable forum members, who would then be encouraged to go out and speed/kill themselves/kill innocent passers-by; and

yes i condone all the young people to go and kill themselves, and everyone one around them at the same time. As long as you dont kill me or anyone i know i dont care. This is such a ridiculous "discussion" do as you please in your car everyone knows the possible consequence's of ther actions, and if they dont then maybe they need to read that awesome gossip mag they call the paper. The "Joke" i was referring to was the amount of people that come out and state the obvious and act like they have never had one infringment ever.

FORUM SAINT: hey man omg you idiot do you know that when you where speeding you could have crashed!! And/or killed yourself or lost your licence your crazzy.

DRIVER : Do you think i never knew that? and needed to be told? All i asked was what my penalty might have been for going over the limit while i was chopping this hairdressers car.

Oh dear, where to start.

The point is that even if you or your friends or your familly aren't killed you are still affected. You are affected by higher insurance premiums, by higher third party insurance on your rego, you are affected every time you get pulled over by the cops for no good reason, you are affected every time someone makes an ignorant comment about "hoon" cars that pisses you off, you are affected every time Grank fkn Dorrington's self righteous gobshite gets puts on the news. But mostly you are affected because the unrelenting focus on "hooning" etc distracts the police and the government from focussing on doing something effective about the number of people killed on our roads, ie the likelihood that it will be one of your familly or friends... Need I go on?

Yes it is obvious that driving like an idiot on the roads is a very bad idea. Yet people still continue to do it. So other than pointing out their stupidity & encouraging them to do the right thing what can you do? Certainly not support them & certainly not give the impression the SAU or Skyline owners in general condone or are indifferent to this sort of carry on.

I sincerely hope no one here is killed or badly injured. I know from having it happen to people I care for that it is an absolutely awful waste.

So maybe think about that for a little bit.

best thing about these threads is the people that become key board warriors and say dont street race blah blah blah, but then on the next car cruise those exact people are doing 180+ with other cars hahaha,

so far iv seen 5 people on here that are guilty of that sinse iv started using these forums :laughing-smiley-014:

It really doesnt effect me i dont care about paying for insurance which i dont think is going up because of a few incidents and even if it was i sincerly doubt it would be that much to even worry about. That is like people that complain about the price of petrol who cares it is a necessity that you have to have, no matter how much you complain it wont stop rising(just like the more people that start getting there licence the more people on the road and inevitably insurance would go up as well, with out isolated incidents like people speeding in foreign cars to boost it up) Comments about hooning dont mean much i find them quite funny actually, iam not a hoon i have only lost one point ever for 80 in a 70 and that 70 zone use to be an 80 north lake road so it doesnt bother me, i would probably be more of a hoon in a escort rather than a skyline. if you are susceptible to things such as you have mentioned - 10$ increase in your premium - people calling you a hoon - lame news articles.

Then god knows what you would do if someone pulled up next to you and wanted to race...you just might have to haha :D but iam sure you never have.

maybe i just dont take driving a imported car as seriously as i should because i dont heed all these warnings and properganda.

Lighten up man i think there are bigger issues in perth and around the world than those god damn street racers.

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • 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.
