Hey if i got caught doing 100+ in a 60 zone it would serve me right too!!!

I recently got done for 80 in a 60 zone downhill in a work car, because i was in a bad mood and not concentrating. It was bloody stupid and serves me right for not concentrating.

What sort of area was it in?

i've been on 1 points for the last 14 months, and yes the laws are a joke atm. i think it's an undermine policy to get all of us into public transport. as for my last point it's only in danger if i pull over and yes i do speed on the rd and i'm not ashame about it. FARK the law. and anyone here think that they don't speed,is being a hyprocrite.

i travels a fair bit doing my day time job and i can tell u one thing speed is a cause of some srioues accidents and have claim lives, but nothing evens remotely come close to inexperience, and by tightening the speed limits get the whole community in one go, but it will never removes the attrition rate. we are humans in the end. and to treat humans as a constant and getting results is the same as the likelyhood of seeing the pope giving birth to a son.

james... all you do is whinge about your loss of license.. dont think you can comment.

and in not all cases does 100 in a 60 zone take much loss of concentration. I was doing 108 in a 60 zone.. i over took a car doing 40 and pulled back in and was doing that speed. Was actually an 80 zone, but we r waiting to go to court on that one still..

anyway - its true if u do the crime u do the time.... no harm in whingiing tho :)

yeah i was done for 157 ina 60 zone 2 years ago, and got my license suspended for 1 day and $350 fine.

i got done for 112 in a 60 zone, which is 8 points,6 months and $700. Then got caught doing 80 BEFORE the 80 sign on the ramp for the icb.

yes i was speeding, but ****ing hell if you know how stressful things have been for me in the last 2 months you would have killed yourself.

but now I have time to play computer games, work only 12 hour days(im at work now btw) and not able to get up to the police station to pay my fines because i cant afford to get a taxi everywhere.

It's an arrestable offense when u don't pull over and gun it up the rd, and if u have made the choice never look back and get as far away as possible from ur last point of contact, and also prolly pay to visit a local park or nearest town house complex.

anyone made that choice? I know I did once, saw a patrol car going the other way on a two land divided road. We made eye contact, I saluted :upurs: and planted it...just kidding, We both knew he cought me speeding but I had a median strip between us, so I took about 5 turns into a residential area, straight up someones driveway into there carport, headlights off, head down, sparked up a smoke. :)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
