Hi guys

i just got home from my court case and im pleased and not pleased with my result, lemme start from the beggining so yous know my story june 4th i was comming down heatherton road in dandenong and turning onto princess hwy its 3 lanes extending into 4, it about a 90 degree turn maybe a ltitl emore room anywya it aint to difficult due to so many lanes anyway it was a wensday night about 1 am and no1 was on the road so i thought mad a nice time to practise some of my drifting, anyway i excelerated abit took the corner reasonably if i might add for my driving skill and to my suprise when i fully turned the corner and straigtend up a police vechele was hiding on the side i guess probly trying to mesure speed, and as u would prosume there lights went on and pulled me over, to cut a long stoy short i was summunsed to court and they said, theyll give me 3 things to do if i Pleed guilty i wont loose my licence so i agreed they were, (1 write an apology letter to the arresting officer for endangering his life due to drivers stupidity. may i add i was nowhere near him. 2) pay a "valenteery" fee of $100 to any charity of my choice 3) and take a safe driving coarse. and show then all this by sept 15th which isnt even a month away

so the purpose of all this was to ask u guys do you know any safe driving school i rang aami they qoueted me like $275 for 2 hours using my car and racv $205 using there vechicle but they have a 4 wekk waiting list and cant squeeze me in any earlier. but i highly doubt u can use a skyline for a safe driving coarse anyway. have any of you done them how much and where cheers!

there is a place in kilsyth on either liverpool or colchester road (cant remember which one) called Metec.... i was looking at going there back in the good old days when they used to give you a discount on your insurance premium for having done a 'driving' course :D last i checked it was about $175 dollars....

oh and since you dont have to walk i would say the court case went ok :)

in some senses risto you were unlucky! back when I was young and dumb I did the same thing (except the cop was coming the other way - not hiding in the bushes). He pulled me over and asked me if I knew why I was being pulled over. he told me it was because "you didnt have your indicator on. dont do it again. And dont drive like an idoit" and he let me go! And it was done leaving the pub car-park.

They're not ALL complete bastards.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
