Finally onto my open licence and without loosing a point !!!

Sure I drove a non-turbo silvia for the first 1 1/2 years and a gts-t skyline for the remainder. I've had fines and warnings for stupid things likes driving without headlights on and driving "erratically" - before the new laws were passed.

I guess i've had some luck with speeding fines but other than that I drive quite sensibly.

How many of you guys are on your opens? and in which state?

Yeah, I have been on my opens for 6 yrs now, have had plenty of fines and had my license suspended once. All this while driving minis and geminis. In the two years of Skyline ownership I haven't lost a point, oh yeah have never been in an accident either.

That is almost identical to my story! 8 years with a license, last 2 being with the Skyline. I spent the last 2 years working out of town (so not quite a field tech), and therefore did a huge amount of driving - yet I have never lost a single point on my license, had any parking tickets or any accidents. I have been pulled over for speeding a couple of times though (once was 30km/h over in an 80 zone and he let me off cos it was late and it was a straight road)

I've only copped 1 canary - but for me it was on my Skyline :(

ive just lost my liscence for the third time, im on a good behavour liscence, which is 2 points for one year instead of doing the time, when i do get my liscence back i have to do 3months automatic suspension for 45and over, and then they take a further 9 points of my new licence when i get it back, if i dont do anything wrong, by mid 2006 i should have a full 12points, what can u do but slow down, im lucky because they wanted to take me to court and reveiw my licence and take it away from me for three years due to having 3 or more major fines in a space of three years, over 45, burnout, etc, ive got three burnout, two over 45

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
