i do have my facts straight.

dangerous driving is worse, u can lose ur license for up to 12months and fined up to 2k & it goes on ur criminal record.

True with dangerous if the judge is nice, he can let u off without loss of licence and a minimum of $6## fine and u have to pay $200 court costs.

wreckless is lose licence and fine.

u decide which is worse, i'd rather not have a criminal record.

been there done that

ok well i only just spoke to a lawyer bout it on monday. So i think ill take the lawyer an judges word for it b4 you... are you from wa maybe the laws are different were you are

I had few police clearances over the years and my Dangerous charge has never shown :closedeyes:

Pretty sure only the 2nd dangerous driving charge will show up, and thats still on Judges dudication so there is a chance it wont show up on your record then even. That I know for a fact as friend has been through it. :laugh:

If the police didnt see the incident plead not guilty, you have to be proven guilty before you can be charged.

Just deny the whole thing in court, so what if there was dust u could have been making a u turn :P

lolwut? you can be charged before proven guilty, that's what court is for - if you are found guilty you have been convicted.

wtf is dudication?

I still think they should have some empty tarmac 'carparks' around perth (obviously not near houses) for 'hoons' to go to and do burnouts for free. Just whack a sign on the entry saying the driver is responsible for any damage/injury/loss of life to cover their arse from a lawsuit. Would keep a few of them from doing it in suburbs at midnight or later.

Anyway you were very unlucky, you were trying to be safe by doing it in an empty carpark at a time when nobody was around (except the plod!). Of course the court/law won't give a crap about that.

ouch, sucks that your car got impounded..

As stupid as hoon laws are I guess they're there for a reason..

The other week I was at a set of traffic lights and took off a bit fast and may have gone a little bit (10-20 tops) over the speed limit.. undercover cops saw this and pulled me up, I denied doing it, they had no proof so all I got was a yellow sticker. they did give me a warning for reckless driving though..

so if you deny it and they have no proof there may not be much that they can do..

This is exactly why you dont do burnouts in a public place, or do them where anyone might see them for that matter.. you probably got dobbed in by some old lady who couldnt get to sleep.. hope u didnt lose ur license

Man doing Donuts in a gravel carpark is a no no in a nice car like a Skyline. Think of all the Gravel chips and shit being hurled toward your paint and rims. Leave that sort of driving for VN Crappadores

to true mate, no fvcking way would i do skids on gravel.

i was at a intersetion last sat wen some asshole decided 2 do a burnout in front of my gay vs commonhore an smoked the street an i went threw the smoke next thing u no im being pulled over an there tryin 2 sting me 4 doin burnouts lucky i have alot wider tyres an lsd so i was let go but they still gave me a warning :blink:

I think everyone is mostly missing the point here. You did a skid and confessed to it so you deserve to lose your license. Going on what have seen with my mates that have been convicted under the hoon laws, you will lose your license for 6-9 months and recieve some stupidly large fine (somewhere between $700-1000), which is the going rate atm.

ok well i only just spoke to a lawyer bout it on monday. So i think ill take the lawyer an judges word for it b4 you... are you from wa maybe the laws are different were you are

Do you have any pics of the location?

Perhaps a pic of you at the location?

Many thanks,

Tj pennyfarthing the third.

LOL thats not a "stupidly large fine "

The magnitude of the fine does not match the severity of the crime IMO...

You'd have to be doing like 50km/h over the speed limit to get a fine like that... yet doing burnouts in a parking lot attracts the same penalty... Yep they correlate perfectly. :D

My closest brush with "the hoon law" was when i gave this bloke a street race, we both flew past this cop sitting on the side of the road and he pulled us both over and we both got let off with a warning :D .

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
