I am sort of new to the skyline scene

2 years owner and 6 months or so on SAU forum

I would love nothing more than to go for a cruise with

a whole bunch of other skylines/imports...except maybe

sex with a whole bunch of Brazilian dancers.

But all I picture in my head is Sergeant Wanker

rubbing his hands together as he sees/hears a dozen BOVs

scream by.

As I have never been hassled b4 I don't want a defect

just to get my rocks off on a cruise

You know just because youre paranoid

doesn't mean theyre not after you!!!!

Well thats the risk you take if your gonna do something stupid.

On the few cruises i've been on, I've never been pulled over.

Even if I was theres nothing actually illegal with my car.

you must be in the minority

I reckon 90% imports would/could be defected

I don't mean driving silly either

just the fact theres numbers

Cruises are fun

Chances there is a more of a bunky silvia ( like mine ) they would like to pull over more than your car

Dont stress!!!

Its so much fun, and all the people are really awsome! Ive met some of the most nicest people on cruises!

Oh and dont drive like a spoon and your safe ( thumbs up )

i think you've been watching to much ignition dvd or some shit

most of the time they wont come out and say HEY IM GONNA DEFECT EVERYONE HERE

only when there abused

bulk fun to be had and plenty of nice people!

Public cruises can be an issue due to a minority of hero's showing how cool they are by spinning the wheels at every take off etc....or prooving how tough they are by mouthing off at the police who attend to see whats going on.

We do SAUWA members only cruises....good bunch of guys all driving Skylines (with the odd Stagea, silvia and 350z), no hero's and no problems from the boys in blue.

In fact on a members cruise if that was to happen, the person involved would be told to leave immediately!

This sounds like the option I should take

Maybe I'll have to join

cruises are dead to me. I'd estimate 10k to clear a defect.

The last cruise i went on was the ignition DVD Hillary's cruise and we all know how that turned out. Was lucky not to be defected for my 19's.

Now my GTR has a stroker motor, T04Z, 550hp, full cage, etc etc etc I'd have no hope.

Hopefully this whole hoon bullshit will blow over and i'll be able to drive my car again without having to pull into a shopping centre and hide every time i see a cop car behind me.

we ll as everyone knows a full cage is not street legal so your car shouldn't even be on the road so if you get picked up it's your own fault

and as for 19's i don't think so

law been in for 3 years 1.5 RULE R32 GTR CAN GO TO 20X10 LEGAL SIZE RIMS

Edited by gazza750

Gazza im 99% sure thats incorrect.

You cant increase front/rear track by a certain amount and generally cant increase the width past the widest available on the highest model of the car.

i.e. 8 inch wide on the GT-R

Rolling Diameter cant by increased by more than 2 inches.

Its something like this.

You cant increase the track at all on a FWD car.

I'll look into it.

if you dont act like a dick you will have no hassle and if you want to do skids etc there is a time and a place yeah there is the ocaasional police car rolling up but if you are doing nothing wrong thety either just leave or tell you to move on dont run dont be a dick and all is good see you out there

well there's the thing, you need roll cage for drags if you want to run 10's (not that i've done this yet) but it's illegal for the road. Tell me how that helps to keep drag racing at the strip?

Anyway i know it's illegal and if i get busted will cop it on the chin, i just won't be pushing my luck by going on big cruises.

As for the wheels they are 19 x 10.5. But i do have 3 sets of wheels for it anyway. :)

There's a few other defects that are just as obvious. If only the R32 GTR was made pre 1986. It's a little absurd that 3 years can make so much difference to the mods your are allowed to have. :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
