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. :)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
