apparently its like 6 points for eating or drinking while driving.

That's a bloody outrage. :) That's the equivalent of 2 excessive noise fines on the old scale. The only reason you notice this is that it effects you. You would be amazed what sort of crazy laws get passed. Back when I was involved with Amnesty international you'd hear of both the major parties passing all sorts of laws that gave police and border control greater powers many of them being totally unjustified. The major parties would gag debate on the topic, and then the mainstream media wouldn't run with it. makes you wonder.

lol - it would be..

yeah, i was just thinking of buying a car for around $1000 that can get me around when i don't want to drive the skyline, and if i'm driving to the coast a few days a week. Will also come in handy when its at the panel shop being made to look sex again.

I've got a little more debt to go before I start looking for a cheap car. But after I got to drive an old subaru around the other night (soft suspension can drive over speedbumps at 30kph. Try doing that in a skyline) I really want something to drive to the shops or leave parked wherever for extended periods of time.

yeah.. sometimes its a real hassle driving the liner.. just worried some shit is going to happen to it all the time.. speed bumps, fools who can't drive, etc.

Ends up saving you money in the end really. By the time you look at the petrol costs, general wear and tear on the skyline, and everything else over a year or so, it doesn't really cost you much.

Hi James,

I think I left a forum page open at work yesterday when i locked my workstation, so it prolly seems like I'm logged in 24 hours a day.

Did you catch up with JL on the highway last night?

lol.. thats why i created this thread :D 'cause that one was degrading into a wasteland anyhow.. But you can go dig it if you like mindflux.

What did you do to your car Gordon?

door + truck.. months ago, i just haven't had a chance to get it painted as I've been too poor. But things are looking up so will get it done in a couple of weeks.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
