And for some' date=' the thrill of doing crazy shit is worth more than the possibility of getting caught. Its hard to explain to some, but I know the sort of thing, you know its wrong and yet you can't help it because its a rush and releases all those crazy endorphins and things which you can actually get hooked on as much as any drug. So you do it more and more to get that same rush. Anyhow, I leave that to the psychologists out there - but for some types of people its just what happens and why you get serial Base Jumpers and shit like that, that know they'll get caught but do it anyhow. And its not simply a matter of "shouldn't", "wrong", etc.

AHaahaha thats exactly the sorta thing the pysch said.it wasnt like i was sneaking around, i was driving down the road damn well knowing that what i was doing was wrong.And saying hey here i am come catch me.It is like i love the adrenaline.its kinda of like a stress release i used to do it with fighting but nearly went to prison for assaults.Also on bikes but i cant ride them anymore so i turned it to high speeds and dumb shit in my car.I am some kind of adrenaline junkie now i just gotta find a new outlet.I was having a big sook last night on my previous post.was wrecked.not gonna give up my passion for cars but am gonna sell my 34 and definatly not drive on public roads till end of my suspension.So who want to my a r34 or some mad goodies then aye????????

and for somebody who is actually a reasonable aussie bloke

High speed bike adventures on public roads, repeated licence suspensions and ignoring the law TWICE and driving anyway, on the brink of a jail sentence for driving offences, on the brink of a jail sentence for assault charges...... sounds like a top "aussie bloke".

And for some, the thrill of doing crazy shit is worth more than the possibility of getting caught.

You think the rest of us aren't hooked on the same adrenaline rushes? Some people on SAU own MUCH more powerful cars than he does... Imagine the rush they/we get when nailing the throttle. If he's addicted to the feeling, compare that to what they/we feel...

The difference is, some of us are mature enough to take it off the roads and experience that "rush" and "crazy endorphins" on the racetrack.

edit: Anyway, I'm glad you didn't get jail time... Doesn't really fit the crime when you consider everything else happening out there. Sounds like it might have done you some good though hs.gif

i used to do it with fighting but nearly went to prison for assaults

Dystany is on your side! Cause I do big mouth thugs for free, with a smile. Your really sounding more & more like a real cok-a-roach filled with fruit loops. Looks like I'm gunna have to pay up that $100 bucks to SAU!

Merli you sound like a real arse wipe always ready to jump on peoples back about doing the wrong thing. You never learned a lesson the hard way?? ?never made mistakes and learnt from them? It’s called life u arrogant prick. As for being mature I heard it comes with age. Now from my mistakes I have learnt a lesson. Save it for the track. The point of this thread was to try and persuade some younger drivers to not go down the same track as I have and show them the possible outcomes of doing so. As it’s just not worth it. Most likely they haven’t got the superior sense you posses and high adrenaline producing power that is based on a kw/adrenaline scale you quoted. Now rack off to being the law abiding, upstanding, never made a mistake community role model. You perceive you are. I don’t need your input or to tell me I messed up .I already know this. If you have nothing positive to say piss back off to your perfect life.

personally i am glad u started this thread as it makes us high powered car owners think about our actions and responsibilities on the road and the possible consequences if we break rules....

lets hope there is something learnt from this thread by all who read it, there really is no need for bagging anyone, its not gonna achieve anything except create anger and hatred.

rofl.gifrofl.gifrofl.gif

I have made mistakes, and I have learned from them. But based on your comments in this thread, YOU however have not learnt anything.

"i have to give it away or i will reoffend gauranteed."?????

And you're sitting there at your computer claiming that you've learnt from your mistakes? Are you serious??? ugh2.gif

"The point of this thread was to try and persuade some younger drivers to not go down the same track as I have"

You are in no position to be persuading or influencing any younger members of our community on how to lead their lives rofl.gif

I'm not perfect, but then again I'm not stupid enough to get my licence suspended and then get caught driving during the suspension period......... TWICE rofl.gifrofl.gifrofl.gif

Oh, and you ****ed up. Learn to take the criticism. It comes with the territory and you should be used to it by now slap.gif

Hey keyboard warrior, If you read my next post i say that i was having a sook. (about the earlier post). So im not giving it away, just my car as 2 years 3 months garaged is not viable in many ways other than temptation.And i am in position to tell of my mistakes and hope younger drivers may take heed from them.its called good advice and showing the outcomes of doing the wrong thing.Learn to take criticism from you mr flame? your points being what? maturity? maturity comes with age you aint born with it thats why its called maturity.

Adrian, it aint about being mature, it & life is all about "redemption". Before your "OF ALL PEOPLE" start prophecising & preaching about good & evil, you must first "redeem yourself". In bush tucker talk, "clean your own backyard before you worry about others, there BLOKE!".

You must be kidding to say how you want others to learn... "Can you actually hear what your saying???" Mate the only thing I've learnt, is there's obviously enough room in this world for more clowns.... In no particular order the nominations for King Oscar the Clown.....are:

1. MINES_DATSUN - in the smash hit tina turner remake.. "bus stop.."

2. TOS from MCCR or whatever, who wrapped his car around the tree in QLD & took pics.

3. Adrian from SAU - Your gonna cost me $100 bucks, coz your what any normal person would call a fool who just wont learn till he's dead or kills someone else's brother, sister, mother, father...! "god forbid"

4. That 300zx - "duke of hazard" wanna be.

Mr. Flame :D :D :D

I like it!!!! Thank you!

Mr. Flame, I'm Mr. Flame, just say my name, it's Mr. Flame!!!

And why am I a keyboard warrior? I'll say the same thing to people in real life, but you obivously don't know me... What do I have to do not to be a keyboard warrior? Be arrested and convicted with assault charges? rofl.gif

Keyboard warrior????

You come onto an internet forum where people post messages they've typed with their KEYBOARDS and when you cop some critisism for you actions you immediately assume that the person on the other end is a KEYBOARD WARRIOR??? Please explain to me the logic behind that comment because it makes no sense.

As for you actions... seriously, speeding and being caught TWICE whilst suspended is not even something my 13 year old brother can comprehend as the actions of a MATURE adult.

Have you REALLY learnt your lesson or are you just posting that crap on the forums like so many other KEYBOARD WARRIORS?

Man, its amazing how self-richeous people get when they get on a public forum...

Do you go around telling junkies on the street how they should clean up their act?? Or tell people off the streets what they should and shouldn't be doing?

I don't think so...

anyhow, off the high horses.. who gives a ****. Whats done is done, none of us except him are the ones that have to deal with the consequences.

Did i say i was a mature adult?. No obviously by my actions i am fu(ked up and am maturing from the consequences. And whats wrong with your eyesight? I said i have learned my lesson and was hoping someone else could learn from my lesson or know the consequences of leading my path. but u aint interested in what im trying to say to other people, u guys seem only interested in telling someone how stupid he is and that he hasnt learnt from his mistakes and flaming him for learning the stupid and hard way.

I hope your right, and maybe this is your wake up call. But by what you've been saying, your gonna have one heck of a fight trying to stay out of trouble the next 15~whatever months... We'll just have to wait & see, coz if you fu(k it again, you are gonna be CROWNED "KING of all Clowns"... ha!

poor bastard... all i can say is lucky u werent in a VL or else u would have been locked up and had a few phone book bruises across ur forehead as well

.... honestly. i feel sorry for ya cause u got caught.. cause 9/10 people do fang theres around like idiots that we natrually are.. but only 1/100 of use really get dickedin da arse like u did..

just be lucky ur not bubbas lil bitch now i guess..

:-)

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
