guys last night i lost my licence.. and it wasnt in my skyline.. im up to about 700 ish in fines and lost 8 points. which leaves me on negative 6 or so points. well i lost it for 12 months and im not happy.. and im not proud.. i prolly deserve it in sum way.

any how i need to sell my skyline or hide it from the world for 12 months. (save up for mods). Okay the question is.. if i was to leave it at home wat should i do with it.? I dont have a garage to put it in. (to much stuff in it). im guessing buy a cover.. also should i disconnect the battery and drain all the petrol and oil out..? or should i start it once in a while.. "just thinking about this is soo depressing..? 27 days to go i guess. any 1 been in the same situation? 12 months is soo far away. :D

You've either got a long time to sell it, or put on a cover and just start it twice a week for a few mins. Problem is with heavy rain the cover will tend to just stick to the car, after a while that might damage the paint. Rust or even mildew type stuff can also build up under the cover also. Car covers aren't really ideal, especially for a long time.

Tyres will tend to go also if rims are not removed and not put on blocks. So either put some crappy tyres on there, or be prepared to buy 4x new tyres in 12 months.

not exactly legal is it? You shouldn't be encouraging illegal type activities, especially as an Administrator.

:werd: driving while disqualified will just get you in more shit when you get caught. Cop only has to be sitting behind you and run your plates and you've had it.

I would not be complaining. I have lost my licene before and spent over $3000 in fines (including couple parking)... I now lost my licence again and have $2500 in fines and -19 points. 16th is my last licenced day for ages and 12th is my last day with my rego on my skyline cause the assholes at the state debt have cancelled it! Trust me dont drive with no licence, it only takes a minute to get caught and the end result is not 2 good trust me! I am building my car up to run 12's and when i get my licence back i will look back at this and hopefully have learnt.

thanks for the feed back. i just went and got a road worthy to sell my car.. lots of defects.. gona cost me heaps... if i wanna sell it. also got about 500 bux in fines..

now if i leave my car in the garage and dont pay for the rego thats coming up shortly, it will be cancelled right? and to re register it i just need to umm get a rdw? and pay the rego fee?

i also have many things i need to do to it to get it "roadworthy" before i start moding it..

some defects found by the stupid mechanic

* Battery.. to be covered.. wtf..? He was surprised to see it in the boot!

* Secure Air filter.. I tied it down wit umm black clicky strips.. he thinks its not secure.

* Gearshift knob.. OMG come on just cos u cant slightly see gear 2 and 4 inprinted on it.. :@

* Wiper Blades.. so very unsafe for ur car..

* Exhaust too loud.. he said that cos he heard me rock up :D

* Tiny little crack in my windscreen that i saw for the first time ...

thats the last time im ever going there..

What sorta kvnt is this?

My car is exactly the same. You need to find someone who'll pass you without an inspection.

It's your decision really. If you want the car, you'll need a blue slip most likely to prove it's roadworthy and it's not a rebirth or something along those lines.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
