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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
