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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
