cheers hamilitonau appreciate the support.. likewise run-it-hard. there is genuine people on this forum. but there some effed up losers. like IAN.. which his mums morning after pill failed.

i got done doing 55 over the limit. stupid story. had a taxi waiting for me to head into the city. mates were bustin my chops. and stupidly enough i sped. ive learnt from my error and wont do it again. even in a GTR .

55 dude. before doing that i woulda stopped and said to my "mates" would you rather get out and wait?

Lol, we've all done that shit at some point of time in our lives, pity you got caught though. At least you've learnt your lesson, and expensive one too, i'd reckon.

OP's new avatar is wheel boobs!!! lol jokes

But to answer your question, I'd take the 3 months and save the petrol and maintenance money, then after 3 months, dump it back into the car on parts and upgrades :D

Ive never made a report before on SAU, but in this instance I know I did the right thing.

OP - Look outside your square, one day you'll realize how immature you're being in regards to the avatar/profile picture.

ouch, most i have been done for is 35 over, im sure i was lased at over that but never got stuck for the full whack. The cop must have missed his donuts that day, still pretty crazy speed to do on the street, im assuming it was a freeway at least?

40 over ? Don't stop.

dont stop? unless your on a Hayabusa or some crazy bike they will chase you to the ends of the earth on a freeway, its only through a couple of red lights and school zones at 40 that they will call it off, not worth the risk IMHO.

plus outside of NFS hot pursuit and GTA i just cant bring myself not to obey the law. .well at least once I have their attention..

was a 4 laned road. not wet. no cars. industrial estate (no housing where little kids can run out.. with a stupid 70 speed limit. i know it was still stupid but i new my surroundings before risking other peoples lives. but anyway we live and learn

tangles get the f over it . that was likeeee soooooooo 2 pages ago like oh maaaa gawd like full draining it

they are supposed to give chase to 160 then stop, often they don't but if anything goes wrong they are in big poo poo.

Most skylines I've driven will do 160 in 3rd, easy.

Just as long as its not somewhere ludicrous IE in a school zone etc you should only ever been worrying about that sort of speed on the motorway/industrial park/salt flat anyway, you know, time and place and all ?

I mean really, if your speeding anything over sort of 10 up in a built up area where you cannot possibly predict what is coming from where, you deserve to get hung anyway.

In saying this, drive to the conditions, how most speed limits are selected is a very arbitrary process anyway so I guess you could say that if that's as much thought as the people in charge put into the speed limits of various areas then they can't be surprised when people give the limits that same level of thought on their way to work every day.

People are still going to speed anyway, we'll probably have a larger amount of road deaths this year then last, judging by the figures, which I guess shows the effectiveness of the various speed enforcement programs around the country

Moral of the story, you can generally feel what is a safe and acceptable limit for the road your driving on, it won't be the same for all drivers and all cars, but I guess that's what situational awareness is for, drive to conditions and that includes the drivers around you.

i wouldn't say they do it easy. they might do it, but they would be bashing on the limiter. a commodore or falcon would be close to doing it in 3rd as well. in fact i think the missus SSS would be close to doing it in 3rd as well as the gear ratios in it are pretty close to that of a skyline.

Was just about to post this also!

I had the same thing happen to me years and years ago, had the option of 1 pt or 3 month suspension, took the 1 pt suspension and drove sedately for a year, by the time the year was over I had completely forgotten about the 1 pt and didn't realise until a couple months after I had my full 12 pts back. As mentioned if you choose the 1 pt option, you are not classified as having a license suspension (which sticks with you for 5 years btw before insurers no longer ask), it's already hard enough to get insurance having a modified import, try doing it with a license suspension on top of that...

I was going to suggest that you take the 1 pt option for a year for the same reason above (ie insurance premiums go sky high if you've lost your licence), until you posted up that you've lost it before!

Your past is following you I'm afraid.

I've only ever driven fairly quick ones, so my viewpoint is no doubt skewed.

wish the skylines had a closer ration box tbh.

Didn't read anything but posting anyway. 1 point can be lost for almost any reason. If you buy an R34 GTR, chances are you may get pulled over and probably defected. 1 point gone.

im pretty sure in Melbourne you don't get demerit points for defects

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
