touch wood  

*reaches down pants*

i think i am the only member of the 'hasn't had a fine or lost a demerit point' club

:(:)

I think there would be a few of us around. Ive had my skyline for almost a year now and have not had any trouble with the police.

Ive been pulled over twice for speeding and been let off both times, but both were only minor (72 in a 60 zone the worst).

But maybe its because i have a pretty stock car which isnt too loud, and im off my Ps now.

My younger brother has been without a license for around six years now - he only had it for a total of six months (suspended 3?? or 4?? times) before that. Something like $20k or $25k in fines. I saw a photo of his car blu-tacked to the dash of a parked cop car too... :eek: Thankfully he's seen the error of his ways, but he's still paying off the fines, and will be for a while yet...

I've been fined for unregistered which, to the letter of the law, was right, but I drove the car around a traffic island in front of my house to make sure that the clutch I'd just adjusted was taking up right. 20m from home, on a street that sees maybe 25 cars a day... thankfully the SS cop car valve bounced down the street at twice the speed limit and nearly ran into me, and saved the busload of school kids that I was no doubt endangering :D $480 later...

The only other fine I have is undue noise, which was $130 iirc and no points (it was classed as "involuntary undue noise"). I've just been lucky not to have more fines, but not driving like a tool helps!

hmm MSPEC, perhaps its that WANG of yours that attracts all the attention? oh and that black soot trail on your rear bumper lol :thumbsup:

I reckon they only target you if you have something noticable.

Oh and where'd you get that print out, is that your bank statement? or does civic compliance keep a listing?

Ive had my skyline for a couple of months now and havent had any trouble with fines yet. I had more trouble with fines and stuff when i was drivin my old POS Now that i have a fast car its like i dont have to prove it or something

i lost my license once in my 180sx (and a huge loss that was lol 6mnth suspension plus back to L's and 700 dollar fine). and once in my R32 for goin at 92 in a 60 zone (coz I was in Uni and late for class grrr).

only car I haven't lost any points in is my dad's corolla and my first car a Toyota Sera

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
