that sucks , why did they pull you over were you cutting lanes and drifting in and out of traffic?. 0.02 is for a reason you havent been driving for long and if i remember back when i got my p's even within 9 months I was still inexperienced and not the most confident on the road, its not about whether you know the road rules but how different things affect your driving, such as increasing your reaction time through alcohol . I was fearful of drink driving for about 2 years and didnt drink at all , booze effects people in different ways and while i feel for you being 23 and probably able to hold your liquour your still to inexperienced to have an inhibitor like that in your system why still learning the road.

this summons to court will that go on your record if your found guilty ? is it a criminal offence? i dont know how is that going to affect you later in life thats what i would be worried for , if it is criminal ask for a spent conviction . That sucks about your insurance too will make it hard for you to get it again with anybody!

he may have had a run in with the law over this drinking issue , But a lot of you have had your licences suspended for 3 - 12 months and longer for stupid speeds 200+ down city streets or highways

tell me what is more dangerous?

Personally, I find that I need to dump the 'chute about 100 metres before Milligan Street, otherwise I overshoot the car park entrance 'coz the brakes just won't hold her at these speeds!!!!!!!!

WTF? :bs!: Speak for yourself, pal. I have had my Skyline for nearly 18 months and not got a ticket for anything (I am sure there is time though!). Mind you, I am a boring old git who never gets it on boost. Perhaps that's why the back tires are looking a bit sad ........... :Oops:

Cheers.

Crikey !! Is this Assh#le week?

Give the guy a break and save the holier than thou attitude for those who want to hear it guys.

Technically he broke the law yes but if he hadn't been on his "P's" all would have been fine.

It's not like he plays for the eagles and tried to outrun the cops.

he cant come on here thinkin we're all going to agree with him. imagine if u knew somebody who lost their life to a drink driver, u'd be pretty piped up about it.

outrun cops, hmm looks like its the thing to do these days. hmm wheres that killer gtr thread gone.

Mark33 :bs!: i saw some sau hills cruise pics of speedos on 180 etc. anyway i think controlled 180km/h sober driving on quiet roads is safer than drink driving. i saw a drink driver lose control on the freeway going speed limit on the weekend, couldnt keep the car straight and binned it into a barrier.

Well when i used to go on the rollerboyz cruises it was a pretty common issue of people getting caught after doing 160kmh in some 60, 70 or 80 zone. my worst is 11kmh over so control the lead foot pretty well.

But the drink thing is a touchy issue cause i've driven after only a couple drinks for the night like the ad says and i've doused it with alot of water and food so i'd be pissed if i followed the advice and then still got done for DD.

I'm told 0.05 you can't even notice it.

if i ever have to drive when me and mates go out, its 2 drinks max for me, thats what this guy would have had, but i know some ppl that after 2 drinks they are like i am after 10, so it effects ppl different ways, but thats the law, you have to abide by it, i do feel for him a bit cause as R34 said, if it were one of us NOT on P Plates, nothing would of happened......

BUT the laws the law

my 2c

  • 2 weeks later...

Good to hear mate that the insurance hasn't been affected. Please consider it as a warning as to how bad it could of been, obviously being a minute amount on your P's and all but i think from reading over your thread ya get the general consensus.

Happy and Safe driving and you will find as time goes on the $1600 will come down... well more than likely ....

Just car is very expensive though....

i got a quote for a pretty modified Gts turbo and and they didnt want much... i think it was 1600...

and im 19 .. just off my P's 30 % ncb.

no previous driving infrigements etc

and yeah for excess it was like 300 bucks or something. then on TOP of that... if i had mags... another 400.... and if i had bodykit.. another 300 ... so on and so fourth...

all up... if i had a prang... i would have to pay out roughly 2200 BEFORE they would pay anything... thats what i worked it out to be anyways.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
