Has anyone here ever lost their license for a long time? eg 12 months. Im currently fighting a dispute in court and have a feeling im going to loose, which will result in 12 months suspension. My biggest worry is, what will i do with my car? Is it worth keeping a car for 12 months and bomb it? Or selling it and buying something else when i get my license back.

Im worried about how the car will keep after being in the driveway and unused for so long?

Any experience in this situation or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I love my car :):(:) Would be so heartbreaking to have to sell it.

I lost mine for 15-18 months, still waiting for the RTA to process all the fines and come up with a period cause i have lost count. I am keeping mine for sure and still have another year to go. Its not worth selling and buying one later on, you may get another skyline and just buy someone else's problem. If your car runs good and you are happy with it i would keep it. Save some cash in the year and build it up to a 300kw monster!

Dude I wouldnt worry so much, trust me, things change, when I lost my licence, everyone with Skyline's were champions, top people, and I lost my licence for 9 mths, as soon as I got back into it, the sheer atmoshpere had changed, and there were Skylines everywhere, and everyone who seemed to have bought em were wankers, and I'll be honest, some people who did buy em are even in these forums!!!!

haha, man that's inspriation. Yeah us no-license people just have to deal with it. We bought it on ourselves (with the help of dog police). But **** it, im not selling my car. I start her up every 2nd day for a few mins, and get my gf to drive it on the w/end (with me in it of course haha) to stretch her legs.

Kinda makes me feel a bit better to know im not the only one.

Might be worth while buying a radar detector for round two in another 12 months. :headspin:

I think we should start a "no-license club" hahahaha, could all trade ideas of 'other things to do without a license'. Example, "hey man, there's this wikked new porno out on dv....*cough*"... :D

Im so bored. Friday night and i could be driving and socializing. And to make me feel even worse...

ITS RAINING.

gtst89 in the last 2 months i have started gym fulltime :D and dude the way things are going im gona be ripped this summer.. and wen winter kicks back in ill get my licence.... i hate not driving and i have started making turbo noises as i walk (lol) ohh well i hope the cops stop this blitz that is in victoria... i would hate to loose my licence straight away after i get it back.. just to see wat my car can do... u know

haha the next time i get attempted to be pulled over im gona do a major run from the cops.. like wat u see in america.. hahah so then u will all hear about it :D that seems like a good idea.. wen u hear the sirens.. make a run for it, hahah thats classic. like nicolas cage, didnt he get let off for driving the gt500 like a maniac in gone in 60 seconds? ay

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
