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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
