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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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.
