aiii public transport sux

Deal with it. Curb your driving technique and maybe you can hold onto it for longer next time round..

I am clearly not winging about my loss of license buddy. I asked for some advice on whether i should keep my car, and if so how to keep it mechanically maintained. Save the jibberish for your councilist! :argue:

Anyways, like you haven't speed before. :bs!:

Interesting the age of the posters in this thread.

Gtst89: i know you're not whinging, and i know you're copping it on the chin (no pun intended) but i mean seriously, i actually don't know your age but i am completely surprised by the amount of young ppl who had posted and all seem to have suspensions! I've been driving for 5 years, 3 on L's (you can still be an idiot on your L's) and 2 on P's. No crashes and no speeding fines, and it's very hard to find insurance. Maybe you're out of this particular age bracket, but look at the age of ppl posting above. Dudes, save it for the track, and take it off the streets, it really can't be that hard?

Sorry to hear about the loss of the license, and i know you accept it.

keep the car.

cheers

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

You said any experience or help, Its pretty obvious you need to start your car from time to time and get someone to take it for a brief drive for you.

But the best thing to do would not to loose your licence in the 1st place thats all. I know you werent winging about it, I was just stating thats all, hope that clarifys for you.. :headspin:

Cheers for the comments mate. Yeah i agree, but i can't speak for the others on here. Just myself. I encourage everyone to use the racetrack as opposed to the roads, but sometimes you just get unlucky and over excited (like when you get a new mod, you don't wait until you get to the race track to test it out). Im 21, and have had my fair share of fines and loss of demerits, but i deal with it as i bought it on myself. Some people have to learn the hard way - im learning very quickly now. Regretful in my actions i am, but screw winging - what's happened has happened.

Im keeping her. :-)

Yeah that's fine. Cheers for the advice. I do understand loosing my license in the first place would have been ideal, but in my present situation - that is not an option for me. Thanks for the feedback champ. :rofl:

gtst89 i understand your pain im going into court to contest a charge....i got done on the 23rd Jan 2004 driving down victoria road. The fine was for exceeding 45km/h in a 60 zone and also i had no green p plates on, to make matters worse i got done during double demerit weekend. It was a monster amount of points i think im looking at 9-12 months off the road as well.

Anyone that has lost it before, you think it pays to keep driving but to stay off the main roads?? and not during double de-merits....and maybe mum drive the line and ill drive her saab haha.

Exactly!! come guys, help give us a youngins a better name than what we've already got.

I was quoted $2500 full comp for a friggen 1991, Nissan Pulsar hatchback!!! :)

Slow it down!!

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!!!!

this is so true.

all to do with the price of skylines dropping so young fags can now afford them.

SS8 i await the period till you lose your licence for a bullshit offence... Cos thats what happend to me... The reason why all these young drivers on the streets have suspensions for is because of the 5 point rule and the obvious discrimination by police to find things against imported and modified cars! I have lost my licence because of an offence i commited last year (holding a mobile not talking on it) and this 3 points was counted towards the new law brought out this year.. Interesting how vicroads can enforce retrospective laws... I drive responsibly and i am sitting at home without a licence right now, the last day i drove my car i got pulled over 2 times in 4 mins for no reason...if the cops want to get you, they get you case closed.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
