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.

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.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
