111 in a 60 zone. lost it for 3 months. i did not drive at all by choice and it was hell. well, i was on the trains every day and we all know how pleasant that is.

now that i look back i know i benefited from loosing my licese;

i don't speed anymore (and that's not cause i drive a camry for those that feel compelled to tease me:( ).

during the 3 months i learned a fair bit about cars as i had nothing else to do.

i discovered the SDU forums and thus got involved with these forums. through that i've met 100's of ppl from all over the place. i even went to qld so i got to meet some of the guys up there. if loosing my license led to meeting everyone on here i'd do it again without any hesitation.

my car has been long gone and i might never own another skyline but i'm still here and that's cause of the friends i've made

My liscense is currently suspended because of speeding.

If you get caught driving while disqualified it's 6 months jail. No shit, my mate had to do a "bad driver's" course and they have just changed a whole lot of laws.

Not advisable at all

Anyone know what the penalty is for being caught with no licence? i was caught about a month ago and am facing court next week on tuesday, i dont care about the $$$ i just really want to know if they will suspend me for longer, (i have already lost it for 3 months). So is it just a fine or do they take your licence for a year or so? George the reason i drive is for work purposes and when it is urgent to get around i dont go cruising anymore or nothing...

I feel like shit i am getting my skyline back after 4 months in the workshop, i have payed all my outstanding fines and now i will lose my licence and recieve more major fines! it feels like i will never be able to drive my skyline again.:) :) :)

i am currently on suspension for speeding 160km/h on freeway to brissy (was going up there to see the hks gtr... arggg drag combat costed me a bit...). got pulled over twice , all up $1474 + $188. and 6 + 3 points = $1662 and 9pts i've spent to see the hks gtr...

and suspension finally finishes in 15days, though i am on 'good behaviour' term for one-whole-farking-year till 16th Nov "2003".

and for the driving whilst suspended... very risky and expensive. my cousin got caught by an undercover after he went thru 3 red lights and was speeding while he was suspended... he got nearly $5000 worths of fines and 3years of suspension... (but his record was BAD maybe it was a one-off special case...)

I lost 33 something points (its more like 36)

Anyways, lost it for 18months got it back in july.

Got pulled over once for driving while suspended.......he gave me a fine for $388.00 Driving with a expired liscence, apparently there was some mix up @ the RTA and yeh it came up as expired not suspended.

My bro just went to court recently he lost it for 3 months and on the LAST day of his suspension he was busted. Not for speeding or anything just a random thing. Went to court,

Judge" why were u driving while under suspension?"

My bro " i was going to pay off the fines so i could get my liscence back the next day"

Judge " hmm, well come back in a month show me the reciepts for the fines and i wont disqualify you"

My bro " OooooKKkkkkk......."

My brother was just lucky we had heaps of unpaid fines so we just gathered up all the fines and paid for them.

Went back to court in a month and judge let him off.

So...just lucky i guess it happens.

Sux though, can't drive your beloved car, then all the deep thoughts get ya "wats the point of driving such a fast car" "wats to point in doing it up to make it go faster" rar rar.... the voice's won't go away!!!

BUt u hang in there stick it out and yeh u be alright, This is my 2nd R33 and well wat can i say, BIG LEARNING experiece my last one, this one im much more wiser in,

Only cost me $360 or something...

It's already kinda folklore in the office.

I was doing 95+ (going onto 120 or so) in a 50 zone...

Overtaking an unmarked Camry police car...

On a bridge...

On a double yellow line...

With a cancelled license...

And I gave the officer a nasty glare as I passed him for doing 40 in a 50 zone.

w00t!!!

If they stacked penalties you'd be ****ed.

For me...

$360 for no license

$500+ for 45 over plus more three months?

$184+ 3 points for double yellow.

It all gets a bit ridiculous. I am glad I didn't have a license, if I did I would be suspended for 3 months... this way I just pay and drive again :)

Yeah it really does depend on the judge and the mood he is in. I will post up here on tuesday with the court story! I am on my way now to give them my plea bargain.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
