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.

    • 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.
