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.

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
