Silly isn't it: nothing in the Skyline, have been pretty good for the most part. Lost 3 point & $150 for chasing a mate's V8 panelvan while driving my old Torana :headspin: . Cop was sympathetic & booked us for 88 in a 60 zone, reality was more like 110. He could also have canaried both of us on the spot, or done us for reckless driving for weaving in & out of traffic (there wasn't much, it was 1am), so I considered myself a lucky young idiot & was very sensible thereafter. Mostly :D .

In one week i got done for:

A) 4 pts on the narrows. about 40 kms over. Was lucky it wasnt 6pts.

B) 6 pts in a 60 zone. Was going WELL above double the speed limit. I was lucky on this one :mad:

C) 1 pt for 15kms or so over in a 70 zone.

Could have been alot worse, could have ended up in court and yellowed. $700 in fines in under a week. Thankfully that was almost 2 years ago and after loosing my license and i certainly learnt my lessons the hard way. Since then i've only been caught by one camera doing 10 kms over on G.E hwy!

Most important thing i've learnt is my attitude... I only have 1 person to blame for all the hassles 1 stupid week caused.

Another thread dedicated to driving offences commited by skyline owners, really bright!

I bet some of the people who have posted in this thread have complained about the poor image of skylines in the community, news and police department.

At least it shows the cops are doing their jobs. In the car I have now I admit I do speed (been 200kph on the way to work once, 3:30am, about 180kph twice, and a few more in that general area.....). I have never been caught, but I don't do that any more. Once when I was running late I was doing about 140kph (early morning on the Mitchell freeway, cars are rare!!!), and went past a van & a fairly new Falcon wagon. Down the road a bit I noticed headlights moving quite quickly in the right hand lane, and had a look & it was this wagon. We were coming up to a Monaro, so decided to just slow it down past him, just in case. After that I thought he would just sod off, but instead sped past again. Considering I was running late for work, it would have seemed like I was chasing him, but TBH I didn't give a crap about him. Pulled about level at 170, and when he gave it a bit more I thought enough was enough.

So then I just planted it, went past him, watched his lights go further & further back while I hit 200kph+ & that was that. Not bad for a magna. I feel sorry for a poor girl in a Corolla, we went either side of her at these speeds & probably scared the crap out of her. FYI I got to work 5mins early. Starting at 4, left at about 3:35 and it usually takes half an hour.

I don't do that shit anymore, starting at 6am most of the time there is no way I would even bother. Plain stupidity really.

ive been let off my worst traffic offence .... on a double demerit weekend .... i decided to tailgate & drag an unmarked cop car and do ridiculous speeds in a 60 zone ..... but i was let off with a warning .... could of been a 6 pt turned into a 12pt fine.

ive been let off for drink driving

ive been left off (but shouted at) for so called hooning

The worst thing ive actually been booked for is doing 84 in a 50zone .... which resulted in my recent loss of license.

Basically i shouldve lost my license about 4 times over by now but for some reason coppers love me and usually let me go with a slap on the wrist ;)

Owned a VF1000R once...... Over a period of 3 months I attempted to "break" the record for getting to work, from Maddington to O'Connor. I eventually broke into the 7 minute mark (average 180km/h). After several near-misses, a chase involving about 4 vehicles and an eventual canary on the bike after attempting to drag with an unmarked car, I finally had a change in attitude and purchased a 900cc Daihatsu Charade.

I drove the bread box for about 2 years and in that time I learned a lot, I mean - A lot. The car helped me to tone down on the roads, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

Since driving the Charade, then purchasing the R32 about 2 years ago (4 years total) I have never been issued with an infringement. I have been pulled over 5 times in the R32 and was canaried once, the other 4 times were for license checks and a warning from the cop that some prick was thieving imports in my area.

Like all the others before me who have admitted stupidity, I think that there does come a time when you finally click and realise what you are doing. Some people take a long time such as myself, but others inevitably learn the hard way, when it’s too late.

I was stupid, and lucky.

Everyone is young and dumb once ....skyline owner, commie owner, BMW owner, go-go mobile owner.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
