Well to be not to play the blame game but this is the reason why this law is put in place to stop offenders from driving.

Just pay the fine or something and take public transport :)

What were you thinking when you took your friend home. Tsk Tsk..

"Self inflicted" Yes I agree..

Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 gives the magistrate an opportunity to dismiss a charge even though you've been found guilty. It would be also possible to be placed on a good behaviour bond through this as well. They would take into account factors such as your circumstances, character, etc.

But seeing as you were already suspended and reoffended I don't think you'd be able to use this.

Habib, you are EXACTLY the type of P-plater this law is targetting.

Although it sounds like you couldn't give a toss about licence suspensions, so why you would care about a power restriction, I have no idea.

a section 10 with good behaviour bond is not applicable unless you are on your full license, so forget about that..

and i am quite sure you will get hammered in court, especially with all the bad publicity lately, if i were you i would put my car up for sale right now, you will probably have to wait a 3 years before being able to drive one again! (until u get your full license)

looks like you will not be able to drive it...doesn't the new law say that if you already have your p's but have your license suspended then when you get them back after the date the new law comes in, then you cant drive performance cars...think that what i read in the paper...

simple fact is that you shouldn't have been driving, and your friend should realise that you haven;t got a licesne so shouldn't have got you to drive...if he can afford to pay part of the fine then he can afford to pay for a taxi...

thats bs that means i cant drive my skyline till im 25 or so
No, it's not BS. You broke the law, now you have to suffer the consequences.

You obviously don't take the law seriously considering you lost your license 3 months after you got it and then had the arrogance to defy your driving disqualification and drive again without your license. I'm sorry mate, but seriously, what were you thinking?

As said above, the law is designed to target people like yourself. I know the penalty may seem harsh, but perhaps next time you'll think before you deciding to break the rules.

Sorry to say dude, but you're going to get raped in court. Expect ~$1500 fine and 12 month CANCELLATION of licence.

I'm currently suspended/cancelled for 3 months - it's not worth the risk driving dude, don't have your licence? Don't go hopping in the car (unless you ain't driving anywhere but up/down your driveway :cheers:) and definitely do NOT go dropping mates off...

What you've done now is considered a "major offence" and if you do another TWO of those in the next 5 years, expect worse and worse penalties... ranging from heavy fines and further suspensions/cancellation of licence, and 3 year MINIMUM bans!

Sell your Skyline, use some of the money for a GOOD lawyer - to try to get the penalty down to a minimum... then when you get your licence back in a year or so - buy some N/A car that's going to keep you out of trouble... non turbo skyline maybe...

Good luck man, you're going to need it!

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
