Finally after many years of driving I was booked speeding... Yes, thats right, I had a moment of weakness and didnt have my fox like eyes watching everything... I didnt see them parked at all, only time I got suss was when a car was tearing up behind me and then it was the blue and red disco...

89 in a 70 zone...

I find it very ironic that after owning the skyline for years and flogging the balls off it, I never get done, but 6 weeks into owning a luxury car, I get done... hahaha

Police were excellent, very respectfull and very nice about it all...

ive done the opposite to you never been booked ever then lost 10 points in the past year since ive owned my skyline. woo hoo! 1 was from speeding 32km/h over ( i though it was 100km/h zone goin south bound after paying the toll on the gateway it was an 80km/h zone) and the other were just defects in a mates car i was driving. they were all un deliberate offences aswell. meaning i wasnt trying to be stupid or anything just wrong place at the wrong time.

Going by that, and the other guy that got done for the first time in 5 years that he had his skyline. Im really failing to see how some people say import drivers are targeted hey.

Bad luck tho, but you know you were in the wrong, so its all good. I mean, they are right, if you speed one day you will be caught.

You failed to mention that it’s only the 17 – 20yr old group that complain about being targeted. :)

I thought it was up to 25? Dont want to start an argument, but yeah. I think whoever is getting done is asking to be done in that age group. Some is BS, but they are in the position to get dilled.

I got my skyline when I was 19, and never felt targeting, saying the younger import drivers are targeted is an excuse for stupidity...

Yeap, I was in the wrong, cop it on the chin...

Gordo - I bet when I give the thing more power I will never get a fine (touch wood) but in the meantime I will loose points driving it in stock form... (slow)

James - cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the comfort... hahaha

Jason - You're probably dead right, because it doesnt accel very hard I generally just leave my foot in one position and accelerate... lol

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
