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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
