Almost as bad as when people use to put mercedes front grills on geminis. Or the whole evoIII body kit phase of the late 90s. No your excel is not an EVO! The only decent one of these kits ive ever seen that makes a car something its not is an mx5 converted to hardtop and made to look like the very first rotor - 110s cosmo (had a big 10A in it). original looked like this:

Had to revive an old thread Yesterday on the way home, turning right pulling out into a 90 zone the car infront of me stopped for no reason in the middle. I had to almost run up his ass to avoid being hit by oncoming traffic. Then he proceeded to go 70 in a 90 zone. I ofcourse overtook him and he flashed his high beams and started waving his hands and stuff. The amount of times people have done this i wasnt going to let this one slide so I followed the guy. He knew I was following him so he kept going around in circles. I wasnt going to fight him just wanted to see what his problem was. I eventually got next to him and said "Why did u flash your highbeams at me?" He said it was because i was sitting too close to him when he pulled out of that street. So I told him that If he had pulled out into traffic without almost stopping i wouldnt have had avoid an accident. I then told him i overtook because it was a 90 zone, he was doing 70 and I am allowed to overtake him. The problem is back in Sydney I would run into a dickhead like this once every month or so... here in Perth they make up 90% of the drivers. Not being considerate of people behind them, hogging the right hand lane and just generally driving like a grandma. Its part of the reason why im moving to brisbane soon. I cannot put up with it any longer!

do a skid bro do a skid! moral of the story - let dickhead be dickheads.

If this is really your opinion then stop having a cry saying "SAU does not drive illegally, etc. If someone wants to drive like an idiot and get hassled by police let them. SAU has no right to tell people how to drive unless they have a SAU sticker and are a SAU member. Then it reflects on the club. But just coz someone drives a skyline doesnt mean they have to drive like a grandma.

pffft give skylines a bad name with the cops? Does anyone even need to do anything to get this? If you buy a car like a jap import you're basically telling cops to pick on you. Regardless of how you drive you will always get picked on so get use to it. Do fishies all you want coz the truth is even if you do not do them you will still be pulled over. So have some fun. If you dont want cops to pick on you sell your skyline. Simple! Or buy a R31 4 door and turn it into a sleeper.

C-red imports engines only and half cuts dont they? Dont know what their prices or quality is like tho.

I think this might be a nissan skyline turbo club? I dont quite know tho. I am very confussed as I drive a charade.

Big Rizza where have u been all my life? WERD times infinity!

Send an Email to Bill Gates and tell him windows sux. Altho I am pretty sure he is aware of this.

Man ive seen grown men in their company exec commodore lose control and get a bit sideways. Give the dewd a break. I dislike these people that straight away use the "SAU do not promote illegal activites". Im pretty sure cops dont waste their time sitting on here all day reading threads so stop acting like a little angel. I do not drive a skyline so does that mean im allowed to drive like something other than a grandma? Im pretty sure the cops wont link a charade to SAU.

Im not sure if anyone has posted this here before. http://www.policespeedcameras.com/ Quite a good read. Tells you all the restrictions as far as cameras after limit changes, at the bottom of hills, how the radar has to be alligned, etc. I especially like the theory of going to view your photograph and if there is any other car in the pic (as would be the case on the freeway, etc) then they cannot fine you! Also I have heard that if you get booked by an actual human police officer they have to be wearing their hat when they walk up to the car (otherwise you cannot be booked). Another one I heard was if you are speed checked (cop travels behind you and uses his speedometer to determine your speed) then they have to produce a tyre guage and all their tyres must measure exaclty 37psi otherwise they cannot book you. And last one is that if the have a hand held unit they must take two read outs, 3 seconds apart. They have to show you both readouts if you request this. And you can only be booked for the lesser speed. My Father has used this in Sydney and it downgraded him from a 15-30km to a 0-15km fine.

They leave alot of grey areas in the rule books so they can make them up as they go. I am originally from Sydney so I think rules are a little different. In NSW the largest rim size u could use was 1 inch wider and taller than the largest spec on your tyre plackard. My R33 had a tyre plackard for 18 x 9 so in theory I couldve went 19 x 10. Lowering was 100mm and they had a thing they rolled under your car to test this. I know this because I got a defect with my E30 BMW 325is that was 40mm off the ground hehe. Airbags in NSW are legal so long as they do not lower the vehicle more than the 100mm rule. My mate has a hilux bagged and they atually made him deflate the bags all the way that even with 20's make his car sit on the ground. Let see them put the roller under that! Tint rules only apply to the front two windows in NSW and i asume here aswell. So long as you have both side mirrors functional. Because if you had a ute they only have two side windows and if you have a load in the back then you cant use the rear mirror. Try using this on a cop if they pull you up.

Take it from someone who knows... At 18 i started spending money on cars. After 8 years, 9 cars (2 of which were show standard) and an estimated 70K down the drain, I finally grew up. Sold my last car - a R33 to pay off debt so I could get a house. 12 Months later at age 27 I drive a friggin charade and have got close to 100K in equity. I could sell my house and buy a 34 GTR. Of course which brings me to the next point. You cant live in a GTR. As you get older you start thinking more responsible. So the moral of the story is be smart with your money and ull be able to afford a car people only dream of. But by the time you can afford it you probably wont want it. Or be young and have a great car thatll send u broke. Hope that helps but itll probly confuse the shit out of you.

That is just because the people who buy them like to bully other cars on the road. Like all 4WD owners. Its just like a skyline ad saying "get in, go sideways really fast and pick up lots of chicks". Or a charade ad saying "get in, thrash the crap out of it and dont wash it" - I'd buy a car with that slogan

I can help with the insurance bit of your question. I use to work for an insurance company under 12 mths ago. As fas as insurance goes any import that has 2 doors OR a high pressure turbo is a grade 9. This is the highest grade and the only thing seperating you from paying the same premium as a porsche driver is the purchase price. If you were to get a 4 door non turbo skyline (which lets face it u might aswell buy a camry) then itll be a grade 5. This is the same as something like a new beetle. This is how the company i worked for operated. Other comanies may vary but i doubt it. Just before you buy get quotes for both.
