There are too many people on this website that act like angels on sau, but are completely hypocritical on the roads.

You dont buy a skyline to drive like a grandpa

Excellent contribution.

If you are dumb enough to knowingly race someone from a set of lights, be prepared for whats coming.

Personally I bought my skylines to enjoy, and I enjoy a good drag race - at WSID on a wednesday night

With the powers police have, why in gods name would you risk even being suspected of street racing? Thats just stupid.

hey dont be sexist!!! dont forget about Grandmas!! :laugh:

I said that there are too many... im not including everyone.

Can you tell me that you have never given your car a squirt against another at the lights? Tell the truth.

I did actually, 7 years ago and I got fined for it and felt like and absolute dickhead for it too, realising how stupid it was.

There is no excuse for driving like a twat, if you choose to do so, dont complain when you get caught :laugh:

The whole line of arguement in his defence is that he gunned it UP TO 60km/h when his post said XXXkms/h. Yes, I can count and thats three figures without any mention of the speed limit!

Speaks volumes that he hasn't reposted.

:laugh::):P:)

Very good answer

so street racing has to involve another car right??

Technically... what if you were racing your own shadow? :)

Anyway to sum it all up, if you going to race on the street, do it up to the limit, do not speed but before you even going to do this, do a head check 360 degrees for the cops... while I dont condone "street racing" I can vouch for just about everyone on SAU or any other car based forum that everyone raced, is racing and will race at some point in their life... be it legal at a car circuit or on the streets. If you disagree with this then by all means sell your 17 K second hand Skyline and buy a brand new Hyundai Getz, youll have a few $K left over for the years supply of petrol.

Personally I dont like squirting it for the mere fact that:

1. I dont want to cop a speeding fine

2. The petrol is too dear

But yes I admit to street racing too, in the last 3 weeks of owning my R33 I even had an older lady in her AMG C5 Merc drag me in the 80 zone... I got up to 80 and let it go while she proceeded to speed off to a 100... so perhaps yes, dragging on the street is dumb as it will make normal people do dumb shit even though its exciting and gets your blood pumping! (Ps I got my ass kicked by that AMG)

Having said this, I dont drag every freaking car at the lights more like if I feel that the conditions are safe and there are no police around and Im generally curious to see how my car measures up to the one next to it.

We can keep going with this thread until Officer Friendly finds it and reports it to his colleagues or we can say adios and move on. Im done. :laugh:

Once you have an accident it changes your whole mentality about speeding etc...

Try not to do anything stupid.. I know I don't anymore.. :laugh:

Get yourself a good lawyer, barrister, because, basically all you have to do is cause enough doubt in the prosecution to prove that mens rea ( guilty mind ) and actus rea ( guilty act ) never happened. Then you're off... So in other words you don't need to prove you were completely innocent.. :P

I do legal studies :) So if there are any other people involved with the law here, please fix up what I said If I was off by too much.

jesus guys. when did everyone on here become so holier than thou?

get off your goddamned high horses and realise that people do things everyday. so get caught and some dont. i have not been on a skyline cruise yet which didnt have some enthusiastic driving going on.

you get caught , you try to get away with it. thats life.

this guy is not begging for sympathy, he is only asking for advice. i must have missed the bit where he begged for a sermon from the grandpa mob.

rightousnous is another word for pure evil

These days there isnt any point speeding. Police have to much power now. It doesnt matter if they are wrong you cant win. Even now its getting difficult to even drive your import on the streets, police feel they need to pull you over anyway. If more people road push bikes i reckon they would start defecting them to try and earn some revenue!!

sorry alittle off topic but a lawyer would probly help in your case.

Well the point of condoning street racing is that it's not only illegal but it's dangerous. One wrong turn and you could swerve into the car of the young mother with 2 kids in the back, or hit the man trying to cross the street at the crosswalk. There's a reason street racing is illegal, and it should be condoned.

Thanks for that Reverend Lovejoy, but here's a news flash - I'm not holy, I don't ride a horse, and he's a wanker.

Edited by d0p3y

he knows he did wrong , thats not the issue. he only wants to know what his chances of getting away with it are. he admits racing , pure and simple and admits that it is wrong.

nobody is condoning street racing . have you NEVER driven enthusiasticly? are the grandpa mob taking over this forum?

i dont understand why you are all judging this bloke when almost all of us have done something similar.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
