Finally onto my open licence and without loosing a point !!!

Sure I drove a non-turbo silvia for the first 1 1/2 years and a gts-t skyline for the remainder. I've had fines and warnings for stupid things likes driving without headlights on and driving "erratically" - before the new laws were passed.

I guess i've had some luck with speeding fines but other than that I drive quite sensibly.

How many of you guys are on your opens? and in which state?

Yeah, I have been on my opens for 6 yrs now, have had plenty of fines and had my license suspended once. All this while driving minis and geminis. In the two years of Skyline ownership I haven't lost a point, oh yeah have never been in an accident either.

Have had my licience for 8yrs (last 2 with the skyline), last 5yrs working as a field tech. doing about 1100km p/w of driving, have NOT lost 1 point and no accidents. Not even a parking ticket, lol :D.

Have coped 2 canaries though (with previous two cars):)

That is almost identical to my story! 8 years with a license, last 2 being with the Skyline. I spent the last 2 years working out of town (so not quite a field tech), and therefore did a huge amount of driving - yet I have never lost a single point on my license, had any parking tickets or any accidents. I have been pulled over for speeding a couple of times though (once was 30km/h over in an 80 zone and he let me off cos it was late and it was a straight road)

I've only copped 1 canary - but for me it was on my Skyline :(

ive just lost my liscence for the third time, im on a good behavour liscence, which is 2 points for one year instead of doing the time, when i do get my liscence back i have to do 3months automatic suspension for 45and over, and then they take a further 9 points of my new licence when i get it back, if i dont do anything wrong, by mid 2006 i should have a full 12points, what can u do but slow down, im lucky because they wanted to take me to court and reveiw my licence and take it away from me for three years due to having 3 or more major fines in a space of three years, over 45, burnout, etc, ive got three burnout, two over 45

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
