Anyone else turn up to the last minute meet today? When I got there it was just me and an SS Commodore who went through two red lights to get there. I didn't want to be seen around that kind of behaviour so I left after he issued me with a minor defect notice.

Defected. No fine or NOU, just need to drop in on the pits for an inspection when I get the items changed. Cop was pretty fair/nice about it all and he could have got me on a few other things, but the targeting / chase down and subsequent blocking of one lane on a major highway to do so was pretty ridiculous given I was driving more sedately than anyone around me. The surrounding traffic must have thought it was a stolen car or something.

Saw a white R33 pass me while I was on the side of the road, anyone from here?

HIDs. Yeah minor, but fark, aside from inconveniencing me half an hour I gotta change the item and then find the time to go to Vicroads. I'd sooner have paid a fine for speeding and not have my time wasted doing all that. No reason for being pulled over other than it being a Skyline. Story of the import driver's life.

over 24 hours and no moron has come in here and told adam he is over reacting and that skylines dont get picked on... weird...

Usually people who have never been pulled over when they were doing the speed limit, by a cop who did a U turn or ran a red light (or two) to do so :cool:

Paraphrased quote from someone on here who got defected by the same car as me on the same day and contacted me in regard to it: "they said every Skyline they pulled over today expressed that they are car enthusiasts and not hoons." Whether that's in a good or bad sense, fact remains they were pulling over Skylines left, right and centre for the sake of it. I'm not whinging about it because I knew when I bought the car that it had this kind of stigma about it - but yes, anyone who denies Skylines get targeted is kidding themselves lol.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
