Pfft, stop whinging, Craig - at least you can get your side pipe kicks in once in a while, and in a proper race car too!

Oh, I was at a group dinner with your dad and Terry on Friday night, and he mentioned something about someone being pulled over by the po-po, and them enquiring about how a black Volvo could accelerate so fast, is that the case? :P

Rofl...I'm going to kill him....yes they were going in the opposite direction when I popped out and opened it up to get away from 2 fools....did he mention that the guy I was trying to get away from had an accident 300m away from when I was?

Yeah he did mention that, what's the story there?

i once got followed by po-po on the way home, wasn't speeding but did took roundabouts faster than other cars...was still driving the civic (got coilovers)...

they followed me to my house, parked their car in my driveway and when i came out of the car, i told them to wait 5 mins as i was desperate to do number 2...lady cop was pretty nice to let me do my business (after i convinced her that we were in front of my house) and checked my licence while i was doing my businesswhistling.gif

long story short, once my business is done, i had to listen to her quick speech about not taking corners/roundabouts too fast pinch.gif, no fines luckily...

thats what ive never been able to understand. if someone in a ferrari did the same thing, is it ok because the car is designed to handle?

whats classified as taking off too fast? i was almost done for that in QLD, but talked my way out of it. so i got a ticket for an exhaust that was too loud. never paid the fine. got so many notices saying they will cancel my licence and rego. lol this was before some states could actually do that!

In response to your Ferrari question, I would say yes... but then again I think logically (most of the time).

Law makers would say no (but they implement changes only considering how much money they can make).

I was pulled over for taking off too fast a couple of years ago...

I just asked what I did wrong officer? You accelerated much too quickly

Did I spin my wheels? No

Did I speed? This is a 70 zone isn't it? No, you weren't speeding and yes this is a 70 zone.

Did I endanger any other road users? Anything could have happened at your rate of acceleration

And what happened? You were pulled over before anything could happen

Excuse me, but I was already at my intended speed before you pulled me over. Is there anything more I can do for you? Queue lecture on the dangers of "speeding" etc etc :no:

    • Thanks. So crank is the same, stroke and everything is the same? Im getting crank collar installed anyway   I have heard this internet myth as well, but ive had a few unopened Neos as well and no long nose crank. Supposedly it may have been a series 2 thing? The ones I had were from series 1’s. No idea haha
    • Both NEOs I bought had short oil pump drives on them, even though internet legend has it they introduced longer collars on them. However, it's true NEO motors used N1 sized oil pump gears and not the same ones found in the R33 RB25 motor. Block wise, NEO has the front head VCT drained blocked off, but you can easily remove that.
    • Its definitely nice to still see skyline dedicated events happening in the car scene but I do believe its somewhat less populated as the cars become much rarer. The first event I went to in 2022 had a turnout of what seemed like 40ish skylines whereas the recent one I attended seemed to be a quieter turnout of around 20 cars.
    • Definitely an ongoing project as they all are, unfortunately it's hard to do a lot of the longer jobs on it as I daily it to work every day which means no leaving it on jackstands in the garage for eons. It also adds its own challenges of old stuff constantly breaking from getting used more than usual which I have sadly come to find multiple times in this short period of ownership haha
    • Yeah was my first "modification" the day it arrived from Adelaide. Had the set of them sitting around from my S15 in 2020 and fate would have it that I finally end up in the right car for them 😋
