guys last night i lost my licence.. and it wasnt in my skyline.. im up to about 700 ish in fines and lost 8 points. which leaves me on negative 6 or so points. well i lost it for 12 months and im not happy.. and im not proud.. i prolly deserve it in sum way.

any how i need to sell my skyline or hide it from the world for 12 months. (save up for mods). Okay the question is.. if i was to leave it at home wat should i do with it.? I dont have a garage to put it in. (to much stuff in it). im guessing buy a cover.. also should i disconnect the battery and drain all the petrol and oil out..? or should i start it once in a while.. "just thinking about this is soo depressing..? 27 days to go i guess. any 1 been in the same situation? 12 months is soo far away. :D

You've either got a long time to sell it, or put on a cover and just start it twice a week for a few mins. Problem is with heavy rain the cover will tend to just stick to the car, after a while that might damage the paint. Rust or even mildew type stuff can also build up under the cover also. Car covers aren't really ideal, especially for a long time.

Tyres will tend to go also if rims are not removed and not put on blocks. So either put some crappy tyres on there, or be prepared to buy 4x new tyres in 12 months.

not exactly legal is it? You shouldn't be encouraging illegal type activities, especially as an Administrator.

:werd: driving while disqualified will just get you in more shit when you get caught. Cop only has to be sitting behind you and run your plates and you've had it.

I would not be complaining. I have lost my licene before and spent over $3000 in fines (including couple parking)... I now lost my licence again and have $2500 in fines and -19 points. 16th is my last licenced day for ages and 12th is my last day with my rego on my skyline cause the assholes at the state debt have cancelled it! Trust me dont drive with no licence, it only takes a minute to get caught and the end result is not 2 good trust me! I am building my car up to run 12's and when i get my licence back i will look back at this and hopefully have learnt.

thanks for the feed back. i just went and got a road worthy to sell my car.. lots of defects.. gona cost me heaps... if i wanna sell it. also got about 500 bux in fines..

now if i leave my car in the garage and dont pay for the rego thats coming up shortly, it will be cancelled right? and to re register it i just need to umm get a rdw? and pay the rego fee?

i also have many things i need to do to it to get it "roadworthy" before i start moding it..

some defects found by the stupid mechanic

* Battery.. to be covered.. wtf..? He was surprised to see it in the boot!

* Secure Air filter.. I tied it down wit umm black clicky strips.. he thinks its not secure.

* Gearshift knob.. OMG come on just cos u cant slightly see gear 2 and 4 inprinted on it.. :@

* Wiper Blades.. so very unsafe for ur car..

* Exhaust too loud.. he said that cos he heard me rock up :D

* Tiny little crack in my windscreen that i saw for the first time ...

thats the last time im ever going there..

What sorta kvnt is this?

My car is exactly the same. You need to find someone who'll pass you without an inspection.

It's your decision really. If you want the car, you'll need a blue slip most likely to prove it's roadworthy and it's not a rebirth or something along those lines.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
