I think once I obtain a better car. I'm going to have a concealed weapon under my driver's seat.

Probably a good idea, this experience has been enough to make me put the line up on the market, im not going to have this happen to me again, plus I want a 4B!

nah dont run from them, straight punch in their face if they come to f**k around with you. i think they will walk away. i dont know if its illegal to put a baseball bat in the car but i have a large tyres spanner. i had an experience when i was at a traffic in northbridge some drunk lady sit on my bonnet. luckily was a lady if that was a male, i will feel sorry for him.

I'm either looking at an AE86 or a A31 Ceffy. Either way a military knife is going in a sheath under/next to the seat.

just keep in mind you get pulled over by the 5-0 and they go to search your car remember to say its there

*snip* i dont know if its illegal to put a baseball bat *snip*

you can be booked (and most likely will be if in an import it seems) for having a concealed weapon.

Always wondered the laws on carrying weapons. If you have to put it in the boot it pretty much defeats the purpose of having a concealed weapon in the first place. I would probably opt for pepperspraying the theif in the face and then "defending yourself" with a cricket bat you just happened to have on the back seat.

LOL at all the concealed weapon suggestions.

I had a BIG wrench in my car wedged by the drover's seat. It looked like another handbrake lol. I was never concerned about the cops..... "oops I forgot to take it out plus, it's a tool (you tool)". It had the parrot beak head so I could choose between blunt or piercing strike. Never needed to use it so I saw no need to peek it. Still prefer the unexpected punch in the mug and a bit of "Melbourne shuffle", if you know what I mean.

My suggestion, keep something like that in, make sure that it is innocent enough and hope you never need it and no one asks you anything.

thats a smart idea, my snap on ratchet might do the job, but leaving it in the car is another thing :/

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
