Silly isn't it: nothing in the Skyline, have been pretty good for the most part. Lost 3 point & $150 for chasing a mate's V8 panelvan while driving my old Torana :headspin: . Cop was sympathetic & booked us for 88 in a 60 zone, reality was more like 110. He could also have canaried both of us on the spot, or done us for reckless driving for weaving in & out of traffic (there wasn't much, it was 1am), so I considered myself a lucky young idiot & was very sensible thereafter. Mostly :D .

In one week i got done for:

A) 4 pts on the narrows. about 40 kms over. Was lucky it wasnt 6pts.

B) 6 pts in a 60 zone. Was going WELL above double the speed limit. I was lucky on this one :mad:

C) 1 pt for 15kms or so over in a 70 zone.

Could have been alot worse, could have ended up in court and yellowed. $700 in fines in under a week. Thankfully that was almost 2 years ago and after loosing my license and i certainly learnt my lessons the hard way. Since then i've only been caught by one camera doing 10 kms over on G.E hwy!

Most important thing i've learnt is my attitude... I only have 1 person to blame for all the hassles 1 stupid week caused.

Another thread dedicated to driving offences commited by skyline owners, really bright!

I bet some of the people who have posted in this thread have complained about the poor image of skylines in the community, news and police department.

At least it shows the cops are doing their jobs. In the car I have now I admit I do speed (been 200kph on the way to work once, 3:30am, about 180kph twice, and a few more in that general area.....). I have never been caught, but I don't do that any more. Once when I was running late I was doing about 140kph (early morning on the Mitchell freeway, cars are rare!!!), and went past a van & a fairly new Falcon wagon. Down the road a bit I noticed headlights moving quite quickly in the right hand lane, and had a look & it was this wagon. We were coming up to a Monaro, so decided to just slow it down past him, just in case. After that I thought he would just sod off, but instead sped past again. Considering I was running late for work, it would have seemed like I was chasing him, but TBH I didn't give a crap about him. Pulled about level at 170, and when he gave it a bit more I thought enough was enough.

So then I just planted it, went past him, watched his lights go further & further back while I hit 200kph+ & that was that. Not bad for a magna. I feel sorry for a poor girl in a Corolla, we went either side of her at these speeds & probably scared the crap out of her. FYI I got to work 5mins early. Starting at 4, left at about 3:35 and it usually takes half an hour.

I don't do that shit anymore, starting at 6am most of the time there is no way I would even bother. Plain stupidity really.

ive been let off my worst traffic offence .... on a double demerit weekend .... i decided to tailgate & drag an unmarked cop car and do ridiculous speeds in a 60 zone ..... but i was let off with a warning .... could of been a 6 pt turned into a 12pt fine.

ive been let off for drink driving

ive been left off (but shouted at) for so called hooning

The worst thing ive actually been booked for is doing 84 in a 50zone .... which resulted in my recent loss of license.

Basically i shouldve lost my license about 4 times over by now but for some reason coppers love me and usually let me go with a slap on the wrist ;)

Owned a VF1000R once...... Over a period of 3 months I attempted to "break" the record for getting to work, from Maddington to O'Connor. I eventually broke into the 7 minute mark (average 180km/h). After several near-misses, a chase involving about 4 vehicles and an eventual canary on the bike after attempting to drag with an unmarked car, I finally had a change in attitude and purchased a 900cc Daihatsu Charade.

I drove the bread box for about 2 years and in that time I learned a lot, I mean - A lot. The car helped me to tone down on the roads, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

Since driving the Charade, then purchasing the R32 about 2 years ago (4 years total) I have never been issued with an infringement. I have been pulled over 5 times in the R32 and was canaried once, the other 4 times were for license checks and a warning from the cop that some prick was thieving imports in my area.

Like all the others before me who have admitted stupidity, I think that there does come a time when you finally click and realise what you are doing. Some people take a long time such as myself, but others inevitably learn the hard way, when it’s too late.

I was stupid, and lucky.

Everyone is young and dumb once ....skyline owner, commie owner, BMW owner, go-go mobile owner.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
