Finally after many years of driving I was booked speeding... Yes, thats right, I had a moment of weakness and didnt have my fox like eyes watching everything... I didnt see them parked at all, only time I got suss was when a car was tearing up behind me and then it was the blue and red disco...

89 in a 70 zone...

I find it very ironic that after owning the skyline for years and flogging the balls off it, I never get done, but 6 weeks into owning a luxury car, I get done... hahaha

Police were excellent, very respectfull and very nice about it all...

ive done the opposite to you never been booked ever then lost 10 points in the past year since ive owned my skyline. woo hoo! 1 was from speeding 32km/h over ( i though it was 100km/h zone goin south bound after paying the toll on the gateway it was an 80km/h zone) and the other were just defects in a mates car i was driving. they were all un deliberate offences aswell. meaning i wasnt trying to be stupid or anything just wrong place at the wrong time.

Going by that, and the other guy that got done for the first time in 5 years that he had his skyline. Im really failing to see how some people say import drivers are targeted hey.

Bad luck tho, but you know you were in the wrong, so its all good. I mean, they are right, if you speed one day you will be caught.

You failed to mention that it’s only the 17 – 20yr old group that complain about being targeted. :)

I thought it was up to 25? Dont want to start an argument, but yeah. I think whoever is getting done is asking to be done in that age group. Some is BS, but they are in the position to get dilled.

I got my skyline when I was 19, and never felt targeting, saying the younger import drivers are targeted is an excuse for stupidity...

Yeap, I was in the wrong, cop it on the chin...

Gordo - I bet when I give the thing more power I will never get a fine (touch wood) but in the meantime I will loose points driving it in stock form... (slow)

James - cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the comfort... hahaha

Jason - You're probably dead right, because it doesnt accel very hard I generally just leave my foot in one position and accelerate... lol

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
