i got to drive to school for half the year when i got my car. i bunged up old lh torana. at least it was a 3litre, had *some* guts. looked like a real heap though. one of the first few days i drove it in, this other girl driving her mum excel or something says 'hey shaun is that even road worthy?' and i was like of cos! ya stupid idiot..., that last part was only thought though. i didnt even really know her and shes commenting on MY car? damn her. damn her i say.

Doesn't apply to That's just plain f*****g stupid. You can learn to drive in one, do the test in one, but then you wouldn't be allowed to drive it home!!!!

In canberra a few of the major learner driver companies have turbocharged cars for the learners (which i find pretty stupid really). So i guess the exemption is for that reason, or if your learning to drive on your L's in your dads skyline etc.

you could image the amount of kids that would rather learn in a turbo whatever then a ford festiva (as i did! :D) when it comes to picking driving schools.. even a turbo astra or something (can think of other smaller cars with turbos) would be cooler to a student then an excel..

Yeah actually that would be the case for a lotta kids hey.

I chose my driving school from others comments. So i chose the most easy going driving instructor of them all so i could get my licence in as little lessons as possible. It paid off, i got it in the minimum amount of lessons, while my mates driving the WRX's spent a good $150 extra to get their licences :)

haha my first car was a 1981 civic....1.3L....it had maby 50hp...and about 49 of em were dead...lol....talk about crap...farkn trucks were taking off from the lights faster than me...lucky my freinds didnt like me cos of my car...

i used to drive my r33 to skool everyone loved it, but there was also a 2 wrx's and a modifed 300zx tt, some nice cars at my school but, my mate had a new ss ute and got it impounded for doing a burnout outside a shopping center lol.

LOL i remeber when i was a youngin in year7 or 8 so 13 or so, i saw a RX7 smoke up the whole street, the busses had to wait 3 or so mins for the smoke to clear. So i contiuned walking to the train station, and abotu 5 mins later it went screeming past with the front gard onfire and a paddy wagon chaseing it. LOL

I guess it was stolen, but still when i saw that ive always said last day year 12, and if i don't pop a stock tired i'll be dissapointed :(

One of my mates has a HQ i think Holden ute, with apparently 350bhp, so i think he'll out do mine LOL but still the more the merrier LOL

could be a good idea to give L plates a go in a turbo car, hopefully it will scare the shit out of them and theyll drive slower because they know how dangerous it is and they know that whatever piece of shiz they drive its not worth speeding coz its not a fast car...... maybe

I'm glad to have driven my car on my L's... If I had gotten it on my P's I would probably have crashed it pretty badly

My first car i built on my l's with my old man we put a worked 5l fuel injected v8 into a vc commodore. The day i got my p's i was the happiest guy alive i could finally drive my v8 out the driveway and see how it went. On top of the world i was.

Thats how i felt, this car was my first car, ive had my licence for about 10months and this was the first car ive bought, i know that feeling, and still very much feeling it today =) I just can't wait for a skyline cruse one day.

so far ive driven a few turbo cars, 3 to be exact. 2 R33's, and a forester.

was the best damn feeling in the world doing laps of a carpark in R33 number one.

and then again hearing the boxer growl from the scooby

and my god, dropping it into second gear in a 230kw R33, and planting it pretty much has garunteed i will be getting a turbo car.

didn't scare me at all, but it did make me realise how much trouble a turbo car could put you in if you dont respect the boost. "second gear, wet round about and come on boost, bye bye road, hello tree"

my first car was my 33 and i drove it to school every day....i went to a private school but paid for my car myself...anyway there was a lot of guy getting given BMW's and stuff like taht one kid got given a 330Ci for his first car...anyway they thought they were top sh1t and would always go cruising round near nepean highway after school on fridays one of them told me my car was jap shit so i said ok let go nepean i showed them why they make skylines with such nice back on them... was quite funny...by the end of the year the car had all the respect it needed

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
