They can go f**k themselves im not gonna follow these bullshit power restrictions just cause a bunch of bogans are idiots in there vl's and fords. And what would be considered a high powered vehicle. And what will happen when this law comes into action for people who already have high powered vehicles.

If this is the way qld transport will behave about high powered vehicles then i wont move states i will go to a different country, australians are taxed to much anyway lol.

dont fret alex, I'm sure these rules will be to NEW DRIVERS,

and I'm not sure your auto atmo sedan would be ruled out either.

The way i see it is younger drivers IE teens.,, do tend to DIE in car crashes as they are normally in their "first shitter cars" like a 20 year old corona or something.... so ofcourse they are going to be worse off than a 24 year old or older.

2.gaining 100 hours of certified supervised on-road driving experience for learners under 25s

i like the way people over 25 dont need 100 hours of learners, i think it should be the same for all, as granpa and granma need like 1000 hours.....

thats how they always said it...

are already on your learners when the rules come out, it doesnt apply since u started ont eh old system... like wise for if you already hold a current P lisence they cant change it.

Yeah but by the time these laws comes into action, i will probably be driving a 2 durbo manual turbo 34. But as most people specified i hope its only for people who get there licences when the rules apply. Because i wont be close to 25 by the time i plan to have my turbo ill probably be 19.

hey guys

just a question, i am currently as of monday the owner of an r34 2 door GTT.

it will be under my business name and i am under 25, i am 22 i will be 23 by the time these laws come in.

now if i was pulled over in my car with these laws in place, knowing that my name wont be on the ownership, but my companys name will

will i be fined or have to sell the car once these laws come in ??

any help would be good

Jake

hmm being 18, getting the r34 turbo coupe was the best thingy that happened to me :no: that and parents paid for 2000 buck insureance and everything else.... but these rules would have pissed me off

absolute rubbish.. no lives will be saved. They've had these restrictions in place in VIC for a while now, and young people still kill themselves just as effectively.

True that, just means more retards will drive beaters around un fit for the roads. Put kids in safe quick cars, not cheap and nasty quick cars.

i agree with nismo boy, if u elimate the old shit tins, then teen deaths will go down.... un-experienced drivers in cars unsafe for bush bashing = statistic waiting to happen

Stopping the Road TOLL = Go with NSW way of pink slips, check the damn cars over every year. Fish out all the arse holes that let people BUY Road Worthy Certs, & then see how far it gets the road toll, dumb pricks. It was frightening seeing some of the cars roll into the work shop when I was a mechanic, I would not let my worst enemy drive some of them ...

Young people only made up the 13% of our road toll. What about the outher 87% you think that thay would be more concerned about the outher 87% as thay are the majority.

don't you mean 32% of the road toll?

they are only 13% of drivers on the road

Have to agree with everyone here - every car is a weapon & if some idiot decides their Peter Brock, the road toll will always be around the same annual figures. That being said 13% isn't that much, I think the rest comes down to driver error, especially when I compare to what I've seen in Victoria.: (Old people driving on the WRONG side of the road in 80 & 100Km/hr zones???? - Has anyone else seen this???)

you make a very good point there mate.......

this would eliminate a lot of those old shitty holdens on the road......bogans will have to spend less on piss.

    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
    • f**king around with the bro
    • Ludenham   44.2 tops day no issues  
    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
