9. ambiguous question. of all the people i see doing wrong, a larger number are p platers. however most of the p platers i see do the right thing

10. it will reduce the number of people dying in p plate crashes but it will increase the number of people driving on their own. coz they cant get lifts.

11. i trust all of my mates to be safe on the road. if i had kids though it'd be a different story

P-Plater Survey

1. Do you feel the current P plate restrictions are suitable?

Yes

2. Would you drive a prohibited vehicle (turbo, v8) if you could?

i do already

3. Do you feel you take more care around P platers on the road?

Yes

4. Do you like the idea of having a passenger limit for P platers?

Yes - if they have gotten a speeding/neg driving etc fine, otherwise No.

5. Do you regulary (atleast once everyday) speed (purposely go over speed limit)?

No - sometimes i dont realise, but when i do i slow down.

7. Do you follow the speed on the freeway and stay within your 90 or 100km/h limit? (If you have one)

Yes

8. Has all the recent articles about P plater deaths made you slow down?

No (seeing my bro in law and mates almost die in a car accident did)

-my brother did a driver offenders course which has settled him ALOT. i think that p platers should have this as an option which will let them have more than 1 passenger etc.

9. Do you see more P platers doing the right or wrong thing when you are out driving? (Be honest please)

Wrong

10. Do you think passenger restrictions will solve the P plate death issue? Or does more need to be done?

i agree with the passenger restrictions because:

1. less peer pressure.

2. less people killed the better.

11. Do you trust getting into a car with a P plater? Or do you trust your child getting into a car with a P plater?

if i do im always in the passenger seat... ready to throw a backhander if i dont like how theyre driving.

the government is a bit hypocritical on this issue...

can you somehow point out to everyone that passenger restrictions mean more p plater cars if they are going out as a group, makes it harder to get enough designated drivers for the hallowed drink driving situation, and will only result in more p platers driving without p's, which is against the point of p plates.

p platers are inexperienced drivers, p plates tell other drivers that. thats it.

*rant

1 no- too harsh

2 no

3 yes

4 no

5 no

7 yes- i did when on p's and rarely hit 110 now,, gears too short

8 no- biggest influence on me was actually studying for the full license test. they should make

you do that earlier, but when your still old enough for it to mean something

9 even

10 no

11 yes- you can tell within 1 minute of driving wether they are a good driver, regardless of

license

1. No - Too Harsh

2. I'm not affected by restrictions

3. No - I treat everybody on the road equally as 99% of drivers drive like shit regardless of type of license.

4. No

5. No

7. No - I usually do 110km/h where the limit is 110 (I'm still on green P's, supposed to do 100) on the M4 at certain times

8. No - I don't need to slow down because I don't drive like a retard, I'm usually within the speedlimit.

Jeff I have illustrated that point.

I took it in reference to a 5 passenger car.

When you start applying restrictions to the amount of passengers you can carry (and it looks like it’s only going to apply for passengers under 25 years old); You increase the amount of P platers on the road.

Another little snippet is:

Current legislation: 1 car = 5 people = 5 people get home safely = 1 P plate car

Passenger limit: 2 cars + 1 person who can’t get home = 6 people (including the extra driver needed to cover for your 1 person who can’t get home). Which then = 6 people and 3 P plate cars.

Please don't start an arguement about what I have quoted, as they are snippets and I have opposing facts/comments in relation to agreeing to a passenger limit.

1. Do you feel the current P plate restrictions are suitable?

Yes

2. Would you drive a prohibited vehicle (turbo, v8) if you could?

I'm off P's

3. Do you feel you take more care around P platers on the road?

Yes

4. Do you like the idea of having a passenger limit for P platers?

No

5. Do you regulary (atleast once everyday) speed (purposely go over speed limit)?

No

7. Do you follow the speed on the freeway and stay within your 90 or

100km/h limit? (If you have one)

Don't have one

8. Has all the recent articles about P plater deaths made you slow down?

No

9. Do you see more P platers doing the right or wrong thing when you are out driving? (Be honest please)

Right

10. Do you think passenger restrictions will solve the P plate death issue? Or does more need to be done?

No, More.

11. Do you trust getting into a car with a P plater? Or do you trust your child getting into a car with a P plater?

Yes

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
