Well it does have a fair bit to do with it.

Some people might read your post, and go... oh ok that might be true

And then another stupid question results from it.

And then poor ole marcus is once again, back out there bashing his head against a wall

I used to have a sticker on my old car, maybe I should get it reprinted. It said: Don't ban high performance cars, ban low performance drivers!

I would so buy one of these man :bunny:

People around my area are just insane, i have no idea how they got a licence

That statement originated from the supercar scare in the early 70's when the factory race teams didn't get their V8 toranas, Phase 4 falcons and V8 chargers...

I remember hearing that Peter Brock had the sticker on his road car.

That's the idea, you can thank the smack tards who do street racing in turbo vehicles and V8's for this crap. This is the government reacting to public out cry. Get used to it.

95% of the cars I see street racing car V6 Commodores, and this new rule doesn't stop them from being driven, so I doubt it'll change shit.

Come stand out the front of my place one night (dandenong rd)

You'll see plenty of overpowered cars getting into the traffic light GP.

So very true......

That white r33 I spotted on Dandenong road (refer to spotted thread) was a P plater dragging a VL turbo who also was a P plater obvioulsy doing way more than 80km/h.

So in light of actually seeing P Plater smack tards in high powered cars driving like idiots bring it on I say. For 2 reasons.

1. Shannons have devalued my car and increased my premium from the number of written off GTS-T's by younger drivers.

2. Maybe this might get cops off my back because of the reputation been set by P plater drivers trying to be a fast and the furious want a be.

Obviously by half the comments on this thread by younger drivers your maturity and attitude shows that you shouldn't be driving such vehicles in the first place. Who cares if your driving a V6 commonhore or not the point is that is is obvious that with amount of disrespect shown towards Police and other drivers on the road that this attitude will only make the government think seriously about increasing the P plater minimum age from 18 to 20. So continue whinging like a bunch of school kids and prove the government right.

From experience the people complaining the most about these laws and the hoon laws are generally the people who don't follow the rules and make it harder for all drivers on the forum who own vehicles in this class. This even includes current P Plate drivers who I have meet through this club in person there is a large number of drivers on the forum who are on there P's and do drive responsibly. These people become the targets of a minority of immature fools who think they are better than everyone else.

Yeah i had the same thing in mind, but i know people in skylines do stupid shit too...its just a bit unfair that skylines will be directly affected by the new laws...

They arent "being" affected.

There already are, they have been for years and years

Yeah i know that but more so for new p plate drivers...and now skylines will become a new type of target where every one of us (p platers in lines) will be pulled over to see if we are a new p plater or not.

Thankgod I'm on fulls.

Though i do have a question, My younger brother who has a, Nissan Silvia CA18DET Manual. Stock as a rock.

He is going for his P's in May, though if he fails his P's in may he might not be able to Rebook untill July if worst comes to worst.

What I'm wanting to know is, i noticed they had some Turbo Car exceptions for the new P-Plate laws. Would a Silvia CA18DET may be an exception?

Come on lets be serious it really isn't a high powered turbo car.

What do you think? He might be able to get away with it?

Your brother can't drive the Silvia mate. The only turbo cars you can drive are diesel turbos and

Suzuki Cappucino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 cylinder 689cc, and

Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible 4 cylinder 659 cc.

Well, I was affected by the new red P plates when they came out many years ago, to make up for the inconvenience it caused me with the power restrictions I drove like an asshole. I couldn't afford a fast car initially so just drove with my foot flat to the floor.

There is a way around everything, you can still get into plenty of trouble with Mr. plod with a slow car, just try to race everyone and don't lift your foot off the throttle to change gears.

(deep voiced disclaimer)

Please disregard this post if you have no sense of humour or are an idiot, if you just had to pause to consider if you may well be an idiot....... let me assure you ....you are!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
