hi there

im from vic and was wondering what the legal age for driving was in sa??

i've heard that it is 16 years and 6 months

and that you have to get 50 hours practice??

is this true??

cheers guys and girls

Not to sure at the moment but it used to be 16 years u could get ur Ls and the hold it for 9 months pass ur test and get ur P Plate....but in saying that was over 10 years ago :D

Well in '96 I got my L's on my 16th birthday (July 8), and then they day I was 16yrs 6mnths (Jan 8th) I had my P's :O

Think its still the same age but the age thing. Check out the link Cara posted

just checked the link and turns out that i was right.

get your l's at 16

p1's at 16 6months

you hold you p1s for 1 year and your p2s for 2 years.

you guys are lucky

down in vic l's at 16

p1s at 18

p1s for a year and p2s for 2 years

anyway thanks for your help guys

hahaha when i got my license i think you only had to wait like 3 months i had 3 driving lessons and took to the roads with the test instructor and got 3 marks against me :D wohoo P's first time in a manual

and what used to be centerlink and job search they paid for my driving lessons :O

thats how it should be i think same as vic, give the kids more time to learn how to drive instead of handing them what can be consided a lethal weapon 6 months down the track after getting their L's

my 2c ne ways

Kind of agree with you Cara. I'll admit, at 16 I had already been driving on and off for a few years when I went bush with my dad, so I had some prior knowledge of how to handle a car.

BUT majority of ppl on still have no idea on how to control their hormones at 16 let alone a car ;)

i dont see why they got rid of the instructor thats a pretty nerve racking experience and if you can pass that test in a manual then i think your ready to drive

did anyone watch the last chance learners tv show was soo funny

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
