meh.. they should pull over p platers more.

Agreed!

Everytime I'm out riding some idiot P'plater nearly kills me because they don't do a head check or are just careless..

Actually it's not all P'platers, I get it from full licensed drivers as well.. but mostly are P'platers.

Even in the car I had some red P'plater nearly merge into my lane and hit me when I was right next to her because she didn't look back to see if there where any car's there.

The RTA needs to enforce L platers to have professional driving instructors.

I'd also like to make a note that most P'platers are hoons..

I admit when I first got my red p's I was a bit of an idiot... But I realised there are much better wasteful things to do out of the pan's or track.

I'm a green p plater but completely agree..

However I think that there should be a mandatory number of professional lessons given to an l plater before moving to red p's..

and also lessons at end of red p's to progress onto greens, reasoning behind this is that on red p plates most drivers do pick up bad habits (i've noticed it with myself too)...

but I think that they should be made to do some type of driving course...

Although on the other hand some instructors don't do their job properly.. mine was not even paying attention and I did things to see if he was paying attention, deliberately failing to use my blinker a few times (on a quiet street, no other cars) and he didn't say anything because he wasn't paying attention....

funny thing is i learnt from the RTA the other day is that when i get off my green P's next Saturday.

Im Legally allowed to teach my girlfriend(on her L's) in my skyline(turbo ofcourse)

But once she gets her P's obviously can't drive a turbo,but while on her L's its ALL LEGAL

how F'd is that?

because you're under the supervision of a fully licensed driver i suppose..

and it's not their car so I guess they took into consideration the fact that maybe the only car available to learn in eould be a turbo as the teacher HAS to be fully licensed and might possibly own one.

I was driving turbo's left right and centre on l's.. red p's too.... but have recently stopped... lol

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
