learners can drive ANYTHING. you can even do your test in a turbo car. BUT as soon as you get your license you are not allowed to drive them anymore. It seems odd but its because your learners is only stating you can be at the wheel its the open license holder who is the one with the actual license which you must abide by, so say if they can only drive autos then the learner can only drive autos while they are the open license holder. there is my rant for the day :ninja:

Same goes for motorbike license.

You can learn on any bike (I learned on a 1200cc Suzuki Bandit)

Then you get limited to 250cc. (That is, if you dont do Q-Ride and go straight to open bike license)

unrelated rant:

Some tool in his kitted vt(something like that) commonwhore with his "Brisabne Commodore car club" sticker on his back window with his altessa tail lights that DID NOT WORK and his P plates thought it was ok to give me the finger for nearly smashing up his arse cause he decided to stop at a yellow light (which is fair enough,but no red brake lights to inndicat he was stopping) and i did not realise he was going to stop cause his TAIL LIGHTS were not working..

Morale of the story, being a P plater in a non turbo skyline is cooler then being a tool in a commodore that has a load exhaust and blah blah blah..

Wish I was not with the missus at the time.. could have wrote off the 1.5ltr lancer up the arse of some f**kwit bogan and got away with it.. (i think.. his tail lights were not working so he would have been at fault)

on the topic of q ride, i think they are changing that law now, so that even if you get your licence through q ride, you will have to ride a 250 for the first year.

i think that kicks in 1st of July.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah your about right, there are lesser loop holes as of 1st of July hence the sudden increase in bike licence applications...

Im not sure on what rules they decided on but year their stopping people jumping to big bikes until they have more experience...

The Laws for Q-rides have got a full overhaul.

If you get it done before the end of june then you will get an open bike, if not, its 250cc only!

Expect the price of 250cc sports bikes to skyrocket again!

If you want an open, do it today!!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
