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!!

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
