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 Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
