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!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
