Yeah, it's still 25 hours.

And the changes come into effect on 30/06/2008, not next year.

Apparently those effected will receive green P plates in the mail. So don't worry bout having to buy another set :banana:

Oh yeah! $ saved there :P

At least its good to see theres no turbo ban for P plates coming to WA yet...

seems a bit strange that the government would say,

"well, we think you can drive, so here's your P plates, but we don't really think you can drive, so no driving between 12 - 5am"

you'd think the general public would be angry at the government, as they are the ones letting people drive (good old media, taking the blame away from the government)..... unless there's another way to get your licence ??? I've heard cereal boxes have been good over the years :D

Mine came in the mail today LOL.

As for the HPT.. I wasn't laughing, I was about to stab someone due to the stupidly long instructions making me frustrated lol.

Ok I might be sounding like an old man by saying this...

Alright so the majority of people get there P's when they turn 17. In 6 months time, you will still be 17. What the hell do you need to be out on the roads after midnight for? It's not like your capable of going to areas that require you to be 18 years or older. If your out cruising around in your car after midnight your either doing stupid shit like drag racing or speeding in the majority of cases. There are exceptions to this for people who have a genuine reason for being out but the majority of the time its technically true.

Thats my 2 cents.

I have to disagree with you there. Infact the only time I probably wouldn't be driving between those hours is when I'm drinking lol.

Woo i got my 2nd phase test on the 30th i should pass it.. Only thing i failed last time was reverse parallel.. YEW! i miss the 6 month wait ! f**k YER BOY

Where did you do your test? When I did my driving test (@ midland) the driving guy didn't even ask for a parallel park, only a reverse & another one where I got to choose (which I just did a simple straight in :P )

I'm still waiting for my green Ps, I'm not paying another $3...

So you get green ps which means u cant drive at night / no alcohol.

Then you got Red P's saying that you can drive at night / 0.02 reading?

Whats this red/green p's? a mixed of the two?

Red P's = the first 6 months = no driving at night & no alcohol.

Green P's = after the first 6 months = you can drive whenever but still can't have alcohol.

When I said red/green P's, I was refering to the actual P-plates that the DPI sent out to those effected, as they're red on one side and green on the other lol.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
