So if we have 12 now, when the laws come in it'll automatically drop down to 4? Or only if you get your P's after the laws come in? Cos how many people have less then 8 demerit points left? If that happens, so many people would unfairly lose their license!

I'm sure I read somewhere a few months ago that if/when they bring this change in if you have less than 12 points you will still have 4. They won't be able to take people's licences over it. I'll try find it.

When you get pulled over DON'T ADMIT ANYTHING!

Thats how you get into trouble for shit you didn't do.

When I was on my P's with my Torana, Cops used to harass me all the time accusing me of things a I definitely didn't do, They would yell, threaten and swear at me trying to get my to admit to doing burnouts/speeding.

Even when I did do something wrong, like driving at 130km per hr on the brand hwy going to Geraldton in my pulsar. They pulled me over, breathized me and asked if I knew how fast I was going. I said I knew but didn't admit to speeding. He then said we clocked you at 130kmph, I shrugged and didn't say anything. after that he just let me go...

On that note, Don't break the law, its bad. lul

yep the news is getting it wrong agian.

was a 180sx, P Plater, Passenger (16year old girl) died.

then on Friday night, commodore lost it at high speeds, hitting a pole, chopped it in half and throwing a girl in the back seat into on coming traffic (A Subaru WRX) which chopped of her leg.

Crazy weekend I tell yah..

^^^ haha I agree..

But WA is so far behind from Eastern states, they've already got all the bans on P Platers on what they can drive. yet over here hasnt followed

R.I.P to the girl

Edited by viet_boi

yeah true, but just feel sorry for the girl..its always the passenger that dies..

seen to many similiar shit on tv about a P plater guy speeding, crash, passenger (Girl) die.....guys showing off i guess?

2L, 4 cylinder engines don't sound to powerful. Was the Commodore a V8? Cos no matter how powerful a car is, you can do something stupid and kill yourself with it. Even a Charade...

I was just talking to my dad about this and agree completely. You're going to be able to go at high speeds and do stupid things in any car. It's down to the driver being smart enough to realise what they are capable of doing safely.

I've driven my mum's car (1.6L Protege) at over 40km/h over the limit without even noticing. Then I'll drive my car (2.5L Non-turbo R33) at just over the limit, but I've driven a few turbo cars, and I keep it at the limit. Not sure how it works, but the more powerful the car, the slower you drive. If that makes sense?

Didn't they say something like it's had $6,000 worth of engine mods, converted to supercharger or something.

Either way, does anyone remember the number to vote 'no' on the p plater performance ban, just so all the mums watching the tv don't win by default.

P plate performance ban could be anything :| half the camrys on the road are quicker than the NA skylines and silvias lol, blah 5 star rating, it wouldnt happen if there was actually suspension in place, that said, sad incident though and that driver is going to have to live with it. The other guy in the WRX wont be able to drive for sometime now

    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
