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

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 have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
