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...

ah ah ahhhh,a 6L ls2 tt Charade :D

RIP - yes, down here we already have those p plate laws

and yes, the people in the media are fckwits who dont know shit.......probably was next to a bystander who was talking about v8 supercars at the time, and thought that they were talking about the car involved in the crash...

Guys whats with these new p plate laws.

Wanting to ban turbo,supercharged and v8 cars.Were all next!

Pulse of perth was running a poll to see if the people want these laws!

To vote no Call 1902 559 078.

Lets not let them win cause we could be next.

i have advised all my family and friends to call so please do pass the message.

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

Police media always hype stuff up. No one from the public will question it. They use big words or numbers...'$6000 worth of engine modifications', to us means sfa but to the average joe who doesn't spend anything on their car $6k will sound like lots of money to spend on top of a car.

Most of the journalists from those media organisations don't know sfa about cars, and just rely on the Police for correct infomation. I've read Police media releases from hoon incidents etc and there is always something wrong with them.

A proper journalist would make sure those facts are correct by checking them with other sources, however I guess with some of them they need the news to be out straight away leaving very little time to check up on the infomation given.

How did they find out the 180 had $6,000 worth of engine mods? Ask the dude while he lies half dead in IC to fill out a modification form and show them reciepts? lol. Police want to get a big point across about modified cars, and unfortunately this guy's f*ck up has been use to bring that point across. It probably just had a china exhaust & $20 air filter and thats it.

we def need restrictions on P platers... ffs, who in their right mind would allow a new driver to get behind the wheel of anything powerful or worked is just beyond me... RIP to the passenger :glare:

Parents these days just have no friggen idea... or don't care? I just don't get it.

I agree... I had 2 v8's on my p's and I'm still kickn,

BUT there are some absolute f*ck wit P platers out there. I reckon p platers should be allowed high powered car but they need a special licence which requires training or a shorter leash, ei no tolerance to hooning

Edit: lol, my sister will be spewing, she just bought a $12,000 VS ute with a VT 5L in it, and shes 16 n shes been saving and saving while working a HJ's. hahahahaha

do you really think they will air the real results on TV of this phone in, this is the media we are talking about, phone away if you like, but that means that you have to trust what Pulse of Perth tell you afterwards.

Sorry man... I kind of think its a good idea too. If I had something as powerful as even my NA R33 was, I would have been in serious trouble while on my P's, never mind the turbo R34. Nothing wrong with waiting for a couple of years to get a turbo/v8. Too many stupid deaths because of people on their P's being stupid. I know there are some who are responsible, and I even know a few. But the statistics speak for themselves

yeah and they are the one that are suppose to be training the little barstards to drive.

I tell you what, If I was going to teach my kids to drive i'd get them to do basic driving school, then defensive driving, then advanced driving drill it into there heads that if they f**k up and crash they will die. bang dead... even if they survive, I'll kill em... lol :glare:

Parents these days just have no friggen idea... or don't care? I just don't get it.

mandatory defensive driving test instead of HPT test? use some of the money they make from speed cameras to help fund the defensive driving tests

could be new campaign slogan 'speeding now saves lives'

doesn't matter how much training or education you give some people they will always remain the same. and the end result for them will be the same.

also IT may give some younger drivers a false senses of im a good driver now just because i have done a driving course

yeah, im sick and tired of getting "revved" up by p platers etc. i had a kid in a vs commie come up next to me whilst im doing 75km's in a 80 zone and "kick" back his auto and ring the freakin neck off the v6 and take off past me. i then thought to myself......for what? -too pick up some cred from a guy who he is never going to see again? the +'s and -'s dont add up. do the speed limit and casually cruise up next to the guy/girl and give thumbs up if ya want. makes everyones day better. keeps the grannies from cursing at ya and keeps the police from pulling out the vaso

Thats exactly it. I have a friend who bought an S15. Some of the people on this forum would know about this. He always drove quite cautiously. After one driver training day on the skid pan, he thought he was a good driver and put his car sideways into a pole. The car was a right off.

also IT may give some younger drivers a false senses of im a good driver now just because i have done a driving course

always be a few new drivers that will think that, and they would speed even if they had not done the course, but for the rest of them, esp with wet roads conditions at the moment, should have a better understanding of how to control a car

Even though I had a v8 and also daily drove a 911 while on my P's, I agree with the power ban.

Kids have a lot more access to fast cars nowadays and seem to not learn to drive in bunkies but jump straight to a light, tail happy, turbo import OR big, fat, horribly handling, ADM v8s.

Personally, I think P platers should ONLY be allowed to drive 4cyl N/A's with less than 100kW. All these 6cyl family cars are just as dangerous as the imports or fat v8s.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
