P platers will always find trouble in any car.. but with these new laws there will be less chance of more serious accidents!!

i agree with the laws completely.. (if i was on my P's i would probly think different)

but the truth is.. p platers seriously cant drive.. except some.. but they will always try and push themselves and its only a matter of time! Get them in little 4cylinder cars and when the time comes hopefully they can appreciate the power

with motorcycles you start on a small bike... and u have to hold your R-E licence for at least a year before you can obtain your big bike licence! which is great.. i surely would be dead if i went straight onto a 1000cc bike!! haha

Bikes are different though, you can still get stupidly fast 250's, and it's only a year, not 2.

I'm still a little undecided on this though.

I think just knowing that they're planning to reduce P-platers to only 4 points has changed my driving habbits lol, and I wasn't exactly that bad before anyway.

you can still get some fast 4 cylinders..

maybe the government should make it compulsary to complete a defensive driving course before you aquire your P's.. teach them how to have some sort of control when in a sticky situation?!

Yeah, and they end up on the banned list too if the eastern states is anything to go by. Also, they want to ban all power modifications too, so basically, nothing short of an E30 M3, S2000 or DC5 integra type R would be remotely fast.

Agree'd. I think it should be a similar course to GT4 for licences lol.

sorry for digging up such a old thread but i got a question. isn't it a breach of human rights to ban people driving a specific vehicle? eg. turbo/supercharged/8cyl

yes its a breach of human rights definately.

they should also allow us to fly helicopters in churches.

Fiddy kiddlers, drug dealers and murderers get a slap on the wrist.. Whilst we get reamed in the 'you-know-where' because of what car we drive and cult culture stigma... I see a point to what Mingy is saying.. One step closer to communism I reckon... Next they will tell us to never eat meat and live on a vegetarian diet for as long as we live...

^^^

We are more closer to Communism then you think...

Look at the government's plan to set up mandatory internet filtering to all Australians; the live trials are expected to begin soon... now the only countries that I know have this kind of filtering is China & (I think) North Korea.

I'll paint my skyline red + Russian flags & welcome our new "unconditional, unchallenged" government masters... :) for if I disagree I'll be silenced...

permanently.

Can this show get anymore 1 sided and fear mongering.

- Weather it was the 3 test subjects (ask any scientists.... 3 test subjects is far too small to indicate anything, the 17 year old could have just been a crap driver).

- The fact they conveniently forgot to mention that more P platers are dying now than before because they raised the time from 1 year to 3.

- The so called experts and families, of course a road safety "expert" and victims families are going to be one sided.....

I personally have seen just as many 30+ year olds driving the same if not worse than the average P plater (people in suites, van drivers, idiots on phones, mums with kids.... etc)

Media is always going to make p platers look bad even though alot speed and hoon around etc not all p platers are like that but to everyone else - were all the same.

I always get 25yr+ pulling up next to me wanting to race in there commodores maybe because I drive a skyline yet it happned in my old magna all the time. tsk tsk btw anyone have a link to were i can watch the report i only saw the last half :banana:

Cheers

authorities should invest in driver training courses for p platers - that way at least if they do get into a situation they will know what to do - other than that maybe they should be restricted to a 4CYL car for the first yr.

+1 to Taining, Restrictions would be good but would only create problems when people push there 1.8L Getz's and those cars cant handle thos speeds maybe a more intense Training program that based on there results would maybe detrmine -4cyl , 6cyl, 8cyl and if they ace it 12cyl :cheers: but i dont reeli know how the should do it.

other than that maybe they should be restricted to a 4CYL car for the first yr.

not such a bad idea i guess for the first year... although ive had my 6CYL ever since i got my license and ive never had a prang or anything like that (touch wood!) just gotta be careful, i was always way to scared that the police would take my car away from me if i did anything wrong :cheers:

I cant believe that people would actually take that show (or any other current affair/today tonight show) seriously?

That thing that limits your speed by GPS i think would be more dangerous as it limits your speed to the legal speed. How do you accelerate out of situations, its not always about braking to avoid a hazard.

I think more driver training would be the most beneficial to new drivers and encourage drivers to use track and drag venues by reducing the costs and making more events.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
