aha so that was you! "kthxbye" plate or something? Bayside blue ftw, nice car :P

Hoping to god I pass tomorrow, luckily my friend's dad is a driving instructor and fitted me in last min cause I had no other manual other than the GTR lol, not turning up in that haha.

You would need to call the cops as they are the ones who issue traffic infringements for things like that. I work in Licensing with DPI and we don't issue traffic infringements so you will need to contact the boys in blue mate :)

Not sure on what the penalties would be but not too long ago I was caught driving a friends car which was manual and I have a C-A License (since upgraded to C Class). The police officer told me I would receive a court summons and he said it would be a 50/50 chance I would lose my license. I have court in September so I will find out more then. I hope I do get off with just 2 demerits and a fine. Would be a big relief.

Not sure if the judge will go any easier on me for having obtained a manual license since then :-/ I will tell you though in September what the fine is aha :)

I had a mate get caught driving on his L's and it was only like a 50 dollar fine or something. (Maybe 250?) It was super minor at any rate, I really doubt you'll lose your liscense over it.

Unless there is more to the story.

Driving out of class? not sure what the penalty is but one of my mates got done for driving out of class when riding a big bike on his small bike license, didn't get kaned so I don't think it was that huge a fine/penalty.. or I could be completely wrong!

out of class laws have change for bikes its now 3 points and $150 OR $500 can't remember which one

i heard from a friend the first time is a warning and the 2nd time is a fine then the 3rd time is a loss of licence but this is for nsw laws. now im not sure if this is with ur car registered in ur name or someone elses.

I personally drove my 33 (manual) on an auto license since i was 19 (21 now). Pulled over once and go 2 point deduction. I asked the cop if i get caught again what would happen because i honestly didn't know the consequences and was weighing up the option weather to go and just get my manual. He was a very nice guy, he said its better if you go get ur license or if you can afford losing 2 point each time u get caught.

All this being said im guessing its just points deductions as he said nothing about loss of license but i could be wrong. I ended up just driving since i think im a very competent driver and don't speed. Have not been pulled over since.

What about ur insurance?

Not only comprehensive but 3rd party both to vehicle and persons.....

not a smart idea mate.

I agree with you, looking back at it i would have gone about things differently. I decided to take the risk back then but it also left me feeling sick every time i drove out of the garage.

My friend doesnt have an account on here and would like to know what happeneds if your pulled up in a manule car and you only have your auto licnece has anyone been pulled over for this?

he rang licneceing center but they didnt know anything

My mate had a car crased a month ago and his fault. He got auto license but his car was manual. Best thing he fined only 150 bucks and 3 demerits points.. But worst things, thats long weekend and double demerits and insurance doesnt pay.. Cost about almost 8grant for the other car damage..

Hope that helps.. Tell your mate go with the law

I look down on people with only an auto licence if theyve had there licence for a year or more .

Maybee thats unfair but thats just the way i feel . If your going to drive a performance car or a manual then just go get your licence . I would never drive a car without having 3rd party property (or ride a bike for that matter) because theres too many expensive cars out there waiting to be hit (think of the medical on a family with neck injuries too).

When peoples grandkids say "pappaa why are we all crack addicts with sores all over our bodies?"

Pappaa says "well its like this greebo . 70 years ago i couldnt be bothered getting the right class licence and drove into a mercedes while swerving to miss a cat (there were still cats back then). I was only a minor crash but that $170 bill put me behind all my life"

My uncle , now hes no crack addict BUT he has been behind all his life , looking back which would you choose .

Im not trying to put anyone down here im just posting a view .

ps >im a hypocrite because i drift and hoon occasionaly on the street so i have no high ground here .

mmm cereal time .

How hard is it to get your manual licence?

wtf is wrong with people?

If you don't have the effort or motivation to go do a simple test, and you know you're good to drive a manual car, you've got nothing going for you. Jump.

It was pure convenience of being able to get my licence super fast with auto.

Also the lack of manual cars in my family meant i couldnt do the test.

Im going to book in a test close to when my licence expires

Skyryan, its not the easiest thing passing a manual test these days cause of hoons, you get pinged for absolutely everything. Right at the start of my test, I pulled out onto the main road which is 3 lane (1 right only and far left is normal + left turn) and I chose the far left and the assessor commented on how I'm the only one to have done that for a long time, points lost if you didn't. There's so many ridiculous trivial things to get done for and its hard to concentrate cause as a beginner you have to worry about what gear your in etc.

Also, you have no idea how hard it is to resist going for a drive in the GTR when you have it sitting sadly in the garage on auto Ps.... (Thankfully I never did that :D )

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
