Hi, most of you know, I have a black R33 GTR and I'm on RED Ps. I just got pulled over on the eastern bypass for a "random" breathliser. Blew 0.00, then the dickhead proceeded to tell me I had no P plates up. So I pointed to them and he says theyr illegal. I have white P plates with the P written in RED. Apparently this is illegal. Same goes for green. Has to be green plate and white P. As a result, I've been fined $100 for being "Provisional driver type 1A. Fail to display Red P plate (first 6 months)". Get a f@#$ing life, I AM DISPLAYING RED P PLATES, JUST LIKE THE ONES DPI GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PASS YOUR TEST!!

What was even more bs, was the senior officer came up and then started chatting about skylines, mentioning how his brother in law has a R34 and how I service it at XSpeed with Hanson cause I have a sticker there. FFS I HELL WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHILST YOUR JUNIOR OFFICER FINES ME!!!! Then the young f@#$wit asks to open my bonnet, so I do and the can't sticker me for anything cause my car is totally legal, bastards.

No, I have had previous cars. Mum gave me $2k for my first and I sold it and made a few dollars. Since then I been doing the same till I could afford one. Now I have one and only owe a small amount to my folks.

No, didn't loose any demerit points thankfully.

YO. 100 bucks a plate if ya don't have em up. no demerits. just fines.

the red plate with white lettering is what you have to display, as it lets pork know if you're on curfew or not. that's why they're illegal. DPI had a shortage of the new plates for a while (which is retarded. around northam when they came out, no one could get them, and as a result coppers stung shitloads of people).

advice: take it on the chin and get some aunger-brand electro-statics.

and shit goddamn dude, congrats on getting gt-r on ya p's. what area are you in?

You got off lightly...

I'd hate to see your blood pressure if they gave you a yellow sticker...

It comes with the territory of being on your provisional license, the cops will nit-pick you for anything they can... it's suppose to scare P-Platers straight, I'm not saying your a bad motorist, but that was their way of making sure you know not to test the law.

I speak from experience, I haven't been pulled over the last 2 years I've had my full license, but I still shit my pants when I see the police, hahaha :)

Yeah I jus got hit with my second of these fines, and there'r no demerits, for the people wondering.

Figure it's easier to just drive the folk's car without them than transfer the plates from car to car, since getting caught in your skyline without plates is big f**king trouble I imagine =D

Haha, it wasn't the fact I got angry that I'd been fined, its just what I was fined for. When I drove up to them and did the breathiliser etc, I was calm - knowing I didn't have any drinks and my car was totally legal... Man I've had other cops not mention a single thing about them too :S

Yeh that sucks man, stupid law.

Funny though haha, when i spotted you driving down the great eastern yesterday i actually thought to myself "he still has the white P-Plates, i wonder if he gets in trouble for that"

Probably going to just pay it, I looked it up and I am technically wrong. However, the copper told me they had been phased out for a year but I've only had my license for 5 months and in that time I bought numerous sets of P plates (for diff cars, cbf transferring) and some were white with red P and others red P white background.... How am I supposed to know :S I just bought whatever was available, usually from sevos and such.....

the plates have been like that since june last year (would be before you got your license if your still on reds) so theres really no excuse to still be driving around with white background plates. you were in the wrong and got fined for it, thats life

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
