Buy yourself something N/A and lightweight, go to the track and have some fun, do some driver training, then when your off your P's not only will you have the ABILITY to drive a turbo car to its full extent, but the thrill you will get of going from a lowish powered N/A car to a high powered turbo car will DEFINITELY be worth the wait.

Just the feeling of getting your license and being independent is good enough, i wouldnt jeopardise that IMO.

Think of it this way, if you get caught, you wont be able to go round to that girls house in the middle of the night with no license and car :P

I reckon you would have to be mad to risk it-

I have had my unrestricted licence for years, but every time I get signalled into a roadside RBT station, (at least 4 times in the last 6 months!) the first question they ask is "are you a P-plater?"... Must be the childs face I have on..

drove my car on my p's for about 4 months everyday... just dont display your p-plates and avoid late night driving..

I dont recommend you do this but if you have no choice thats the best thing to do...

Highway patrol's can quite easily catch you... but if its a normal patrol car on the street just hope he doesnt take a second look at you...

GL !

its absurd how many P platers run turbo cars and just happen to have gotten there licence before the restrictions came in. :laugh:

The restriction came out in July 2005, so to have gotten your red p before it came in would mean being on your P plates without being disqualified for 5 years.

I got my Red p in 2003 and have been on p plates ever since due to one disqualification that came from driving while suspended for fine default.

Personally I drive a turbo car everyday, even though the restriction was added for me in 2007. I've had v8's and turbos before that, so It's basically a punishment, not a safety concern. I haven't put a p plate on any of my cars for about 1 year now, but I don't look like a p driver and my licence doesn't say Provisional across the top because its a heavy vehicle driver licence, that probably helps.

A old mate of mine had his licence suspended for 10 yrs because he kept driving whilst disqualified, He initially lost it for being booked a few times and lost his 12 points, if you dont need a licence and have lots of money to pay fines go for it but think of the long term consequences

id risk it, you only live once, right?

Terrible advice. Yeah you only live once, so why make it miserable with no license and losing money from fines? And like the dude above me said, when it's midnight and you wanna drive to your missus' house... GL.

im 16 and still on my ls and i bought a 3.6l v6 storm like 3 weeks ago and id do anything to be on my ps just because of the freedom not to thrash my car.. im goin to try avoid any run in with the cops while on my ps. ill be on my best behaviour :D seriously.

LOL, those 3.6L are shit...Should have bought a slightly older 3.8L... They just love to skid!

They are...

The older V6 commodores love to get on the break... The 3.6L prefer to make power in revs over torque, and aren't as easy to have fun with.

yeah i figured bout the revs over torque.. but thanks i guess. though it is a ute so end is gonna come out easy anyways :D.

ha thats the dream right there, but $$,$$$ :P

i want a Patrol 4.2 TD, a car trailer and a R34 GTR - patrol is my towing car, daily and 4WD/Adventure/ long road trip awesome car :D and the GTR, well duh :P << thats my dream :D

Thats my dream right there would love a 4.2td patrol or i heard theres a 5 ltr turbo diesel v8 coming out soon in the patrol range. Im also on my green p's and lost my licence once before in my last r32 as i was speeding and he seen my boost guage lit up and the blitz bov, but this new R32 i bought yesterday was trailored straight to my dads shed and is gunna be a project also wouldnt mind drifting it at some stage so a pootrol is on the cards and a car trailer.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
