im a p plater and i drive a stock turbo 32 4 door and the cops searched under my bonnet and they didnt find anything dumb asses

They probably let you off after they realised that your car has a similar power to weight ratio as a VZ SV6 Commodore

I actually think he got let off as they felt sorry for him driving a 4 door Skyline... yet alone an R32...

yep, OR...

4-dr = mother-in-law car

mr plod didn't want to open the rear door in case he might open up a m......-...-....

The only person I can think of who I'd be comfortable in a turbo on their P's is that little champ that comes to Texi who's on his L's. I'm not saying he wouldn't take risks on the road, just that he knows how to get out of shit when his car goes sideways.

Requesting a thread lock, I think this has gone on long enough. Long story short, if you're on your P's and driving a turbo, you deserve to get f**ked over by the police. You might think it's unfair, but it's the rules, and as Corinne has said, stats back it up. I got my liner at 22, and it scared the living shit out of me for quite some time.

I'm a 20 year old P Plater, I drive a POS 94 Falcon with 18's and a sound system, and I constantly get stopped by the cops because of all the other morons on P plates that drive around doing burnouts trying to be tough. If it wasn't for all the kids that just got their licence doing stupid shit, I'd be able to drive around in peace.

But I guess trying to be a hero is more important than your wallet and your freedom that a car gives you.

I'm quite content to just putt around in my falcon until I get off my P plates and can buy an R34 GT-T that I can take to a track. There's a time and a place for everything, but racing through a busy town isn't one of them.

Clue up fools, if you want a turbo car, work for it and wait until you can drive it legally, not risk your life and everyone elses just because your mates think you cool.

Is nice to hear a young'in with a brain :)

I was going to buy a turbo car on my p's...

But I didnt, instead I bought a BMW E30 after I got my greens...

Why? Its a stroker, I spent time building the thing and driving it through as many twistie roads as I could...

It could beat stock wrx's and r32 gtst's and one time beat a VE SS ute up a hill..

I guess with a 2.7L stroker with a hot cam, and being 1000kg rwd is of an advantage,

Here are some pics of it, I still miss it even though I sold it afew months ago!

I did alot of stupid shit in it, but never got defected or anything, just the random search the car and warnings if I did something stupid. i guess I was lucky and cops do appreciate a classic...

Anyways point being said is I bought a Manual RWD car and taught myself how to drive manual in it, and learnt how to fix the car and modify it myself, had a whole blog to doing shit to the thing... I only sold it because I am 2 months away from my FULLS and will buy a Turbo car now, after learning how to drive a manual rwd car properly...

So do yourself a favour, buy a light rwd manual car, learn to drive it properly, so then when you do get your rwd turbo, you dont jump from a FWD N/a to something you cant handle...

Hmmm, indeed, this thread has gone long enough.

If you haven't already noticed, no-one thinks you're "cool" if you STILL want to flout the laws (or pretend they don't exist or apply to you) by choosing to drive a turbocharged or otherwise restricted car while you're on your P's.

Why is that so hard to understand?

    • 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?
