My 2 cents:

I have just come off my P Plates this year and i owned a 1992 civic which got my around and was made of pure awesome then moved onto my Subaru which was a little more power and also AWD. (then discovered imports and am currently trying like mad to make the switch).

Regardless of if your in a bombodore or ect, You first need to learn HOW to drive and im sorry to say there are PLENTY of non-p Platers that can't indicate or MERGE..(don't even get me started) but anyways back to my point.. I am a fan of the defensive driving courses (even though i haven't attended any myself..) and the standard nothing bigger than a N/A 4 cylinder until you clear your P's. OR Like a motorbike licence a test/ect to prove you can handle a more powerful car. (get out in a R32 on the track in the wet with boost and gate love and THEN see what your made of..)

There will be people bitching and whinging about the current laws which in my opinion are fricken joke! .. They are revenue rasing not designed to teach you how to drive and some driving instructors out there are JUST as bad! maybe chuck the kids in with some of the toyo drift team or ect... =p (how to do a 3 point turn at 120kmph and look awesome)

Learn in a Corolla or a Gemini like the rest of us did. You P Platers are f**king spoilt nowadays.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy? :P

They sure are taking their take time though... I remember hearing this proposal being mentioned 2 years ago...

K, so I should be shot for having a 400rwhp GTR on P plates?

nah man. I'm no tool.

Just the other 99.9% of the population =)

saying you drove around in a 400hp gtr on your p's is not winning you any dick waving contests man

sure you didn't crash but you certainly didn't drive it within and inch of its capabilities either ill bet

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
