Over 21 perhaps? People over 21 go straight to the green P's when they pass their test.

lol so 21 year olds are MENT to be responsible straight away with a car lol?

They're still on their greens.

And stopping 21+ year olds from driving with more than one under 21yo seems a bit silly.

Exactly. Take me for example, I'm 25 and lost my licence nearly 2 years ago. Why would I care if they put me on reds (short of having to wait an extra year) and stopped me from carrying more than one <21yo in my car?

None of my mates are under 21, at least none that I hang out with on a regular basis.

There is no such thing as Straight to green p's now unless you are still under the old law before July 2007 I think (If you got your learners before that date then yes you would go straight on)...

I know this cos I called them up and they told me something like that! Im 21 and still on my red p's cos I did the stupid thing of not getting my license when I lived in portugal!! failll :P

And the law has changed, red p platers arnt allowed from the age of 16 to 22 which was previously 16 to 21...

When did she get her learners? was it ages ago before the red p's law came out?? Cos i tried everything, i tried to wait until 21 but then the new law came out, i tried to get it converted to green when i turned 21 and they told me nahh

EDIT:

Just found it in one of vic roads pdf's...

If you are over 21 you go straight one...

Humm i better recheck my case then cos since april im 21 and they told me nah, u gotta stay on ur reds! grrrr...

Just called them up and what they said was if u get ur license before 21 u will have 1 year of red p's... so if u get ur license the day before ur 21st bday then ull cop the year on reds...

I guess that means that someone exactly the same age as me (21) but with no road expirience gets less restrictions then me if the get there license today... how can this work out?? load of crap really...

stupid laws really, like how you can learn to drive with a turbo car, but once you get your license, you can't drive that car anymore.

It works out because they have to draw the line somewhere when they are creating new laws. And you can drive any vehicle on your L plates because you are supposed to have a responsible teacher by your side who would not let you speed / drag / lose control with a powerful vehicle. Also, learner drivers are declared to be some of the safest drivers on the road (as long as they are learning at the time and not going for solo joy rides).

wow.. i did not know that..

18 year olds are meant to be responsible straight away with a car :(

so question, can i teach my girlfriend to drive a manual car legally?

she's on her p's, but auto only.

^^ I'm on the same boat, anyone can answer this?

The laws go weird with this case cos:

-No/Invalid Plates = FINE and points I think

-Driving manual on a auto license = FINE

So can you drive manual on p's with an instructor next to you? Would that be going against the law since when you get on p's there is no such thing as instructor, example: you cant have an instructor next to you to drive turbo's/v8's on p's....

Grrrr, guess calling up vic roads is the best way...

Nah, you gotta leave your P's up, but print out/write on yellow paper "driver under instruction", and you're still under the same restriction as a p plater. I was in the same boat so I called up vicroads a while ago.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
