well considering nearly every low powered car these days is turbo charged, this rule was brought in at exactlly the wrong time.

SO I can drive a 200+kw XR6 or SV6

but not a 1L 90 kw fiesta...

or say ANY Volvo on market today as that would not be safe...

yes I know these cars started getting exceptions but they had to modify build plates and such which is such a joke.

the P plate laws never affected me, (obviously) but damn they were the biggest pile of turd the vic gov ever created.

Way too much effort. I'm sure it's on the internet..

On a semi related note

Need to concentrate on education rather than speed kills

Saw this on bookface yesterday

The types of p-platers that are dickheads on the road are going to go fast and crash no matter what the car. Restricting them won't do anything, they will still do the same thing in a 4cl Camry.

It will stop some crashing.

Go drive a 300kw skyline and tell me that won't increase your chances if losing it

Definitely more tempting to speed in a skyline than it is in a plain Jane car.

Look at all my traffic light Grand Prixes...wouldn't happen if I had a slow car / maturity,

I find that I accelerate harder in the skyline (pedal percentage) than I do in my families cars (Liberty and Mazda 6 and VE Wagon), yet I find that I speed more in their cars for some reason :|

I find it's easier to subconsciously speed in the slower/more comfortable cars because you feel like you're going slower.
It's definitely easier to consciously speed in the skyline though :P

can still do that now in the Golf R32's. most are P-plater owned now.

vr6 engine sounds tits though

an acquaintance of mine had one. but still $$ for most p platers i'd say... especially if they're still studying / don't have parental handouts

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
