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..

doubt it, every commo I see is sunken to the max :P

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

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
