Something i've heard via word of mouth... what's the status with this one?

I can't find anything about it on the rta or news websites...

True? False? In process? right-wing opinion? Someone smoking crack?

LOL, one day P-Platers may as well don't bother getting their licence.

It don't do anything to reduce the road toll like the government would like us to know.

Soon Red P Plates will only be allowed 3 cyl charades. laugh.gif

That's acctually not a bad idea, f**k off all the other bogus laws like speed limits for p platers, and this new stupid one and make them all drive small 3-4 cylinder cars

You only delay the inevitable - they will still be inexperienced when they do finally get to drive at those times.

And those that have permission to be out at those hours - shift workers, etc - will have the bejeeses harassed out of them by the police checking if they are allowed out during those hours.

Maybe if they taught people properly in the first place - now there's a novel idea!!

The red P law in WA is bull, I recently got onto my greens, and tbh I find myself in before 11. It's the freedom of knowing you can drive after 12 that people love.

All this talk about P platers should have 4 cyl cars is f****ing bull, I know a few people off their P's who shouldn't even be allowed a moped, and I also know P platers who have no problem controlling their cars.

Laws doesn't solve anything, education do help.

It's a case of nanny state going too far.

well, then i don't know where those dicks on red p's doing burnouts, and trying to drag me while i try to get home peacefully come from. because statistically, you are wrong.

maybe they think a soarer without eurolines is slow hey?

its weird because on ur L plates you're allowed to drive after midnight with supervision

but on your P plates you arent, even with supervision

.. makes no sense imo

You are also allowed to LEARN in a (turbo) Skyline - because a properly licensed driver is "in charge" of the vehicle. But who is "in control" of the vehicle? And to top it off, you technically can't drive the (turbo) Skyline home after you pass your test! WTF?

You are allowed to drive a turbo car in WA on your Ps, but not allowed to drive after midnight for the 1st 6 month...

Also I got my Skyline 2 weeks after I got my Ps :thumbsup:

But meh, since I got my full license I started to become one of the "old grumpy man" & don't really care about what is happening with the P-plater laws or what new stuff the government is trying to milk out of it.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
