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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
