Going for my test next friday!! WHOOHOO, anyone got any pointers?

I have to work on my lead foot though, im speeding a bit too much... My driving instructor thinks ill pass as long as i remember a few things such as checking my mirrors and keeping to speed limits, not reving the car etc... :) I can only try :)

I have a car linned up... only prob is it isnt mine yet :) My mum convinced my brother to give me his car, but he didnt sign the forms before he went to london for 2 years last week... I only have email to contact with him and dont know how i am going to get the forms to him with out him having an address for longer than a few days ... Or if where he is staying will pass them on...

Anyone going to the uk in the next few weeks?????????

Ill give the transport licencing place a call.

Wouldnt be such a problem if the car was licenced, id just drive it around and wait untill i could get him to sign the form, but i have to take it over the pits and hes gotta sign the licencing papers, so that plan went out the window.

anyways, all of you keep your fingers crossed for me next friday morning :)

Ill let you know what happends.

good luck kyles! :)

where u doin your test?

ummmm best tip i can give is STOP for stop signs hahaahah yes i know its an obvious 1 but i know alot of ppl who hav failed a test becoz they didnt come to a complete dead stop and instead rolled through (i was told by my driving instructor that this gets most ppl who do there test at welshpool as there is a stop sign rite out front)

taking pop for a sunday drive huh?

I think that would stress me out more knowing my pop would suprise me with somthing, this is a man who nailed my mums shoes to the floor to stop her going out when she was younger, haha...

Update on the car situation.... I spoke to transperth and they said that my brother can just send me a letter.. and hes agreed to do that so all i gotta do is get the bloody thing road worthy... DOH!!

good luck , youll be ok , just dont be nervous, ask the instructor to chat to u a bit, while he sits there marking his clip board like a mofo, say do i get any extra marks for being sexy , or if you fail you could tell him unless he passes you , you will place a voodoo curse on him that will shrink his p. that will ensure you a pass at the least

good luck kyles,

i did my test up at joondalup in jan, and its pretty calm streets up there. just be careful about all the different coloured (paved, bitumen roads around the center) cos that got one of my mates, he was cruising down the parking area thinking it was a lane :D. watch out if they take you over into the industrial area with AussiePost, its only 50 down there and they nearly got me for that.

keep cool and it all should be fine, dont get stressed if u make a few bad shifts to begin with, they wont fail you for something that small - and heck u can make a few mistakes and still pass first time :).

Thanks everyone,

well i had a driving lesson with troy thisarfternoon and neally crashed the car.. (NOT MY FAULT) but enough to rattle the nurves.

Wonaroo road at 4.45 in the afternoon of all places, turning into shell, the stupid car stalls, and the wheel locks, and i was going pretty fast... anyways, neally went into the island curb. Slamed on the breaks, neally had a 4wd up my tush... Prob was i had to reverse to get out and correct the car... with traffic behind me, that wouldnt give me a break... ahhh... got out eventually thankgoodness. And the stalling the car wasnt my fault, the computer is playing up...

not the best thing to have happen considering my test is in the morning

Don't worry

The day before my sister in law got her license she put my car into a drainage ditch.You'll be fine so don't stress.

But if you do get it let me know so I can buy a multirider ticket

I have been diagnosed with leadfooditus. My instuctor said i was a fantastic driver, but because of that, too confident, and was 9km over the limit... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I was concentrating on everything else, I wasnt paying much attention to the speedo, so he failed me ... but... Hes coming to my reastaurant where i work on sunday for breakfast i found out, rotten eggs for him i think ...

Ouch, on my test (at Joondalup aswell) it had just stopped raining, on the big roundabout near the hospital I couldn't see the lines on the two lanes of the roundabout becuase of the reflection from the rain off the road, and went through the middle. Halfway thru (was going straight) I noticed that it was a two lane rounda bout...oops, but the guy testing me let me do it again :rofl: it would have been an instant fail. Just after this roundabout I was turning left onto Lakeside drive (?) and spun the wheels, then chirped second (unintentionally!!) and I don't think he noticed!!

Somehow after all that I passed :P

good luck with the retest, how long is the wait? My instructor was always saying bullshit like the waiting list was 4 months long or something, yet my step-bro got one two weeks after ringing Licencing...

Just keep your confidence, seriously have a root if you can before the test get the tension out of you.

I failed my first test cause i lost my temper when the car stalled but i felt i drove so much better when i was pissed off.

Go for a drive with a friend or something before aswell and just let them tell you where to go etc ALSO make sure you are uptodate on your parking especially parrallel parking.

gtr, a month my instuctor said.

Maby i should go down to the drags, get all the speed out of my system, and then the next day, ill drive like a granny...

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
