hey ppls,

im from victoria and will be shortly moving to adelaide. i'll be doing my provisional practical driving test. i have done my P's test in victoria, but due to a disqualification, i had to regain my L's here which is a bit of a joke, but anyway. i rang up mitcham driving school and went to book in. i was told i should book some lessons in case things are done differently in SA to VIC and that its fairly strict getting ur P's in SA... the P's test in VIC was rediculously easy in my opinion.. i worked as a courier fo 2 years and did over 100,000kms of driving, not including over 200 hours on my L's before that.. so i wouldnt say im an inexperienced driver at all.. is it necissary to get lessons for techinical points because i just cant justify spending an extra 50 bux on 'learning' how to drive... whats involved in the test itself.. might be a silly question but im just looking for some advice on the actual process of the test in SA so i know what to expect..

thanks,

James

lol, ok thanks for that.. yeh i reckon theres some pretty stupid laws in VIC too... in victoria the learners written test is harder than the whole P's test, and the learners test in VIC is easier than the SA learners. so just wondering if the P's test is actually so strict in SA, or is it a piece of piss like VIC? :P

Bad habbits are a killer. :rofl:

Get your L's. (Sample tests here) http://www.raa.net/page.asp?TerID=192

Do the above link several times as every time you do it you get different examples.

If you get any give ways wrong you will instantly fail.

Then you can only get 11 (I think) out of 40 wrong.

I'm willing to put money on it that you will fail the multiple choice section. :D

Then do the test. You won't need a driving lesson. Just make sure you know the rules.

EDIT: Looks like you already have your L's here in SA. :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
