the council conpired against me, planting trees to obstuct a stop sign, knowing that if i passed my test i would be placing several lives in danger with my car

PS. I am preparing for the shit i will get in the next couple of days...

Bad luck mate. My 2c... driving a powerful car on your Ps, meh its attitude. But driving a nice car when you are inexperienced, ie missing stop signs, following cars too closely, braking too late, even parking, so many of my friends have bumped things trying to park:(

Can i ask how many / kms hrs you reckon you have done whilst on your Ls?

Dont worry too much , i failed the 1st time. They claim i parked in a dangerous and unsafe manner?!? Basically he told me to angle park, and one of the cars was over his white line so it was a tight squeeze to get the car in, but i gave the tester as much space as possible to get out so cramped my side of the car. Apparently i should have told the tester the space is too small and looked for another. LOL despite the fact the i was still between the white lines and i could still get out my side of the car:)

Yeah they are reaaaaaalllllyyy tight now. Everything else was perfect except for that... i wanted to punch that assesor.

Hmmm i have driven alot. Normally drive everyday to school for 30min for the past 2 years. + any other trips. So it would be alot.

Ahh well better luck next time :D

I actually had the same thing on my driving test. But someone had stolen the sign!!!

I stopped and looked at the pole and went "ummm" then saw the solid line on the road so I knew it was a stop sign, but yeah. I am pretty sure they do things like that deliberately.

Never mind, you failed for a reason and I guess your just not ready for the roads, thats why they have these tests. I'm sure you do fine next time. Just keep your eyes peeled and remember to look for the unbroken white line if there is no stop sign visible.

 

i know you think you can drive, but only 1 lession before the test??? i had 4 lessions and that was for an auto lisence not because i needed them for skill but i learnt so much from the instructor re safety, learning the roads, how to 3-point turn/parallel park properly by their rules etc... the fact that you are asking SAU how to change gears before a turn/roundabout means you are in serious trouble at the minute

if you ask me i would say postpone the test for 2 weeks (what's 2 weeks in the context of a lifetime of driving) go get some lessions and tee-up the car you are going to use. learn from your lessions, don't show off to the instructor. they are trained to teach you.

please read the above

it would have saved you the embarrassment of failing a test but you learnt the hard way

as Hours said, you failed for a reason - you aren't up to the standard. don't use excuses...

go get some lessons

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
