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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
