Ok guys.

I have been asked if I could get opinions from people (P-platers mostly) on the new laws that are being talked about and what you think.

I have about a fortnight (I have been told) and am wanting to get some guys/girls on video talking about your thoughts on all the new P-plate laws that may be comming in.

If you would like to remain anonymous that is fine as the video will be edited and Number plates and faces can be masked...

This is being done for channel Ten to be shown in a half hour special.....

Anyone can come along and have their say but we are looking for some good opinions on this and what you think should happen, not just "the Government is Ghey" :)

I am thinking it would be a good idea to have a meet some where to do this but will have a think about it and post more details soon.

Please reply if you may be interested and share any thoughts that you may have and what you would like to see...

Thanks.

What can you say, driver training is insufficient and restricting P platers from driving high powered cars isn't going to increase their ability. Standard family cars like falcons and commodores can still do high speeds they just don't get there as quickly and don't stop as quickly. Defensive driver training should be compulsory and should be subsidised in some way.

:end rant:

apparently they are planning on banning young drivers from falcons and commies as well!! so its not just the imports!

anyone see this article with the pic of the crashed lancer?

http://www.sundaytelegraph.news.com.au/sto...7-28778,00.html

not sure how the government can focus on high performance imports, when its obvious that speed is the problem... drivers need to be educated!! and from a young age... maybe driver ed like in the US? not sure what the young driver fatality stats are like there, but kids definitely need more education... harder tests to actually pass Ps might be another avenue? pass a defensive driver training course... learn how to brake, skid etc before you're allowed onto the roads.

And does anyone else think that rule about banning under 26 year olds from driving hpi cars is silly? it sounds to me like most young driver fatalities will happen around 26! : they're just delaying the problem - not fixing it!

You can read the proposals here, and submit comments (for those that didn't know):

I suggest anyone who cares about this topic (regardless of your view) submits comments. Just make sure its not some "teh g0v su><0rs" type message because that will help no one.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
