Ban Turbo Cars From P Platers? Just wanna know where this stands...


Recommended Posts

Ok my question still stands, what about those of us getting our P2's (greens) on or after the 11th of july, who already have there P1's (reds), such as is my situation, will i still fall under the 'already have a provisional license' clause?

make the most of what u got when u got it!!!!

lol @ every DEAD tryhard who tried to be a sick C*nt in a powerfull car

like that 17yr old or wotever, took his dads $110.000 Line, i HOPE they ALL DIED

sum BIG crashes come from ALcohol too., try hitting a medium strip at 120 front on into 10m high trees, fat too.

Thats really uncool and uncalled for.

Do we want skyliners to be know as a bunch of selfish pricks because they cant get their own way?

Totally uncalled for... those kids simply didn't understand the dangers they were getting themselves into. Obviously, if they had more understanding of how the car worked, and the conditions, the incident wouldn't have happened.

But; nonetheless, the past is the past and the dead will be dead - so leave them alone.

You wouldn't want someone chanting about your death, even if it was legit!

The dude that died in the Blue R34 GTR up here on the central coast, new how powerful the car was and took it out to show off cause his parents were out for the weekend... He knew what he was getting himself into....

He went to my school, his dad imported cars for a living...

So dont defend him.... now im confused... cause i am on my P's but i dont think that a 17y.o should be allowed to own let alone drive a GTR unless they have proven themselves...

I confused myself..

LOL

Definatly uncalled for. I can understand if u were just trying to prove a point..but I think that came off a bit too harsh. Think about what you say...that could deeply offend some people..

I think it does not apply to you since your incident date was before the law was passed (July 11)... however, if it is a condition that you have to resit the Ps tests in order to regain your license, it could be a different story.

How long after the 11th are you to get the new license?  

Better to ask the RTA for confirmation on that one.  Good Luck~

Nah, I wouldnt have to re-sit, its just that im currently serving and get it back in August, but loose it again cause of all the points, however im going to contest the next 3 months due to university and work commitments.

But according to the RTA, they said I shouldnt be affected, but they are still unclear of whats going on....

They should seriously do something and put up some solid rules they know already, so people dont walk round in circles wondering how the law actually works...

Maybe nothings up because they still havent decided if they actually want to go ahead overall?? (doubt it) but just a suggestion...

Okay, gettin some conflicting information here...

Can anyone shed some light on my situation?

I'm on my Red P's an I'm currently on license suspension for speeding on M4 (my bad. I admit it.) Do the new laws affect me once I am off suspension?

I have heard that it only applies if you already have your P's but lose them or get suspended after the cut-off period?

BTW any idea how they're going to tell the diff. between a current P-plater an someone who got their P's after the cut-off?

Thats what i have wanted to know, i have been staring at my licence like an idiot trying to figure that one out myself, i dont think there is any way for them to know by just looking at your licence, but maybe if they do a detailed history/check on your licence it will display the date of issue?

plus i think on the new licences issued after the 11th, it will have something in the conditions box on the back of your licence, like it has now with the zero blood alcohol limit.

Thats just what i think anyways, anyone please feel free to correct me if i am wrong

no matter what happens it doesnt change how much this new law sucks for us p plater turbo drivers :cheers:

i think the RTA screwed up guys (no surprises here):

i've only looked for 2 specific vehicles but if you look at the restriction list:

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downlo...ed_vehicles.pdf

there's no 89 model R32 GTS-t or GTR on the list.

he he he!

i'm sure if someone took the time you could find a whole host of cars that the RTA havn't mentioned :cheers:

is the honda beat turbo?

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
