hey all

I just got my license disqualified last thursday for 12 months,

now i need to know whether or not i will be able to drive my skyline when i get my license back next july?

I have owned the car since last december, and it is registered in my name?

So will I be able to continue driving it, cause i'm not sure if i have to sell it or keep it??

Thanks heaps guys

I dont think there should be a problem. Doesnt it not apply to exisiting P platers, if you had to re-do the test maybe, but i dont think so otherwise...

Hmmm something to investigate

*edit* thinking i might need some sleep, this post doenst make much sence :confused:

If you were disqualified then I think you're in trouble.

From the RTA site: "The prohibited vehicle condition does not apply to:

Existing provisional (P1 and P2) licence holders prior to 11 July 2005, unless they are disqualified for a serious driving offence committed on or after 11 July 2005."

Yeah, but it states in bold, "committed on or after 11 July 2005"...because i got caught driving unlicensed before july 11th, so does it mean if you do a serious driving offence only on or after july 11th you can't drive it?

Hmm...? Might have to give the RTA a call on monday

anyone else know?

yes thats right, if your an old P plater and you get your licence suspended after 11th july and u get it back in 6 months you wont be able to drive any turbo cars or have a passenger.

however if you lost your licence before 11th its ok.

i have heard a few different things going round, the best thing to do is ask the RTA, becasue the way i understand it is, u are ok to drive it when u get it back however u may not carry more than one passenger in the vehicle.

im sure its ok, if u got caught on the 8th, however u got disqualified after july 11th, so im sorry to say but i think ur unlucky. cause i lost mine on the 1st of july and i remember i was saying to everyone how lucky i was not to of lost it after the 11th but i cant remember why. coming to think of it i think ur gonna have to cop it, u did lose it after the 11th, i dont think it matters when the offence was, as they have to give u that 21 days notice of suspension..

if your loose your license for a period of 12months or longer,you will have to re-sit the test and do a full 12months on red P's again,,,not sure about if you have to do another driving test(though i think you might).

Any disqualification is taking from the date of the offence. Not from when you recieve your sentence.

I should know, I recently lost my licence for 6 months and only have 2 months left (yay). And my disqualification period started from the date of the offence. So you should be all good if you got caught on the 8th pal.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
