WHEN DOES IT START?

The new graduated licensing system will be introduced gradually over the next two years to make sure that young drivers are prepared for each new requirement as it is implemented.

The new alcohol-interlock rules for drink drivers on Ps or aged under 26 years will start in January 2007.

The new learner permit rules will start from July 2007, as will the new high powered vehicle restrictions for P drivers.

All the new P1/P2 rules and the new driving test will start from July 2008.

Straight from the vicroads site. As long as you get your P's before !st July 2007 you should be fine. And anyway i doubt that they will have R34 GT's on the list as high po 6's. At least not initially.

the system that was already in place (125kw per tonne) i think was a good system for its purpose, but the list of restricted cars thing like in NSW is just a load of sh*t.

last time i heard about that, u werent aloud to drive the merc C180K, with its nearly 2 tonne mass haveing an awesome 108kw to propell it, smart cars i believe were banned to, with blistering acceleration of 0-100km/h in 11 secs, yet things like S2000's were perfectly legal :) the list has probly been changed now, but i think even a brand new M3 was legal for a while, probly still is.

im hopefully gonna get my Ps in a few months, and this is something i've been watching closely. i personally think these laws aren't gonna make things worse, but they aint gonna get that much better like you think it would.

why do i say this, well think about it, im going to get my P's soon and theres nothing i can do to get a reasonably quick car, so what am i to do... eureka! im going to go down to my local honda/yamaha/kawasaki/suzuki dealer, hand over my small sum of money (and by small sum, i mean i couldnt even buy a decent R32 with it, bikes are that cheap), and straight off the showroom floor go out and do 200km/h+, and it'll get there in half the time of a car, with the added bonus of being less stable than a car with none of the safety, which last time i checked, added up to a grand total of being about 20-30 times more likely to be killed.

and no, i dont plan on buying a bike myself, but everyone here seems to know how stupid and irresponsible young people are, so theres gonna be no shortage of P platers that do want a bike.

If you can afford a car, then you should be able to drive it. But you cant, so.

If you go back to when i was 17 and shopping for a car, there was no way on earth anyone would lend me enough money to buy one. There is no way i could afford insurance etc either.

And at 17 i didnt have near the savings for a 15k car. Lots of ppl would have been in the same boat. These days younger ppl can now get their hands on the money to buy these cars, and interest rates are also a lot lower.

So instead we terrorised the streets in our POS Valiants, Lasers and Meteors, if you were really unlucky you had a VB with a Starfire 4 cyl ;)

So in a sense the laws whilst crap are kinda winding the clock back to having young ppl drive underpowered POS whilst the drive by brail...banks may want everyone in these sorts of cars but govt doesnt

Whoa thats a really obscure question haha um go with 98 octane, so optimax, premium or synergex (the most expensive crap.. Faster and better for the car, less crap in it, more refined etc)

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...

      GReddy Injector Help!

      I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?

      Does anybody use the Firestryker or Element sticks?

      From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.
