They can go f**k themselves im not gonna follow these bullshit power restrictions just cause a bunch of bogans are idiots in there vl's and fords. And what would be considered a high powered vehicle. And what will happen when this law comes into action for people who already have high powered vehicles.

If this is the way qld transport will behave about high powered vehicles then i wont move states i will go to a different country, australians are taxed to much anyway lol.

dont fret alex, I'm sure these rules will be to NEW DRIVERS,

and I'm not sure your auto atmo sedan would be ruled out either.

The way i see it is younger drivers IE teens.,, do tend to DIE in car crashes as they are normally in their "first shitter cars" like a 20 year old corona or something.... so ofcourse they are going to be worse off than a 24 year old or older.

2.gaining 100 hours of certified supervised on-road driving experience for learners under 25s

i like the way people over 25 dont need 100 hours of learners, i think it should be the same for all, as granpa and granma need like 1000 hours.....

thats how they always said it...

are already on your learners when the rules come out, it doesnt apply since u started ont eh old system... like wise for if you already hold a current P lisence they cant change it.

Yeah but by the time these laws comes into action, i will probably be driving a 2 durbo manual turbo 34. But as most people specified i hope its only for people who get there licences when the rules apply. Because i wont be close to 25 by the time i plan to have my turbo ill probably be 19.

hey guys

just a question, i am currently as of monday the owner of an r34 2 door GTT.

it will be under my business name and i am under 25, i am 22 i will be 23 by the time these laws come in.

now if i was pulled over in my car with these laws in place, knowing that my name wont be on the ownership, but my companys name will

will i be fined or have to sell the car once these laws come in ??

any help would be good

Jake

hmm being 18, getting the r34 turbo coupe was the best thingy that happened to me :no: that and parents paid for 2000 buck insureance and everything else.... but these rules would have pissed me off

absolute rubbish.. no lives will be saved. They've had these restrictions in place in VIC for a while now, and young people still kill themselves just as effectively.

True that, just means more retards will drive beaters around un fit for the roads. Put kids in safe quick cars, not cheap and nasty quick cars.

i agree with nismo boy, if u elimate the old shit tins, then teen deaths will go down.... un-experienced drivers in cars unsafe for bush bashing = statistic waiting to happen

Stopping the Road TOLL = Go with NSW way of pink slips, check the damn cars over every year. Fish out all the arse holes that let people BUY Road Worthy Certs, & then see how far it gets the road toll, dumb pricks. It was frightening seeing some of the cars roll into the work shop when I was a mechanic, I would not let my worst enemy drive some of them ...

Young people only made up the 13% of our road toll. What about the outher 87% you think that thay would be more concerned about the outher 87% as thay are the majority.

don't you mean 32% of the road toll?

they are only 13% of drivers on the road

Have to agree with everyone here - every car is a weapon & if some idiot decides their Peter Brock, the road toll will always be around the same annual figures. That being said 13% isn't that much, I think the rest comes down to driver error, especially when I compare to what I've seen in Victoria.: (Old people driving on the WRONG side of the road in 80 & 100Km/hr zones???? - Has anyone else seen this???)

you make a very good point there mate.......

this would eliminate a lot of those old shitty holdens on the road......bogans will have to spend less on piss.

These apply from 1 July 2007

Key changes will include:

-lowering the minimum learner age to 16 and extending the licence period to 12 months

-gaining 100 hours of certified supervised on-road driving experience for learners under 25s

-restricting all mobile phone use, including hands-free, blue-tooth accessories, and loud-speaker functions, for learner and P1 provisional licence holders under 25

-restricting mobile loud-speaker functions for supervisors and passengers of learner and P1 provisional licence holders under 25 while under instruction

-motorbike learners will be required to hold a car provisional licence for 12 months prior to gaining a motorbike learner licence

-introduction of a two-phased P1 and P2 provisional licence system

compulsory L plates (a black L on a yellow background) and P plates (a red plate for P1 and green plate for P2)

-peer passenger restrictions (only carrying one passenger aged under 21) from 11pm to 5am for P1 under 25

-high-powered vehicle restrictions for provisional drivers under 25

-after 12 months on P1, licence holders must pass a hazard perception test to progress to P2

-late night driving and other restrictions for disqualified and suspended young drivers

Thankfully, according to information any person who has their p's license before 1 july 2007 will have no restrictions.

    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
