heya

few mates of mine are planning a trip down to melb in the next week or so but i have a few questions on getting there

we are planning to drive down and 2 of my mates are p platers ( 1 with s15 and 1 with wrx). will there be any problems driving their cars in melbourne seeing they are p platers and there is a power restriction law there? or is that law only for vic p platers?

we all have nsw licenses

thanks

Eric

If those cars are turbo they're not supposed to be driving them are they? I thought P platers can't driver turbo in NSW?

Depending on the laws in NSW, they'll apply here in Vic too as far as I know.

that's scewed when did you laws change.

any way as far as i know what you do in another state does affect you licence i.e. you speed you get a speeding fine and points taken off.

best do as you said ring RTA/VIC roads and ask them.

also dont ack like idots and you wont attract the cops

My mate got caught speeding with no points left on his license in NSW (he has a vic license). What he did there didnt affect him in vic. Its wierd how these things work.

He must have been very very lucky as Brentton is right, they do transfer back to Vic from interstate, just take a bit longer.

I know of a couple of things that have worked but getting caught/booked for speeding isnt one of them.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.

      Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time

      Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.

      Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
