Well in '96 I got my L's on my 16th birthday (July 8), and then they day I was 16yrs 6mnths (Jan 8th) I had my P's :O

Think its still the same age but the age thing. Check out the link Cara posted

just checked the link and turns out that i was right.

get your l's at 16

p1's at 16 6months

you hold you p1s for 1 year and your p2s for 2 years.

you guys are lucky

down in vic l's at 16

p1s at 18

p1s for a year and p2s for 2 years

anyway thanks for your help guys

hahaha when i got my license i think you only had to wait like 3 months i had 3 driving lessons and took to the roads with the test instructor and got 3 marks against me :D wohoo P's first time in a manual

and what used to be centerlink and job search they paid for my driving lessons :O

thats how it should be i think same as vic, give the kids more time to learn how to drive instead of handing them what can be consided a lethal weapon 6 months down the track after getting their L's

my 2c ne ways

Kind of agree with you Cara. I'll admit, at 16 I had already been driving on and off for a few years when I went bush with my dad, so I had some prior knowledge of how to handle a car.

BUT majority of ppl on still have no idea on how to control their hormones at 16 let alone a car ;)

i dont see why they got rid of the instructor thats a pretty nerve racking experience and if you can pass that test in a manual then i think your ready to drive

did anyone watch the last chance learners tv show was soo funny

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
