meh.. they should pull over p platers more.

Agreed!

Everytime I'm out riding some idiot P'plater nearly kills me because they don't do a head check or are just careless..

Actually it's not all P'platers, I get it from full licensed drivers as well.. but mostly are P'platers.

Even in the car I had some red P'plater nearly merge into my lane and hit me when I was right next to her because she didn't look back to see if there where any car's there.

The RTA needs to enforce L platers to have professional driving instructors.

I'd also like to make a note that most P'platers are hoons..

I admit when I first got my red p's I was a bit of an idiot... But I realised there are much better wasteful things to do out of the pan's or track.

I'm a green p plater but completely agree..

However I think that there should be a mandatory number of professional lessons given to an l plater before moving to red p's..

and also lessons at end of red p's to progress onto greens, reasoning behind this is that on red p plates most drivers do pick up bad habits (i've noticed it with myself too)...

but I think that they should be made to do some type of driving course...

Although on the other hand some instructors don't do their job properly.. mine was not even paying attention and I did things to see if he was paying attention, deliberately failing to use my blinker a few times (on a quiet street, no other cars) and he didn't say anything because he wasn't paying attention....

funny thing is i learnt from the RTA the other day is that when i get off my green P's next Saturday.

Im Legally allowed to teach my girlfriend(on her L's) in my skyline(turbo ofcourse)

But once she gets her P's obviously can't drive a turbo,but while on her L's its ALL LEGAL

how F'd is that?

because you're under the supervision of a fully licensed driver i suppose..

and it's not their car so I guess they took into consideration the fact that maybe the only car available to learn in eould be a turbo as the teacher HAS to be fully licensed and might possibly own one.

I was driving turbo's left right and centre on l's.. red p's too.... but have recently stopped... lol

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
