2L, 4 cylinder engines don't sound to powerful. Was the Commodore a V8? Cos no matter how powerful a car is, you can do something stupid and kill yourself with it. Even a Charade...

ah ah ahhhh,a 6L ls2 tt Charade :D

RIP - yes, down here we already have those p plate laws

and yes, the people in the media are fckwits who dont know shit.......probably was next to a bystander who was talking about v8 supercars at the time, and thought that they were talking about the car involved in the crash...

Guys whats with these new p plate laws.

Wanting to ban turbo,supercharged and v8 cars.Were all next!

Pulse of perth was running a poll to see if the people want these laws!

To vote no Call 1902 559 078.

Lets not let them win cause we could be next.

i have advised all my family and friends to call so please do pass the message.

Didn't they say something like it's had $6,000 worth of engine mods, converted to supercharger or something

Police media always hype stuff up. No one from the public will question it. They use big words or numbers...'$6000 worth of engine modifications', to us means sfa but to the average joe who doesn't spend anything on their car $6k will sound like lots of money to spend on top of a car.

Most of the journalists from those media organisations don't know sfa about cars, and just rely on the Police for correct infomation. I've read Police media releases from hoon incidents etc and there is always something wrong with them.

A proper journalist would make sure those facts are correct by checking them with other sources, however I guess with some of them they need the news to be out straight away leaving very little time to check up on the infomation given.

How did they find out the 180 had $6,000 worth of engine mods? Ask the dude while he lies half dead in IC to fill out a modification form and show them reciepts? lol. Police want to get a big point across about modified cars, and unfortunately this guy's f*ck up has been use to bring that point across. It probably just had a china exhaust & $20 air filter and thats it.

we def need restrictions on P platers... ffs, who in their right mind would allow a new driver to get behind the wheel of anything powerful or worked is just beyond me... RIP to the passenger :glare:

Parents these days just have no friggen idea... or don't care? I just don't get it.

I agree... I had 2 v8's on my p's and I'm still kickn,

BUT there are some absolute f*ck wit P platers out there. I reckon p platers should be allowed high powered car but they need a special licence which requires training or a shorter leash, ei no tolerance to hooning

Edit: lol, my sister will be spewing, she just bought a $12,000 VS ute with a VT 5L in it, and shes 16 n shes been saving and saving while working a HJ's. hahahahaha

do you really think they will air the real results on TV of this phone in, this is the media we are talking about, phone away if you like, but that means that you have to trust what Pulse of Perth tell you afterwards.

Sorry man... I kind of think its a good idea too. If I had something as powerful as even my NA R33 was, I would have been in serious trouble while on my P's, never mind the turbo R34. Nothing wrong with waiting for a couple of years to get a turbo/v8. Too many stupid deaths because of people on their P's being stupid. I know there are some who are responsible, and I even know a few. But the statistics speak for themselves

yeah and they are the one that are suppose to be training the little barstards to drive.

I tell you what, If I was going to teach my kids to drive i'd get them to do basic driving school, then defensive driving, then advanced driving drill it into there heads that if they f**k up and crash they will die. bang dead... even if they survive, I'll kill em... lol :glare:

Parents these days just have no friggen idea... or don't care? I just don't get it.

mandatory defensive driving test instead of HPT test? use some of the money they make from speed cameras to help fund the defensive driving tests

could be new campaign slogan 'speeding now saves lives'

doesn't matter how much training or education you give some people they will always remain the same. and the end result for them will be the same.

also IT may give some younger drivers a false senses of im a good driver now just because i have done a driving course

yeah, im sick and tired of getting "revved" up by p platers etc. i had a kid in a vs commie come up next to me whilst im doing 75km's in a 80 zone and "kick" back his auto and ring the freakin neck off the v6 and take off past me. i then thought to myself......for what? -too pick up some cred from a guy who he is never going to see again? the +'s and -'s dont add up. do the speed limit and casually cruise up next to the guy/girl and give thumbs up if ya want. makes everyones day better. keeps the grannies from cursing at ya and keeps the police from pulling out the vaso

Thats exactly it. I have a friend who bought an S15. Some of the people on this forum would know about this. He always drove quite cautiously. After one driver training day on the skid pan, he thought he was a good driver and put his car sideways into a pole. The car was a right off.

also IT may give some younger drivers a false senses of im a good driver now just because i have done a driving course

always be a few new drivers that will think that, and they would speed even if they had not done the course, but for the rest of them, esp with wet roads conditions at the moment, should have a better understanding of how to control a car

Even though I had a v8 and also daily drove a 911 while on my P's, I agree with the power ban.

Kids have a lot more access to fast cars nowadays and seem to not learn to drive in bunkies but jump straight to a light, tail happy, turbo import OR big, fat, horribly handling, ADM v8s.

Personally, I think P platers should ONLY be allowed to drive 4cyl N/A's with less than 100kW. All these 6cyl family cars are just as dangerous as the imports or fat v8s.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
