Provisional Driving Test


Recommended Posts

Guest jimmyd17

hey ppls,

im from victoria and will be shortly moving to adelaide. i'll be doing my provisional practical driving test. i have done my P's test in victoria, but due to a disqualification, i had to regain my L's here which is a bit of a joke, but anyway. i rang up mitcham driving school and went to book in. i was told i should book some lessons in case things are done differently in SA to VIC and that its fairly strict getting ur P's in SA... the P's test in VIC was rediculously easy in my opinion.. i worked as a courier fo 2 years and did over 100,000kms of driving, not including over 200 hours on my L's before that.. so i wouldnt say im an inexperienced driver at all.. is it necissary to get lessons for techinical points because i just cant justify spending an extra 50 bux on 'learning' how to drive... whats involved in the test itself.. might be a silly question but im just looking for some advice on the actual process of the test in SA so i know what to expect..

thanks,

James

lol, ok thanks for that.. yeh i reckon theres some pretty stupid laws in VIC too... in victoria the learners written test is harder than the whole P's test, and the learners test in VIC is easier than the SA learners. so just wondering if the P's test is actually so strict in SA, or is it a piece of piss like VIC? :P

Bad habbits are a killer. :rofl:

Get your L's. (Sample tests here) http://www.raa.net/page.asp?TerID=192

Do the above link several times as every time you do it you get different examples.

If you get any give ways wrong you will instantly fail.

Then you can only get 11 (I think) out of 40 wrong.

I'm willing to put money on it that you will fail the multiple choice section. :D

Then do the test. You won't need a driving lesson. Just make sure you know the rules.

EDIT: Looks like you already have your L's here in SA. :D

hey, yep... i passed the L's in SA on tuesday first pop, 39 out of 42 for multiple choice :P... how on earth would u know i already got my L's in SA? - LOL. thanks for that Joel... i'll be booking the driving test for P's in a week or so hopefully so i won't bother with any lessons. now i'm a bit clearer of how the test works :( cheers

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
