the council conpired against me, planting trees to obstuct a stop sign, knowing that if i passed my test i would be placing several lives in danger with my car

PS. I am preparing for the shit i will get in the next couple of days...

Bad luck mate. My 2c... driving a powerful car on your Ps, meh its attitude. But driving a nice car when you are inexperienced, ie missing stop signs, following cars too closely, braking too late, even parking, so many of my friends have bumped things trying to park:(

Can i ask how many / kms hrs you reckon you have done whilst on your Ls?

Dont worry too much , i failed the 1st time. They claim i parked in a dangerous and unsafe manner?!? Basically he told me to angle park, and one of the cars was over his white line so it was a tight squeeze to get the car in, but i gave the tester as much space as possible to get out so cramped my side of the car. Apparently i should have told the tester the space is too small and looked for another. LOL despite the fact the i was still between the white lines and i could still get out my side of the car:)

Yeah they are reaaaaaalllllyyy tight now. Everything else was perfect except for that... i wanted to punch that assesor.

Hmmm i have driven alot. Normally drive everyday to school for 30min for the past 2 years. + any other trips. So it would be alot.

Ahh well better luck next time :D

I actually had the same thing on my driving test. But someone had stolen the sign!!!

I stopped and looked at the pole and went "ummm" then saw the solid line on the road so I knew it was a stop sign, but yeah. I am pretty sure they do things like that deliberately.

Never mind, you failed for a reason and I guess your just not ready for the roads, thats why they have these tests. I'm sure you do fine next time. Just keep your eyes peeled and remember to look for the unbroken white line if there is no stop sign visible.

 

i know you think you can drive, but only 1 lession before the test??? i had 4 lessions and that was for an auto lisence not because i needed them for skill but i learnt so much from the instructor re safety, learning the roads, how to 3-point turn/parallel park properly by their rules etc... the fact that you are asking SAU how to change gears before a turn/roundabout means you are in serious trouble at the minute

if you ask me i would say postpone the test for 2 weeks (what's 2 weeks in the context of a lifetime of driving) go get some lessions and tee-up the car you are going to use. learn from your lessions, don't show off to the instructor. they are trained to teach you.

please read the above

it would have saved you the embarrassment of failing a test but you learnt the hard way

as Hours said, you failed for a reason - you aren't up to the standard. don't use excuses...

go get some lessons

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
