when i completed my L's and jumped onto my p's (i got my p's 1 day after transition and now on greens) i feel more relaxed and it became natural, when i was on my L's i was one of thoes "oh gosh i gotta check my left and right, oh no i forgot to look left" kind of people, worried about everything.

There is an evil way of doing the hours, i know some people whilst i was working (i work across from 2 schools) bragging about working backwards of the ordomitor and going backwards from what they had their car. Its a bad way to do it, and the rules were implimented for a reason and im glad you arnt doing that. Another responsible driver, hooray and congratulations!

Obviously you guys do things differently over there on the other side of the world, because here we have to do a driving test before we get our Ps, as in that very day, not weeks in advance, and you have to have done all your hours beforehand. And if you do that driving test in an auto, you are restricted to driving an auto for the first 12 months of your Ps, unless you have a supervising driver or retake the test in a manual car.

So don't call me stupid.

Hiro,

(EDIT, i got it the wrong way around)

Over in WA you still do a test as you do in the east. But instead of having 2 different colour P's (ala NSW), they have 2 different stages of L plates (computer tests and a practical test) - then a log book and another computer test for your provisional license.

But I'm sure the WA crew are really looking forward to cruising with you, sketra... maybe you can take them to this year's autosalon and bend over their cars...

Or show them your cannon...

Or your evo bonnet...

and your hektik rear wing...

Or your tattoo...

Or your contract from 'make me a supermodel'...

Hiro,

But instead of having 2 different colour P's (ala NSW), they have 2 different stages of L plates (computer tests and a log book) - then a practical test for your provisional license. If she hasn't got her P plates yet, and is still on the second phase of her L plates, then she hasn't done the final practical yet...

So is it that final practical test which determines whether or not you can drive auto on your Ps?

And by the sounds of it, your Ls are basically the same as us, we have a computerised knowledge test to get our Ls, then we're on a log-book for 120 hours (with supervisor, obviously) and min. 6 months, then a practical driving test to get our red Ps and our independence. Only difference between the two stages of our Ps is that you do a hazard perception test, you can go 100km/h instead of 90, and any transmission license restrictions from your driving test are removed.

Hiro,

Sorry, I didn't edit my first post in time.

When I did my Ps in WA, it was pretty much the same as NSW (eg. my first day of driving by myself was immediately after I had passed the practical).

Now its a bit backwards. You do your basic computer test to get the Ls. Then after you have had enough instruction, you take a practical to get to phase 2 - this means that if you pass the test, you then get a log book to do your hrs. You are now also permitted to drive supervised on the freeways.

Once you log enough hours, you sit another computer test - voila, you have your P's.

What a mission it is these days. I was lucky that it was just a quick multiple choice test for my L's, then a 30 minute driving test for my P's.

Wow that sounds like a crappy system.....you have to sit an extra test just to be able to use the freeways? Then again, L-platers on the F3 over here are the bain of many an interstate driver, 80km/h compared to 110km/h trucks is not a good idea - nothing wrong with limiting them to 80 on backroads etc, but bump it up to 90 or 100 for the freeway for crying out loud. If someone hits an L-plater on the freeway, it's equivalent to hitting a stationary car at 30km/h, which is significant.

thats harsh, in QLD the difference between red P and green P is that red doesnt let you have passangers after 11pm. and we cant have turbo charged cars... unless their deisel! and with learners its 100hrs of driving, however good news for the older folks, you just need to keep your Ls for 1 year and its straigh to opens or red p's for 6 months, cant remember..

Im with DJKOR on this one, the L's test was a sit-down hand-written test, and then later on the P's was just a practical test :lol: im glad i got my p's before all this new rule **** came in :o

We've got similar things too between red and green about passengers, using mobiles etc, but I can't remember all the details because I was on my greens before they were introduced. Same goes for turbo/supercharged etc, except for diesels and some select models which have high safety (like low-blow Saabs, Mercs etc, I THINK, this was changed) or are so obviously not a danger (Copen/kei cars)

Here in WA we have our red p plates which mean you cant drive between 12am-5am

green p plates pretty much have no restriction

except it is worth noting that with L, red and green p plates you aren't allowed a single drop of alcohol in your blood :P

Same here. Back when I originally got my red Ps, it was 0.02, now it's zero. That's one of my main reasons to get my blacks....well, that and my green Ps run out in February. And the F3 freeway.

      Does any one know if the trd sportivo suspension for the 2017 facelift corolla fielder fits the 2013 prefacelift version? Is the chassis the same? Thanks for the help.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
