Will have to chat to you about your 6262.

I'm leaning towards a GTX35R or the HTA derivative. (only a max of 5% difference between all 3. - response v midrange v top end)

We could start a push for a 2015 Ayres Rock - "Rock the 32" or even Alice.

However most of our 32's are in the east so maybe an "East Coast" town. Middish point between Briz and Melbournia (BUT not firkin Sydney - Grrr!)

or last suggestion would be inland - Cameron Corner (NT, SA, QLD & NSW intersect on this border).

EDIT: The ROCK would be my pick.

How about Canberra?

It would allow those certain people with P plates...

To y'know..

Legally drive their GTR.

:whistling:

Hey - It ain't illegal to drive it while there.

Thus I'm not being naughty.

:P

There was a fairly nasty crash in Canberra (which I believe was a 34 GTR) kid took Dad's car out of the garage and car nor kid never made it home.

RE being able to drive a GTR in Canberra, if you're stuck on restrictions wouldn't it be a limitation to the conditions on your license and have no bearing on which state you are in?

an r34 gtr was the reason for the p plate laws

I think u guys might be referring to EVLGTR which was a blue 34 from the central coast, it was a CRD customer...very sad

Nah, I have a mates place as my mailing address when I am overseas, so legally I have a form of residential stability in the KnobheadPolitical Territory.

Yeah a GTR was a main factor, but two commodores wiped out eight people in high speed P plate dickheadery.
:-(


Kids need to be taught respect and control for their vehicle.
I drove a paddock basher as a kid, and raced on the Northern NSW dirt track loop derby scene for little while as a minor.
I have done multiple offensive and defensive driving courses, and have my Bike licence, car licence, HR licence and Forklift licence.

Yet I am not allowed to drive my GTR on my P's because of a group of uneducated morons who got to play with their daddy's cars.

There needs to be a test for P platers to prove they are responsible and capable of driving special vehicles - But a no-modification rule in terms of performance must remain in effect, and said vehicles and drivers must be given regular tests to prove they can maintain themselves and their vehicle at all times appropriate to the australian road and pedestrian laws.
Such as a window sticker Permit for people who have successfully proven themselves, it should be somewhat of a licence that is attached to them and their car.

I think that is only fair - and if our government was intelligent enough - they would notice it would be another form of revenue raising.
That being said, if it were a licence, it would also have points ontop of their normal licence.
That if they acted like tools, or committed an road rule offence - points should be deducted from that licence to the point that if they did 20 over (eg.), got busted, they'd receive a fine, and points loss on that external licence, where if they lost that licence they would lose the privilege of owning said performance vehicle, and all ability to drive it.
Thus being restricted down to normal non turbo sub 8 cylinder cars.


But it would never work due to cops who would do it for the fun of it.
And for the fact you get massive points loss for stupid offences - that is idiocy - because if the government wanted to create proper revenue - they wouldn't take the repeating offenders licence - they'd fine them heavier, and heavier, till they had to never drive again due to massive financial burden.

That also being said, I believe all cars should pass a proper engineers inspection.
There's some real dumbass modifications doing the rounds due to lack of proper build ability and cheapness.

Three things - Cheap, Fast, Reliable.
Cheap = bad in my book.
If it's cheap it could potentially be dangerous, thus endangering you and others because of your carelessness for "Fully hektik, dose, hellaflush" crap.

That's my rant over - back to the R32 Pics.

I think they are but the one in Canberra was a separate incident. I can't recall details 100% but I was fairly certain was a black GTR in 1997 or so.

I've heard of the CRD one they are talking about as well. Nasty stuff.

Doens't matter where your mailing address is, if you have a NSW P plate license I'm fairly certain you're still stuffed.

That black gtr cop car is awesome!

I like the chaser rims on it...why do police cars go back to press steel rims, including the falcodores? My guess is if u hit a gutter, it won't crack the rim and leak air like it would with an alloy rim.

I actually have a W.A licence.

Still got busted with a Turbo on p's when I first came to NSW though.

Didn't know about the different laws a year ago.

EEK.

I did have a bit of a read on it and it varies from state to state how the different laws apply. If you have a WA license surely you'd be ok then? I know ACT license holders are when they are in NSW.

What size precision is that Kat? Makes my 6266 look like a midget

Haha it's a 7675. I went a bit crazy last year :D

The "P" plate laws are a license restriction, NOT a state law. This means that if you have a license from a state (i.e ACT) where P platers can have a turbo car there is nothing NSW or the other states can do about it. It's pretty much the same with the speed limit restriction. ACT P platers are not limited to a speed limit, NSW are. We can do the limit as it is not restricted by our license.

However. If i live in the ACT and get a license there on my P's and move to NSW with a turbo car my license will be swapped over and i can no loger drive said car.

100% the reason i moved from the edge of NSW into ACT a few years ago haha.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
