Correct me if i'm wrong guys, but i've heard that the NSW law of P platers not allowed to drive high powered cars will be brought into VIC sometime in the middle of this month?? Can someone confirm that please?

I think i read that somewhere, but they'd probably rework it first, that loophole where hi-power NA's are allowed wouldn't stay for long. But i think there is one out if they do bring it in - when they brought it to NSW i'm pretty sure, if you got your p's, or already owned an outlawed car before the ban was put into place, you could still drive it. (NSW dudes, feel free to correct me)

I think alot of it comes down to your driving style also. If you drive like a tool your attracting attention to yourself. The only times I have ever been pulled over have been because I am doing something wrong (and I do spend ALOT of time on the road) not because of the car I am driving. I haven't been pulled over for upwards of a year now in any of my cars.

Just my 2 cents :ermm:

I dont agree with u here. i drive a stock 93 v6 commodore im on p plates for just over 2 years now, the only fines i have are for parking illigally have not lost a single point on my licence but have been pulled over more than 30 times for 'random licence checks', one time i got pulled over twice in a span of 3 hours on the same road by different police. all because of a stupid red p on the back window, what the f**k is the deal with people knowing your a p plater anyway makes no difference to me

Maybe I just been lucky, fingers crossed it stays that way

what the f**k is the deal with people knowing your a p plater anyway makes no difference to me

Isn't it supposed to be so people can "watch out for you" because you haven't had much driving experience, kinda like a learner on L's only more advanced :blush:

Why would the Vic police bring in the NSW p plate law when we have one ourselves that in my opinion works better than a blanket ban?

I'm with you on that one rhett, it's really a poorly thought out ban. I mean what the hell is with banning turbodiesels just because of the 'turbo' prefix....

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
