because we're cool QLD we arent doing the power to weight ratio thing like in other states. According to the Transport site they are excluding v8's, Turbos and "high peformance" cars. They're putting up a list later this year. I can hardly wait. Id say its a fair bet that nana's corolla/lancer will be all thats left off. I think they'll be pretty thorough with it.

No matter what goes on the list, there will always be workarounds (usually made by Honda :laugh: ). And going for blanket restrictions such as "V8" or "turbo" creates the problem of including cars that aren't even performance cars at all.

i'm wondering whether turbo diesels will be included on the banned list. while they aren't the most powerful things in the world some of them do still have a fair bit of get up and go, while others couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

then I think after the rules are out...the Kid will jump themselve into a of those V-Tec or Mivec car...

those little v-tec are fast too, why they arent in the list....not fair to Nissan.

meh, find someone in nsw...go down there, list as address...get license under their rules. Problem solved for everyone only just getting their license. Of course I dont suggest this...I think it might be dodgy and possibly not legal.

you can have your licence from whatever state you want, but you still have to abide by the laws of the state that you are driving in.

  • 6 months later...

Update: bad luck to anyone getting their p's after July 1, even if you currently own a high performance car you can't drive it....say hello to even cheaper prices for imports and performance cars...no more teen racers. Bad luck to anyone on your l's getting your p's you have to wait until you're on your opens.

The two men at the motorshow representing QLD transport said the new rules dont effect current P platers, Only NEW P platers.. So yay, Unless they were confused on rules aswell

yep you're right, they portrayed it wrong on the news...the transport website has been updated too.

hahaha my brother is stoked. he gets his license on the first of june and is going to be gettin himself a ca18 silvia in which we are droppin in a rb20 in a few months after that. will go hard for a first car to learn in

ok just clear this up for me.. if ur on P2 nearly P3 and u have a turbo car.. when the new laws come in are u effected..?

wtf are you talking about...if you're currently on your p's you're ok. The P1, P2, P3 bullsh*t only comes in after July 1 and hence power restrictions only apply to people that obtain their P's after that date!

These apply from 1 July 2007

Key changes will include:

-peer passenger restrictions (only carrying one passenger aged under 21) from 11pm to 5am for P1 under 25

-late night driving and other restrictions for disqualified and suspended young drivers

Thankfully, according to information any person who has their p's license before 1 july 2007 will have no restrictions.

You know what i realise?....for those under 25 thier means of safety when going out at night not just clubbing will actually be more jeopardised.....what ever happened to organising a designated driver?

This new law means your having a nanny night and taking everyone home before 11...........Or if in particular your a girl like me, some means of "alternative" transport isnt allways the safest bet either.....look at the new ACA offenders of bus drivers, other drunken males on buses, trains.....and also some sex offending taxi drivers.

Instead of being able to trust those near and dear to us we are forced to trust strangers when were out at night.

Im definatly not going to stay out til 5am till i can give my firends a ride.....that one i just dont get people.

Two people per car late at night is ok.....but isnt brisbane currently going through a traffic and population crisis?.....Arnt they trying to get more cars OFF the road?

someone enlighten me please.

But! But! Young kids! KIDS DAMNIT! Are driving better cars then ME! I'll just put this law in then I can own them all at the lights lol.

(Sarcasm on the internet)

I can only hope when they realise that this new system doesn't change their much beloved statistics they'll remove it, but we all know it won't happen.

BTW im so lucky :) my P plater license is booke before the 1st July turnover

hope all goes well.....im determined to get my license so badly just to be able to drive a skyline everynow and then :)

Im a granny driver tho .....not the stupid type, thankfully the stick to the speed type.

Im all sweet!

hehe sucked in prego! :wave:.....dont worry tho, you have planety of choice

I have a question, what happens to those who say currently own a Provisional (P) license and it got revoked or suspended going through 1st of july, or after 1st of July what happens?

Anyone know this one?

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
