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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
