then buy one and get a licence before the new laws come in. the end.

ummm well i cant get a gts-t or any other one with a turbo or if its been super charged because i would get fined or get me car inmpounded

so theres no chance of me getting a skyline with a turbo

turbo's and super charged cars will be illigel to drive for a P1 and P2 platers

while the power to wight raito may change

so... in other words... i can only get a non-turbo with no real power >_<

the system sucks for the people that want a fast car but dont want to drive insane on the roads :S

well then if you knew that... wtf are you complaining about.

like i said in another post... sucks to be you. i read you were what 16? thats just to bad your not 18 and able to get your P's now... coz if you got your P's before the new laws came in. the new laws wont affect you.

Do the standard exemptions apply to these new rules?

eg: if it's a business vehicle or if it's the only car you have access to you can get an exemption from VicRoads and still drive it legally?

I e-mailed vic roads.

if you have your Ps before July 2007 the rules don't apply.

this is what the told me.

"The new high powered vehicle restrictions will apply to all drivers issued

a probationary licence from July 2007. This means if you currently hold or

are issued a probationary licence on or before 30 June 2007 then you will

not be affected by the change in the high powered vehicle requirements.

However if you will be issued with a probationary licence on or after 1July

2007, then the new restrictions will apply.

This 12 month lead time is designed to let people know well in advance of

the new requirements of what type of vehicle they should consider acquiring

if they are likely to obtain their licence after this date. The current

exemptions for use for work reasons and exceptional circumstances will

continue to apply.

Information about the current high powered vehicle restrictions are

provided in the following link

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vrne/vrne5n...EB0019D1F0?open

High powered vehicles under as of July 2007 are explained in the following

link

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/download.../GLSA4_FAQs.pdf

Under the new high powered vehicle restrictions, it is expected that the

sorts of non turbo, non V8, non super charged cars that are likely to be

banned include BMW 3 series and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z or if the

capacity of the car exceeds 115kw/T or more that 205kw.

Regarding your question about green Ps, you will be bound by the conditions

when your original licence was issued. At 1July 2008 you will only need to

serve the remaining period of your Ps, on the Green Ps."

i am keeping the e-mail, so if i ever get pulled over. i have evidence. :laugh:

some of you are telling the turth about driving and how people just can not drive

and theres others who just dont agree but theses are going to be the new laws theres nothing anyone can do

the anti hoon laws what are in now has got about 20 cars impounded where i live in the last 2 weeks

so people should just do this crap on a track or the friday night drags.

it might cost more but a least you get to keep ypur licence

coz you dont know when your numbers up

Good one Nebz!

The current exemptions for use for work reasons and exceptional circumstances will continue to apply.

So to all the people having a cry about the restrictions, buy your "high powered vehicle" now, move out of home when you get your licence, and apply for an exemption.

yeah the exact same thin happend in nsw, as most would allready (speacially ppl in NSW :D ) im in the same situation i recently got my red p's (p1's) and checked the RTA (who deal in roads n shit in nsw) website for prohibited vehicles. r33 gtst wasnt on it so i called up the RTA and they said if it isnt on the list then u can drive it. but im still cautious as it says turbo's so yeah. and basically if you can prove u purchased the car befor you the laws came in i think the restriction may not apply, at least thats the case in NSW..

Have a good one

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
