do you have any infp n the new p plater laws coming in on july

there wouldnt be any except for wat you can find in the media.

nothin can really be provided based on the fact none of its gone through parliment to pass it as laws, etc.

creating documents, etc now and uploadin for ppl to view could be a waste of time if details within those documents would then need to be changed at a later date once everything has gone through parliment.

Another document i found hiding in my comp

Police Powers And Responsibilities Act

i believe its still up to date

Lets you know exactily what the cops are allowed to do

and therefore you will know if they are not allowed to do something

(i like to be well informed)

Police powers and Responsibilities act keeps getting changed, but not in the area's you'd be worried about. Its pretty big so your better off just looking at sections. I can summarise it for you if you want....the police were the ones to create this act and they drafted it for parliment. Short story, they get to do pretty much anything they want and you have to contest or sue if you dont like it, however the law is usually not in your favour.

Second the l/p plate changes are on the site below, they have been approved and are coming to qld. http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinf...ers_diagram.pdf

i dont think so

the purchase date of the car has no bearing on the changes

its all to do with the licence date

i.e on your P's you cant drive someone else's turbo so why would you be allowed to drive your own just cause you bought it 2 year ago

Unfortunately

Guys, the modification PDF CLEARLY states on the first page that it is to be used as a guide only and cannot be used as a reference to a point of law.

You can't keep it in the car and tell the police it's ok cause it is in that PDF...

first rule of checking any laws, dont bother calling transport they never know wtf is going on. Its all coming in on July 1, most of the new laws will only affect people gaining their provisional license after July 1 though. You can reference the police to that pdf, but regardless they wont care. The only way you can have a decision by a police officer overturned is in court and as crimpage said if the pdf isn't correct in respect to the law, youve got nothing.

good news for me at least i called queensland transport

and that thigns kinda wrong

i can have turbo v8 etc as long as its under a certain hp limit and they relese this figure around feb

im happy now :laugh:

it will be a hp limit and then a power to weight ratio limit...dont like your chances of getting a skyline or any import really, if that is indeed what you plan to buy. Not trying to dampen your spirit, just be realistic. The police intend to stop inexperienced drivers from driving fast cars, not just high hp ones...light ones with decent engines will also be ruled out. And im not so sure its a bad thing, the power restrictions probably will limit crashes and deaths somewhat, that and it doesnt affect me.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
