Modification_Jan05v2.pdf

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

no turbo charged cars :happy:

so i turn 17 july 3 2007 just come under laws couldnt get a 32 gts t

even though has same power around a vs commodore (someone told me)

but if i was to buy this said car before new things come in would i be able to get an exemption to drive my own car?

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.

    • 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.
