Its still there, but you have to prove it.

I would suspect the reigns will be drawn in aswell on that issue.

As it was reasonably easy to have it granted. Even though most did not because the fine was minimal anyhow.

Good luck trying to get VicRoads to believe the only car your family owns in your 45yr old fathers modified R33 GTS-t

Best way to do it is to register a business, and register your parents cars to the business. Then register the suspect vehicle to your parents personally. Very easy to trace and not very difficult, but I found it worked well for a good 3 years.

What does that have to do with getting an exemption?

I was implying that it's not all that uncommon to find 45 year old men driving modified skylines, so proving it to VicRoads would be easier than you suggested (although probably still difficult)

for those interested... re: Exemptions

I rang vicroads (several times and averaged the answers lol!)

""IF"" you manage to obtain a letter of exemption from vicroads due to the car being a work related vehicle... it may ONLY be driven while AT work, for only WORK purposes.... and is not allowed to even be driven too and from work! only AT WORK.... so that loophole has well and truely been covered, because if you get caught driving at say; 10:30 on a saturday night with all your mates in the car, dont expect to be able to use the exemption paper!

so garaging, swapping with parents or selling up would probably be quite a wise thing until off your P's... on that note.. who wants to buy my r32 LOL - P-plate Legal!!! haha

early on in my p's i went from a hyundai excel to a r33 gtst and then got my first red light ticket after that i have been real carefull where and when i put my foot down. its quite a challange being in this kind of car with only one point left but i still wont sell my car just because some fat bald guy in a suite thinks i am a hazard to his tax payers funded existence.

i get my opens in august and i plan on keeping my car its my choice. cheers.

Hey guys,

Well I just called VicRoads, and they confirmed the laws are still coming in.

I also enquired about adding weights, and he said you'd need to get the car weighed at a weigh bridge and then do your own calculations.

I believe there's one on Hume Hwy?

The one on the Hume is miles out. Go to any industrial area or truck yard and ask where they go for weighing as the penalties are high for excess weight. We have one here but its not for vehicles who arent working/doing work for us and also it may not even register a car weight as they are so light in comparison.

so they actually said yes u can make ur car heavier, but ull need to weigh and do the calcs urself?

Wrong again.

The law is off the factory figures. Period.

There is no "unless its modified" "mods are engineered" "whatever".

f**k me do we have to go through this again, it's irrelevant what the moron at vicroads tells you, go a read the law thats written in the book, its factory figures end of story!

Theres no way around it and thats that alright!

FYI i will be keeping my car as it is my pride and joy, and will keep driving it until i get dicked. Ive been driving it for a year now, pulled over once for random breatho n that was it. No check under bonnet or power to weight.

$1100 max? Does this mean you first offence may be say around $110, then $500, then 3rd $1100??? That how it works?

$1100 is $1100. There is no scaled increase.

Its $1100.

And i'll be willing to bet now the law actually carries a reasonable weight. The Police will certainly crack down hard on it.

They arent silly, they know what the cars look like :ninja:

this new law's only apply to the new p plates dont it. I dont understand it all, does my head in.

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/c_youngGLS_9.html all the info on this site.

NO

Please read the thread, its already been covered in plain english. The laws already exist!!!!!!!

Its really not that hard to understand.

fark me drunk.

Taxi - nope :ninja:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
