Hi guys,

So I got a WRC to clear my canary... will be bring it to Vicroads very soon to clear my defect... now... an EPA notice arrives asking for me to bring the car into the EPA testing centre to get my exhaust tested etc...

So now the question is... if I got my canary lifted etc... does this mean that I am legally allowed (as far as VICROADS is concerned) to drive and then will have to past the EPA test for my exhaust as a separate matter? Or do I have to pass both and get both lifted / resolved etc to start driving legally again??

some quick responses will be good as I will be getting the canary taken off soon - thought if both has to be done, might as well hold off a bit then get both done at the same time to save some time / money now...

Cheers,

While im here, you do know about the $1100/3 demrits incoming for P-Platers dont you?

Because by the sound of it, you might aswell sell up now before it costs you :(

Thats very wrong. You should read the whole website as you dont understand the current laws, and they are the ones im talking about.

Seems you and google need to become acquainted :(

Here is one of the many threads from the past 6 months on this topic.

Responses are the same, and it seems a lot of people dont understand the law, even when its clearly written.

It affects current p-plates as currently its an offence

If you are on your P's before July 1st, your allowed to drive some cars such as 32's legally but because 33's are over the 125kw/tonne limit the fine has increased to $1100 and 3 demerit points.

EVILTD if youve got any more than a month or so left on your P's (if you still are) id sell up if i were you...

I got like 1 year left on my P's...

By the way... a NEWSFLASH... just went to the local police station and asked a senior constable... his answers were... if you get your license after July then no turbos, V6/V8 etc... but... before that then you can still... however there's a new law coming out soon... STOCK AS A ROCK is what the Road & Traffic Authorities want sports cars to be... arrive alive they say,... I guess... so for all you modders out there... RICE / PERFORMANCE mods will die unfortunately soon.....

ak - wrong

Please for the love of the forum stop posting crap.

Sort of. Under the new laws; P Platers aren't allowed to drive cars where "modifications to a car in order to increase it's performance" are present, as well as nominated high performance 4's, 6's, 8s, Charged, and also cars above Power To weight.

It is so clear and has been said so many times.

If you dont get your licence before july 1 2007, get a corolla or something (and a track/drift/drag car on the side (and a trailer)) :blink: until you get off your P's.

Alternatively, move to a good state.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
