Suitable Vehicle For P2 Driver

[EDSC]

Hey guyz....i'm new here and i got some questions~~

I'll b study in sydney coming september n decided to get a car there...

but i heard that there's a new law for P2 license holder

-canot drive vehicle wif high performance 6/8 cylinder engine

-turbocharged/supercharged

-engine performance modification

Is tis a new law for P2? i'm 19 so if i convert my license to NSW, it will b P2 as the minimum require for full license is 20 years old...or foreign can get full license directly? Hahaz...

so how do they rate a high performance 6 cylinder engine? a RB20DET ? RB25DET? SR20DET ?

The vehicle came wif stock turbocharged engine are counted in ?

Engine performance modification included 4 throttle/ ECU/ or something else ?

I had used to drive turbo car in my country...hehe and i was shocked by the new law....as my plan is jus to get myself a S13 SR20DET...but wat's goin on?? no turbocharged vehicle is allowed ?

can some1 lead me ? thx alot

i dont think the new laws apply to people overseas, if you have a full license from where you live then i think it will convert to a full license over here.

you might want to call the NSW RTA first.

A corolla ? erm....think of sprinter b4 that...Hehe...

Oh yea, thx for help..i'll pay a visit at RTA once i reach there....^^

Any auto salon or events coming up around october ?

Well...any1 hav some detail for circuit in syd/nsw? I remember there is one but i cant recall the name..

As security said, you might be in with a chance to get a full, or P2 unrestricted licence.

Just check with the RTA (as mentioned).

All the best.

Nothing wrong with that

Not sure what basket you would go in. Those who got their Ps before the rule was introduced can get away with it (I'm no lawyer, but thats how I take the rules ) I'm not sure about people transfering licences from different states or people from different countries applying for a licence. My guess is that you should get the licence and if it says anything about performance vehicles, thats what you will have to go with.

After searching the RTA website for about 45 mins (which I must say is absolutly shit for finding the info you want) I found the list of high performance,

naturally aspirated cars that provisional drivers can't drive http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downlo...ered_6_list.pdf

The only Nissans that fall under that category are 350Zs, apparently the good old RB25DE isn't good enough... The person that came up with these rules thought long and hard about it... no V35s and no RX-8s.

Wakefield Park - 2 hours from sydney, nice safe circuit

Eastern Creek - maybe 30-45mins from the CBD, more interesting than wakie, but more chance of hitting something if you have an off

DC2R or old mx5

Hey guyz..look at this

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/publicationsstat...ds/45071143.pdf

THats wat i found from the RTA jus now !!

Quote from the application form:

"person who can prove they owned the prohibited vehicle prior to 11 July 2005 or before an interstate/overseas licence transfer (attach proof of acquisition). Note, only a provisional who has never held a NSW licence before his/her licencetransfer can apply for this exemption"

so is it I came from overseas and i still have my oversea licence, i can buy a prohibited vehicle and then change my licence over and then get a exeption application form.

Is that works ?

You will most likely be stuck on your p's if because of your age if you are changing from an overseas licence. It probably fall under the new rule.

Buy a R31

ring up the NSW RTA and ask as i know of a few people who have gone straight onto their full license from a corresponding international license.

otherwise you'll get 10 people and 15 different opinions.
