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

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 :nyaanyaa: 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 ? :nyaanyaa:

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

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 :thumbsup: ) 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.

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

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

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 ? :)

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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
