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.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
