Hi. I just bought a R33 GTS-T but I got my green P Plates after the ban. So my options are:

a) Take out the turbo.

b) Leave the turbo in there and drive it around until I get a fine.

What should I do? Is it worth paying the fine? And what are the penalties.

Thanks

Options

Sell the car buy a non turbo

or

Drive the car, prepared to get totally raped by cops once, twice, three times untill you stop driving a turbo car on your Ps.....

Taking out the turbo will still mean the car is Registered as a turbo....

Up shit creek without a paddle my friend

Sorry for being harsh.

Why the f**k did you buy a restricted car for ?

You can't insure it, and if you hit or KILL someone you WILL be f**ked - NO INSURANCE. So in theory if you hit a person, and then they require a million dollars would of medical bills, you have to (or your parents) fork out a million dollars.

You sure you want to f**k your life this early ?

The rules restricting young drivers from owning turbo cars are there so you don't have to die a virigin. You should never of even considared this car.

echo exactly AndyMac's comments.

Even if you got around insurance by not disclosing...its not legal, goooooooooooooooooooooone.

Sell car and buy non turbo - seriously, its not worth the hassles.

am i reading wrong? you got your green P's after the restriction was put into place?

That means that your not affected by the new rules?

The rule applies to the people who FIRST get their license after the rule has been put in place.. with was like 2-3 years ago around june some time.

You can tell if your on the restrictions on ur license.. it has a y or some letter on the front under the conditions and at the back it says the restriction. If it is the case that you are on the restriction list: as above. u don't just get a fine.. you loose ur license as well in 1 go

Hi. I just bought a R33 GTS-T but I got my green P Plates after the ban.

Did you have your P1 (Red Ps) prior to 11 July 2005?

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The condition applies to provisional licences issued on or after 11 July 2005. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.

This going to make me sound old...

But how long now do you have to be on red P's?

If he has just got green P's, it means he has been on red P's for "x"amount of time....

hahaha...in same boat as u my friend

fine is obviously loss of license with 3 months suspension on first offence. you will lose 7 points for driving prohibited vehicle and then more points attached for other things..like no p-plates, speeding etc. according to one cop i spoke to, he said fines are around 700 but according to another, he said round 400 or so....

this might sound bit funny but my brother still lost his licence for prohibited vehicle in a NONturbo car lol...lets just say 86 sprinter built top to bottom and 3 defects papers just to list the modifications that were spotted..lol mate thats 7points in one hit with a $550 ish fine. not worth it if u need to drive for work, etc. prohibited vehicle is a term refering to ANY vehicle that a cop reckons you arnt allowed to drive. that includes ya mums barina with a pod filter if the cop was having his rags...

yea thats true as a pod is a performance modification. if u lose ur license coz of that then dat cop is a f*khead...

i got pulled over last week in my r34 gt-t last week for speeding. as i am not allowed to drive my car, i decided i had everything to lose anyways, so i decided to be a smartass to the cop. he looked at my license and then gave me with a warning for speeding and also not displaying my p plates. so lucky there.... :P

Provisional licenses (Ps) are a min of 3 years.

According to the below...If you received your "Ps" before 11 July 2005 then you do not have any restrictions in regards to cars

If you received your P1 (Red Ps) before 11 July 2005 and then got your P2 (Green Ps) after 11 July 2005 you still do not have any restrictions in regards to cars.

If however you had your L's before 11 July 2005 then got you got your P1's after 11 July 2005 then you are restricted to certain vehicles.

Well that's my logical deduction.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
