Im tired of driving slow cars.

Which reason will work (note, i actually do work in these jobs part time)

1. I work for a panel beater and need to drive turbo/v8 cars as part of my job

2. Im a mechanic and need to drive turbo/v8 cars as part of my job

3. Im a car detailer and must drive turbo/v8 cars to and from my clients place of work or home

Which reason will work so i can get a letter made up by my boss??

If none of these reasons work, which ones will? If anyone has got an exemption please let me know how.

Thanks!

Move to WA before they change the law there as well. An exemption will only allow you to drive a turbo/v8 during work hours to and from customers and your workshop. not saturday night cruisin around.

get a xr6 T or xr8 ute, and only drive it in work times? or tell your boss that if anyone asks u work night shifts.. that way when the cops call him up he can vouch for you and you'll be right.. might pay to keep a ladder and some tools in the tray too

These laws are here to protect you, but I see where you're coming from.

I think the things you listed will work, but only if get pulled over during work hours not at 3am on a Saturday morning.

here's a sure fire way to get a fast car legally.. and the coppers can't even touch you when you use this loophole. I've used it personally and it works great, the cop didn't give me any hassles at all.

Its called a full license.

Keep it in your pants till you're off your P's then go get whatever the hell you want. What's the big rush for? wanna impress your mates or something? You'll be on your P's for 3 out of possibly 50 years of your life behind a steering wheel, have some patience.

you can prolly try to fill out an exemption form from the RTA stating that you need to drive a high powered/performance car. That would be the safest way.

uh...huh :) but why will he need to drive it"

He has to make a good case to geet an excemption. If he gets on for work then it will have to specify it is for work purposes during work hours only. he wont be able to buy a ute and get the boss to say he needs it for work. The RTA looks at all the cars the company will have and say no.

Just sit it out and stop trying to "get around" the law.

There's absolutely no way around this... new laws are laws... I know it sucks to have to wait it out... but you just have to do that... remember, the law's there to protect you and others from dying on our roads... I see where you're coming from; but as they say "a caterpillar spoils the soup..." one bad bug of a thing and the rest cops it too... have a patience mate... when you're on your P's, the likelihood of you speeding and killing yourself is much higher than when you're off your P's... so just have a some patience.

i remember reading somewhere that.. if the car he is driving is the only car being registered at the place his living.. then legally his allowed to drive it even though its high powered?

you mean this? ( NSW Licensing P-Plate rules )

The principal family vehicle is a moderate-performance turbo/supercharged engine vehicle.

I think you'd still need to pass this though, but not sure.

You can prove direct ownership of a prohibited vehicle prior to the start of the scheme or before an overseas/interstate licence transfer.

guys, also keep in mind that P plate restrictions, and conditions vary from state to state... a lot.

R33GTS25 please post what state you're from so I can move this thread to the relevant section so you get proper advice?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
