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?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
