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.

For more info please visit: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/gettin...ons.html?llid=4

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?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
