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?

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
