Hey everyone,

Got a situation. Purchased my car in QLD 2yrs ago on my P plates. Could legally purchase and drive it etc. Moved interstate and transferred my licence to NSW to a Green P's, only to incur that **cked vehicle restriction on my licence. I applied for an exemption and was granted one for my R33 GTS. My reasons were owned vehicle prior to interstate transfer and work transportation. However I want to get a GTR now. Anyone been stuck like this? Will they let you just change to another prohibited vehicle like that?

If I can't im keeping the GTS I cant live without boost for a year till i get my fulls.

Cheers,

why did you need an exception to drive a GTS?

I think he might mean GTST?

kGB: you may aswell keep your current car for another year until you get off your P's so you can drive a GTR.

Or move back to QLD, buy a GTR, and then come back to NSW??

If you have an exemption then your exempt from all turbo vehicles was my understanding .. but I have total exemption from the law.. I guess you may not?

It will detail it on the rear of your licence, will either have your specific car or nothing written which means you are exempt. apart from 0bac piss

Nah I think what has happened now that it is vehicle specific. On my restriction paper it shows the details of my R33. You are able to apply to change the details for another vehicle its just finding a reason. For anyone in future who needs to get an exemption here is the RTA page with all the details and forms.

High Performance Restrictions NSW

It is not impossible to get the restriction it is just difficult. I will give the RTA a buzz today and let you guys know what they can do...

Unless your posting is greater than 18 months when you come out on LSP, there should not be any reason for you to change your licence or registration of the vehicle. This is a bit hard for Army and RAAF's but since no posting in the Navy is greater than 18 months you can keep whatever rego and licence ya want.

Thus avoiding the RTA's pointless vehicle restrictions who still can't supply me with any evidence that they're new laws have reduced the 'P' plate road toll.

eg: A P plater can buy a 190kw Ford Falcon XR6 but they can't buy a 190kw Mazda 3 MPS because of the turbo...WTF!!

Please explain RTA...

ACT Dont have Green P's Or Turbo Restriction..

If you've been living there for 6 months you can transfer over your licence to an ACT one.. and guess what, your on your greens... they dont have greens.. So it's full licence for you..

Yeah its balls. When do we get a say in the matter. They keep shifting the goal posts for people who have been caught in the middle of all these different states restrictions. Also it makes me furious when we have no say. What 18-21yo P-plater reads the forum section in the Sunday Telegraph and sends letters in? Or has time to send letters to goverment agencies complaining. It is all these do gooders out there that want to hug tree's and save the world. I don't want to see my mates kill themselves and there peers, but we have no chance to voice ourselves. Instead of writing letters we are on forums like this one where our disputes go unheard. Yes deaths are common for P platers in aus but I believe we are not given any incentive to improve our driving skill or attitude. There needs to be a carrot dangled to get some movement with these laws. P plate drivers get targeted alot and the media only highlights the bad aspects of our group e.g speeding, hooning and cruising. One person can spoil it for us all but I wish the RTA would take a different look at the situation to solve the problem instead of listening to do gooders that are retired and have nothing better to do than write letters. It's our future and the way things are going we are all going to be driving smart cars until were 25 if we don't step up and let our opinions be voiced... :teehee: *phew*

Anyone on the same wavelength?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
