Read the VicRoads regulations - its all on thier website, there is a legal limit, and then there is illegal.

i put up my green Ps today, and couldn't see them AT ALL through the back window... ill probably leave it that way, i reckon with a big green P plate on the back of a skyline ill be more likely to get pulled over. until then ill just quietly slip through the cracks muahaha

Slip through you wont, go through a booze bus or something your likely to cop 3 demerits, happened to me (was just a fine back then).

Then enjoy having no room for error for 3 years otherwise its bye-bye license.

Small thing to do, big price to pay. Just my advice

Do you guys know where I could buy a set of green P's that comes with like a suction cup? Not those you just stick on and peel off?

I was lookin for them also, ended up gettin a set for $2.50 after mate got a set from a $2 shop. Petrol stations oughta be stocking em soon, if not already.

I was young once too, i never wore P-plates period.

However, with it now carrying 3 Demerits, its a bit different. Gone are the days when i used to get $100 fine for "no p plates" and just pay it and be done with it. I'd been done maybe 3-4 times in 18months... but yeah, 3 demerits, one more offence and license is gone.

Sucks to be a p-plate user these days, because son of rajab knows the rules aren't here to do nothing but look good to the public.

The real problems are elsewhere

My bro was speaking to a chick from vic roads the other day n she said that with the new regs that came in a green P plater wasnt allowed to drive a turbo car anymore at all n with the v8's its a new power to rate ratio, just hear say though, i havent checked it out, the cops dont know the rules too well cos when he got pulled over in my car they didnt say anything.

they stuffed up bringing the laws in at all different times because there are some green p platers that can drive turbos and some that cant! so its all a bit of a mess for the next couple of years until it becomes plain and simple to the police as to who is allowed to do what!

hey ric (HEKT1C) remember i once thought "yeah i'll slip through the cracks, everyone else gets away with it" and I didnt... hope you make it til december mate!

only 122 days til i'm off my P's ... but who's counting

Some mate you have making 50c from you! :banana:

r.e. magnetic ones, could be worth looking elsewhere, even overseas. Back when I got my licence over 10 years ago, they had a white magnetic plate with a green P on it in the UK. This was purely optional and designed to let other road users know you were a new driver. There may be reversed ones that you can get if not available here or from the UK but elsewhere, they were the same font and size but "technically" are not Aussie issued ones so could be done for them if an officer was adhering to the letter of the law. :)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
