Im almost off my L-Plates and Ive been driving around my Dad's R33 GTST as on my L's im allowed to with parents in car.

However when Dad bought the car I payed for it because it is gonna be mine, but this was before i read up on P-Plate restrictions. I read about Special Exemptions that allow for permission to drive the car if it is passed down by a Family Member.

If anyone has info on this or has done it could you pls post here as I will miss driving it for the duration of my P's.

you gotta check with the rta for this,

my wife can drive my car cause it's the only car in our names(not that i'd let her drive it anyway).

i heard from some people that if you own the car before you get your p's or l's you can drive it but it has to be in your name. not 100% about it though

i never had to look into this because i got my p's before the laws came out, but from friends of mine that have told me alittle about it what i gatherd is you can get an exemption if its the only car your family has and its not practical to buy another car,

if you have a legit reason for having to drive it on the street (cant think of an example lol)

and i think there is a way to get an exemption after you get onto your green p's if you have not lost any demerit points in the first year of driving and not had any accidents, but if you are on p's and have an accident in the car or get caught speeding in it you loose the exemption untill you get off your p's.....

im not 100% sure because i wasnt the one who researched the topic, ask RTA

1) If you get that exemption, I'd get it in writing and carry it with you in the car

2) I'd then check with the comprehensive insurance co. to confirm that your car is covered along with that exemption.

3) I'd then inform the CTP co. that you are under 25/30 and that your premium is adjusted

Possible #4) If the car has mods (depending on what they are), I'd get an engineer's certificate and carry that around on you too

Then you are ready to meet the Police.

Have fun mixed with safety :P

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
