Have you considered, I don't know, checking the web site of the government department that looks after licensing?

This is not what SAU looks like.

If you can't work out how to Google an answer to what cars you can't buy and what options you don't have, then maybe you shouldn't have a car with "power". There's a reason why they don't want certain people driving certain cars, and from what I've read of your posts so far you're it.

Get a honda, say a prelude VTi-R. You could most likely find one for under 10 grand but in my honest opinion, get a working, reliable car with that 10 grand and wait until you get off your p's and then get any car you want. Everyone else has waited, I'm sure you can too.

Good choice! If UR in Sydney (but it looks like it could be Melb), you can have a try of my VTiR 4th Gen (although it ain't 4 sale). They're going for about $8500 now; + or -.

so have a budget of 10k and on p-plates.

if your in to skylines you could consider the following.

R31 skyline- Aussie built RB30E has pertental and a grate car for a newby driver IMO.

R32 skyline non turbo- RB25DE bloody hard to find or put a RB30E in it.

R33 skyline non tubro- i dont know much about them

R34 skyline non turbo- may be out of your price range by a few k but still a great car

i know most about the 31 since i owned one for 4 year.

avg price 2-4k for a decent stock example about 5-6k for a moded one.

has a 3L eng and can easerly get some decent power (i had 120rwkw after apx $3000 spent of performance mods in n/a form after a stock 70rwkw).

can find manuals

heaps of performance parts avalerble.

then you would have any n/a 4cyl car or 6cyl car

i.e

corrola

falcon

best bet jump on carsales do a search with your buget for all n/a cars with a max CC of 3500 (3.5L) i think thats the biggest you can go.

this will then give you a list of all current cars that are up to your buget that are non turbo/supercharged and have aeng capacity no bigger then 3.5L

hope this helps

The only problem with buying non turbo 32/33/34's, is that they're a tad on the gutless side. (no offence to the non-turbo boys, I'm sure you've all got your reasons why you own one.)

The kid next to you in the SSS or civic or integra will hand your ass back to you in a second.

A good P plate friendly car list whilst having some enjoyment while driving:

R31 if you like a RWD basher

Pulsar SSS

Integra Type R or Civic Type R

VTiR Prelude

MX-5

Set them up to handle.

Someone close this thread. This topic has been done to death

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
