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.

Keymaker, I would prefer to drive a gutless skyline than a r31 or mx5 i would prefer to walk

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
