Hey guys was just wondering about the Driving laws up there, I'm currently in Victoria and most probably will be moving back to brissy at the beginning of next year but Victorian law states that international students are allowed to drive on their international licenses until they complete their course...this has treated me very well as I have been able to drive my skyline and drink to 0.05 at the early ages of 20 and I dont have to deal with whole the point system. However I have just realized I cannot find the same laws in the Queensland transport laws so I was just wondering if any of you guys know about this? Hopefully I'll start seeing you guys on cruises by the beginning of next year

Ring them up. But the time I got pullover for redlight (during uni days), they only gave me a fine without any points deduction when I showed them my Singaporean license. I've since kept the license with me all the time.

from my experience working with guys on international licenses, i believe you have a 3month grace period to roll it over, however apparently its as simple as filling out a form at Queensland transport

as for when the 3month period starts i'm not sure sorry, and whether you go onto P laws or open laws i am unsure also

give qld transport a call :)

thats my 2cents :O

You only require a QLD licence if you are a permanent resident. Once you gain PR you have 3 months grace period to apply for a QLD licence otherwise you will be regarded as an unlicenced driver. You can drive on your international licence as an intl student. This is from my previous experience but the laws may have chged so just double chk.

international students should give me money

then i will like them

Hahah thanks for all the input guys, I'll investigate a little more but if I get accepted for my transfer from Monash to UQ i'll probably see you guys soon. Hopefully in some sort of GTR. But Col if you see the prices we pay for uni you'd be surprised if most international uni students have any money left!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
