I just yesterday recieved my letter from road transport saying my good behaviour conditions are finished. The wording in the letter came across as, well you have behaved yourself for 18 months feel free to go wild. LOL.

I nearly lost my P2's for not wearing a seat belt in the back seat of a car (3 demerit points).

Hired a lawyer, took that to court, won...

Got on my fulls about 2 weeks later...

1 week after that, lost my fulls for 6 months for another offence.

Lol oops.

But much better than having to do the whole P system again.

I can't wait untill I'm done with this P plates hassle lol :(. 12 months is a long time...........

Many people head out for a boost skid on the 8th may? My mate is taking his 33 so I'll be out there with him

I'll be easily 22 - 23 before I am off my P's :P.

D, back in 2007 I appealed my license already - Your entitled to one appeal per 5 years. Unfortunatly I have to suck it up and ride the bus for the next 12 months.. I guess I better not dwell on the license loss and start planning mods and restorations to the R :(

Amazing how times have changed.....def not trying to rub salt Weezy but did you know that I had my FULL licence 4 weeks after turning 16 with only 8 questions to answer right and 4 diagrams with a quick drive around the block by the local copper who used to carry mum's groceries to her car from "Toms" supermarket in Daw Park......I'd hate to be going with what you guys are going thru these days.

they definitely need to review the system

i was dealt with the same consequence, for no p plates , as i would of got if i was caught drink driving...

surely thats unfair ?

Car is booked into Walker Chassis for July :(

Full weld in cage, Heaps of bars, strut tower bracing, the whole lot :P

Got my welder mate coming down in the next couple of weeks to do seam welding, drop tank mounts and covering up the backseat from the boot :(

I'll be easily 22 - 23 before I am off my P's :( .

dont worry bout it too much mate, i have just turned 22, and i am actually stuck on my p's. i was given 3years with no points when i had just turned 18 (long story), then it got extended for no reason, when i went to get my licence back.

i have to wait until june 25th this year to go for my p2 test, but because i have just gotten into the navy, i wont be able to sit the test, as i can only come back to adeladie on weekends when i am not rostered on. they also won't let me do the test early.

my licence expires in december this year, which is when i was meant to be eligable for my full licence.

all in all, i got used to it, i got dealt with the raw end of the stick, but i wanted to drive, and this was the only way

cheers Bengi

Bah!

i have been on my p's and import s13 should be the same as me, but i have been through both systems (i had my p's before p1 & p2's came in, and i am now on my p1's due to a licence loss)

i have actually stained the window tint from sticking the little rubber suction cup onto my mum's cars windows they have been there that long lol

Yeah, I'm the same. Got my licence before all this P1, P2 crap.

Got a letter saying my licence was pending disqualification unless appealed. Appealed it, had to live on 1 point for 4 and a half years :blink:

I was better off losing my licence for 6 months, getting them back, and then getting off my P's sooner! But needed to get to work etc. so I had no choice.

I'm still wanting to know where this extra year and a half came from and what for!

Because I technically never acutally lost my licence (re: pending disqualification if not appealed) I tried to get out of the P1, P2 system. But the dude was telling me it doesnt work like that and that I did actually lose my licence. I tried everything to get out of this stupid P1, P2 crap!

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
