But do you put your P plates up?

i dont get why half of you guys are attacking the boy. tis a stupid law and it comes down to how you control it and it seems he's been doing fine.

good work with getting away with it until now, how long where u driving around with it for?

You want some bullet holes in your Stag TJ? Don't push me boy...you don't know who I know from the Internets.

excuse me?

Did you lose your sense of humor at the same time you lost your f**king mind?

Threaten me with guns and bullets over a on going joke about e-thug? Take a step back and think before you post that kind of shit again.

Maybe he meant speed holes......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm speed holes, my car has heaps of them :(

Are you sure he put in the claim himself / it wasn't in his parent's name? It just sounds hard to believe that insurance companies, somewhat reputable for trying to get out of claims, should process a claim with no attention paid to driver status...I wouldn't risk it myself because they had every legal right to refuse a payout on that claim. Shame he didn't get to learn his lesson.

It might of been in his parents name.... but I doubt it as he took out the loans n shit to buy the car, but I'm not 100% sure. Although when he totalled his car, cops were there in seconds and ambos, so they knew he was driving it...

Hmm... what i dont get is why the RTA let P plater's register turbo cars under their names when they know we cant drive them?? Beats me....

IMO !!! if the LAW really did not want "P-Platers" to drive around in turbo cars.... THEN WHY THE @#$$ LET US REGISTER IT UNDER OUR NAMES !!!

So when they pull you over they get extra revenue because you shouldn't be driving it.. DUH :(

I don't know if you have noticed or not but every government is a business, they don't give a f**k about the people living in the country.

hmmm... i understand they dont give a f**k about the people.... but i mean come on man why set such a strict law then go ahead and let them register turbo cars? i dont think its right and im surprised no one has protested....

I think if they had done that there would be a LOT less p platers driving around in turbo cars...

+1, driving around with no insurance is just stupid.

Also when you pay for your road rego what does the 3rd party thing on that mean? Does it mean that they assume you have gotten 3rd party insurance when you pay for the road rego?

The 3rd party insurance premium on your registration covers personal injury to others/yourself in the event of an accident. It also covers damage to state/council owned property, e.g. roads and signs. But it doesn't cover privately owned property, e.g. cars and buildings.

LOL it took a couple of SMS to work this one out. All cool now though...I concede I forgot to add in the "lols" at the end of my comment to suggest it was a joke :(

Again, for the record people, the e-thug sounding post was a joke...I'm not an e-thug lol.

Like i said, it's for the cash. Why would they not let you register it? Knowing well and truly young males are genuinely stubborn and will go out and buy and drive one anyway? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Whatever helps you sleep at night 2pac :(

LOL 2PAC.....

Ok Topher fair enough i can see where your coming from... but for f#$$ sake can you see where im coming from? damn this government..... and damn the p platers who ruined it for us sensible ones

Because it's not illegal to have a high powered car registered under your name on your P plates. It is illegal to drive it though. You can pay all the bills for the car and have your 50 year old father driving the car legally.

Also, insurance will happily insure your vehicle...they're "assuming" you're not going to drive it. You'll be covered for theft, or a nominated full licence driver, and that's it. If you make a claim based on you actually driving and smashing the thing then you will be very lucky if they payout on the claim.

yeah just call birds an e-thug and he will get his facebook warrior's on to you

I don't need facebook warriors, I've got a whole garage full of e-guns on Counter-Strike.

I knew you were joking... I was like "Whoa" when TJ replied but sarcasm and text don't mix so heh. So glad you guys kissed and made up :)

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
