Since when was there a law brought in saying you had to have 3rd party?

Umm well when you register your car, included as part of that fee is CTP (compulsary third party) insurance.

So if you drive a car, you have CTP, unless you drive an unregistered car, or you drive whilst disqualified from driving -which is highly illegal mainly for the reason that you dont have CTP.

And if you damage property, or a hit a person or have any accident you are 100% liable for everthing (and often would never be able to pay it off).

So i believe you are actually refering to the TAC insurance which i believe is not third party it covers you and other drivers for personal injury only.

I believe you could drive V8's on the early P plate laws? I did and it was legal, as long as it was under the power to weight ratio.

The 33 gts-t in question would be illegal IMO regardless of any paperwork as the system goes by the factory power and factory weight, not to mention the illegal mods.

The thing I would be worried about though is that any insurance company that knows what it is doing (i.e all of them), would not pay out a claim, or cover you in any circumstance should you have an accident driving a car that your not allowed to drive. Not sure about the compulsary 3rd party either.

edit - But they will obviously insure you and take your money.

i drove a skyline r33 gts-t on my p's under the old laws never had an issue with power to weight i thought it came in under the kw per tonne. it had a big front mount and some other more discreet things never had a drama for power to weight maybe the 30 or so cops who stopped me on my p's just didnt worry about it 5 years ago :P

So i believe you are actually refering to the TAC insurance which i believe is not third party it covers you and other drivers for personal injury only.

What i am referring to is the compulsary third party insurance that is covered in your rego (maybe it was renamed to TAC insurance)

- and yes for personal injury

but either way it is not the same as the similarily named 'third party' / 'third party fire theft' type insurances you can purchase.

Ok it looks like it has been renamed very recently to TAC charge. I think you will find it is still referred to as Compulsory third Party -alot of companys offer alternate CTP when you goto rego your car you can elect to use them. Car dealerships off 'free CTP ' etc as incentives.

- It's the same thing.

It is not 3rd party. Just personal injury, that is it.

It does not cover for instance the other persons car, other property etc.

I cannot see how that has much to do with 3rd party. It's been TAC charge/insurance for years now. I've always called it that.

CTP Insurance

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance is a type of insurance policy. CTP insurance provides you with protection from a damages claim in the event that you or the person driving your car are the driver at fault in a motor vehicle accident. It provides compensation to the person that was injured or killed. It is called a Green Slip simply because it is green in colour.

This is from moneystuff.net.au ;

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) or green slip insurance (NSW)

In NSW, compulsory third party (CTP) insurance covers you if your car kills or injures another person. The driver of a car that is involved in a car accident is covered if they are not at fault and if the accident involved another car and it's driver was at fault.

CTP insurance must be paid before the car can be registered. When you pay this insurance you are given a stamped "green slip". This is your receipt and proof that you have paid for this insurance.

Most insurance companies offer CTP insurance and the cost will depend on the:

  • age of the youngest driver
  • type of car

The Motor Accidents Authority (MAA) has a website at www.maa.nsw.gov.au that provides information on CTP insurance and how much it can cost.

Transport Accident Commission Charge (TAC) (Victoria)

If you live in Victoria, a Transport Accident Commission Charge (TAC) is a compulsory third party insurance which you pay at the time of registration. If the car you are driving kills or injures another person and it is your fault, TAC will cover their costs.

If you are the driver of a car involved in an accident and it is your fault, you are also covered if you suffer injury.

The TAC fee is calculated according to the type of car, its use and its garaged location.

Make sure you include these costs in your budget.

umm

That is a link to a gov site on CTP from the ACT.

http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...ArticleID=36771

Thats an article on insurance in general, mentioning victoria's comulsary "third party personal" insurance (which would be TAC charge)

There are more sites but yeah..

Cleary the 'third party' is the other person involved in an accident not at fault? (or the reverse of that?)

I'm not trying to be argumentative but it really surprises me that you guys have never heard of it at CTP before seeing your obviously knowledgable guys.

So what you are pointing out is that it is CTP in nsw and a TAC charge in victoria, being that this thread is in the victorian section then we are talking about the TAC charge.

Now that we have established what had already been established what was the point?

What im pointing out buddy is that the TAC charge is the name given to the compulsory third party personal injury insurance in victoria, or rather, the name they give to the charge (and that charge is for the insurance),

and it was in response to your original comment - "Since when was there a law brought in saying you had to have 3rd party?"

Since forever, you just knew the name of the charge on the rego slip .. 'tac charge' (what did you think it was for???? )

and you were also mistaking what i said for third party (property) insurance, which is offered by insurance companies and is not compulsory.

The term third party does not even apply to the tac insurance as third party (as in third party fire and theft) covers some one else when you f**k up but does not cover you, whereas the tac insurance is there to cover any personal injury regardless of whether the other person has rego (although i could be wrong on that one, thankfully never had to make a claim).

And yes, when i hear the term third party i assume its something through an insurance company, as oppposed to the TAC charge which i have always known as TAC insurance, not compulsory third party.

Actually... you've only pointed that out now.

Earlier you said:

... included as part of that fee is CTP (compulsary third party) insurance.

So if you drive a car, you have CTP, unless you drive an unregistered car, or you drive whilst disqualified from driving

And if you damage property, or a hit a person or have any accident you are 100% liable for everthing ...

The way it is worded there makes no mention of CTP Personal Injury. Just CTP. (different)

It would also imply (as you make reference to property damage), that CTP covers this. It does not.

No-one is mistaking, you were unclear.

What other states call it is utterly irrelevant AFTER you've made a very unclear statement.

I'm well aware CTP is the Green Slip for NSW. However this is Victoria, we speak Victorian. Same as Terrance and Philip speak Canadian! :cool:

You simply say, Compulsory Third Party.

Leaving off the Personal Injury part you might not think is important, but its the entire essence of the point.

Very important to state what the CTP is actually for/covering.

End of the day, its called TAC Insurance, had been for at least 8 years 100%, so it is not a recent change as you also said.

Yes i acknowledge i made a mistake in my first post saying it also covered property,

As for saying ctp instead of ctp personal injury, i do not believe they are different things, as ctp or compulsory third party 'personal injury' is the only form of compulsory insurance in Australia so thus compulsary third party would automatically refer to personal injury..

But yes i should have clarified it =]

End of the day, there is a third party insurance that is compulsary. and yes its for personal injury, and yes its you are charged under the name TAC charge.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
