Buy yourself something N/A and lightweight, go to the track and have some fun, do some driver training, then when your off your P's not only will you have the ABILITY to drive a turbo car to its full extent, but the thrill you will get of going from a lowish powered N/A car to a high powered turbo car will DEFINITELY be worth the wait.

Just the feeling of getting your license and being independent is good enough, i wouldnt jeopardise that IMO.

Think of it this way, if you get caught, you wont be able to go round to that girls house in the middle of the night with no license and car :P

I reckon you would have to be mad to risk it-

I have had my unrestricted licence for years, but every time I get signalled into a roadside RBT station, (at least 4 times in the last 6 months!) the first question they ask is "are you a P-plater?"... Must be the childs face I have on..

drove my car on my p's for about 4 months everyday... just dont display your p-plates and avoid late night driving..

I dont recommend you do this but if you have no choice thats the best thing to do...

Highway patrol's can quite easily catch you... but if its a normal patrol car on the street just hope he doesnt take a second look at you...

GL !

its absurd how many P platers run turbo cars and just happen to have gotten there licence before the restrictions came in. :laugh:

The restriction came out in July 2005, so to have gotten your red p before it came in would mean being on your P plates without being disqualified for 5 years.

I got my Red p in 2003 and have been on p plates ever since due to one disqualification that came from driving while suspended for fine default.

Personally I drive a turbo car everyday, even though the restriction was added for me in 2007. I've had v8's and turbos before that, so It's basically a punishment, not a safety concern. I haven't put a p plate on any of my cars for about 1 year now, but I don't look like a p driver and my licence doesn't say Provisional across the top because its a heavy vehicle driver licence, that probably helps.

A old mate of mine had his licence suspended for 10 yrs because he kept driving whilst disqualified, He initially lost it for being booked a few times and lost his 12 points, if you dont need a licence and have lots of money to pay fines go for it but think of the long term consequences

id risk it, you only live once, right?

Terrible advice. Yeah you only live once, so why make it miserable with no license and losing money from fines? And like the dude above me said, when it's midnight and you wanna drive to your missus' house... GL.

im 16 and still on my ls and i bought a 3.6l v6 storm like 3 weeks ago and id do anything to be on my ps just because of the freedom not to thrash my car.. im goin to try avoid any run in with the cops while on my ps. ill be on my best behaviour :D seriously.

LOL, those 3.6L are shit...Should have bought a slightly older 3.8L... They just love to skid!

They are...

The older V6 commodores love to get on the break... The 3.6L prefer to make power in revs over torque, and aren't as easy to have fun with.

yeah i figured bout the revs over torque.. but thanks i guess. though it is a ute so end is gonna come out easy anyways :D.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
