OK so I might be moving to victoria in ~3 months, I am currently living in WA, where P plate laws aren't so insanely strict, and I'm 18 years old and just got my full license.

Will I be able to keep my turbo car or buy another v8 and/or turbo?

Will I keep my full license or have to go on p plates?

Ringing up the WA licensing centre was useless and I spent ages waiting, and no one seems to be able to provide me with an answer

try calling vicroads?

i have a bad feeling that you will be stuck on p plates because of your age.

I might have to eventually but I'd rather try get answers somewhere else first. Mobile phone+interstate call+30minutes waiting if its anything like the WA one=lots of credit gone

Well I sortof found the answer on the vicroads site, it says:

Eligibility to qualify for a full Victorian licence

You must have held an interstate or NZ licence for at least three years from your 18th birthday to obtain a full Victorian licence. Any period where you have been disqualified from driving either in Victoria, interstate or in NZ, is excluded when calculating the period of time you have held a licence.

If you have held a driver licence for three years or more, but have no evidence of this, you will need to make a declaration stating such on your application form.

If you have held your licence for less than 3 years the appropriate P1 or P2 probationary licence will be issued depending on your age and the period of time the licence has been held.

-------

Atleast 3 years since you turn 18 holding a license so I'll be a p plater again, FML.

Pretty sure you keep you're license to the conditions you were issued (if that makes sense). Like NSW L Platers can only go 80kmh max, but if a Vic L Plater came into NSW I have been taught they can do the set speed (100kmh). Dont quote me in court if it ends up that way, double check to be sure. Do you HAVE to get it changed to a VIC license? Why?

Well the way the article strait from vicroad reads I will definately be on P1's or P2's, anyone who isnt over 21 becomes a p plater.

And my license has to be transferred within 3 months so I'll have a quarter of a year left with my beloved gtst once I move before I have to buy a depressing car. I may as well use up my other 7 demerit points in this time as well cos I'll have no use for them once I only get a measly 5 on P plates. Then again, that wont be much fun because a speeding fine of 3kmph over the limit is probably 7 demerit points in vic

Hmmm there is also a clause somewhere about special consideration of vehicles. This may include if you legally purchase a car on one licence in WA then move to Vic?

Yeah sort of. You can read more about Exemptions here:

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Licenc...gedvehicles.htm

You might be out of luck though, they are a bit *tight ass* about it.

I tried to get one when i bought a turbo RX7, said for work purposes it needed extra power to carry heavy metals. And that car was the only thing in my price range. -Was a no go.

I tried a couple months later again and said my uncle died and left me the car and i can't afford another. -Don't even try this, it gets very messy.

Hmm I guess its worth a shot to apply for the exemption, it would be similar to P platers who brought restricted cars before the laws came in I guess

If that doesnt work maybe I will just keep my WA license and car and just drive over to vic and do nothing about it:p I wont change my address to a vic one (instead I can just change my address to my cousins house in WA or something) so technically I could class as living in WA. I would be worried about getting defected though if I attempt this, what would the procedure be for getting and clearing a defect on a WA registered car? And if the same officer spots me 5 times in 8 months or something they will know or suspect I'm not living in WA and could do something about it

You visit alot and you have to go between the states for work :blink:

I wouldnt bother with the exemption it probably wont happen and not only that then its on record you applied for one and then you cant say your from out of state when the cops pull you over.

They wont even bother defecting a car from antoher state as casue of the laws vary from state to state very rarely that would happen so it could probably work for the better aswel with less cop attention iwth WA pLates

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
