R32 Sedan Owners Rejoice.

[KezR33]

I only just discovered this:

From 6 July 2009, drivers issued with a probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 may drive some lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. The definition of a lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicle is a vehicle with 6 cylinders or less that is;

turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne;

turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that is considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and are equipped with child restraint anchorages. A family type vehicle does not include a sports car (two door coupe).

That means R32 GTST Sedans are P plate legal! So your cars have all increased in value. What other cars are now legal? VL and R31s turbo sedans? Old school Galants?

Can anyone think of any others?

wow....

so i can drive an R32 sedan?.... mmmmmmm

[scotty014]

[Mohsen]

NOTHING beats the feeling when a car comes on boost, whether it be a minute shunt from a pea shooter or the brutal kick in the head from a t62r

Did you read the next line?

In making the decision, VicRoads must consider;

* the effect on safe, efficient and equitable road use in Victoria; and

* the characteristics of the vehicle, including whether it is designed for sports performance rather than family use.

I'd be surprised if they class a GTS-t 4-door as a "family" model as opposed to a "sports performance" model in all honesty.

Given the amount of media surrounding imports compounding the situation you'll find that you can apply for the exemption (you HAVE to fill the form out), and it will then be rejected.

Happy to see it go the other way of course but i cannot realistically see that occuring.

no harm in filling it out and if they knock it back, tough luck. dont buy a 32 sedan.

oh well, the more vl's and stupid drivers we can get off the road the better. then on the news they will be talking more about commodores than skylines.

[Mohsen]

lol i would rather suck a dick than drive a VL

[bluejeans]

lol here here.

there is ZERO chance this victorian government will make any turbo skyline legal for p platers.

we just had a blitz on 'exhaust noise' for god sake!

[Ruffels]

hahah yeah and did anyone read the article in the herald sun saying that skylines are the noisiest vehichles on the road!

[CeJay]

someone want to buy mine then? shit it's got a 25 in it, ah well no luck for me

[KURAUN]

haha sorry cejay, looks like mines got more chance of selling now

[BeEnAr]

So instead of buying a 32 sedan, buy a Stag! They would be considered a family car.

[KURAUN]

they a bit of a whale compared to a 32 sedan though

[CeJay]

ah but does an autech stagea fit under 125kw a tonne? rb26 goodness

[funkymonkey]

KAACHING. value of ceffy just went up.
