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?

lol dude i think the fact i can hear something spool up is good enough for me hahaha

buy a turbo whistle than any car can sound like a turbo lol.

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 :D:)

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.

aside from the fact they are death traps... dont stop or corner :merli:

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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
