Hey,

Trying to go for an exemption. Below is the letter im going to send in. Im a P2 license holder living in NSW and have 6 months left till my blacks. Just seeing if anyone can give thoughts on how to improve the letter or if they think this will fly?

To the RTA

I am writing to gain an exemption for a prohibited V6 vehicle to drive on my P2 license. Due to having my last application for an exemption not approved I was forced to turn down a job offer as a Real Estate Agent as a legal car and license was mandatory for the job. In search of income until I am able to gain my full license I am now self employed and need an exemption for the vehicle for employment purposes.

I have started my own Automotive Electrical business which services Imported cars. The main services of my business are electronic work within import cars. You can visit my website at:

************

I need an exemption to drive my car as it is the only means of transport I have to travel from job to job. I travel to the clients and service their cars at their locations and my Nissan Skyline is my only form of transportation. Public transport is not an option as I have a large amount of tools to carry around such as my soldering equipment and 3 tool boxes.

My car is also what I use to promote my business. Being an import itself I mainly focus on imported cars from Japan for work but also do work on other models that I am familiar with. I have had custom decals (stickers) placed on the car showing my business name, website and phone number. I have made some interior and electrical modifications to the car and also use it to promote my business in automotive competitions. I have the car registered to enter the Auto Salon show taking place in Sydney on November 20-21st. Taking the car to Eastern Creek Raceway is another place I take the car to promote my business as there are many car enthusiasts looking for workers. The car is in no way performance modified only aesthetically. I focus on interior, GPS, reverse cameras and sound nothing mechanically.

I need the car mainly during business hours to travel from job to job but will also be travelling on weekends to promote my car/business and gain work at Eastern Creek Raceway and other Auto events. The ABN number for the business is ******** and can be cross checked with the Australian Taxation Office. The business name is "**********"

The car is registered in my name, I am self employed now and I need to use the nominated prohibited vehicle for work. Without the means of vehicle transport and use of advertisement provided by the car I would be left unable to work and provide for myself as I am still attending university full time in the evenings.

Regards ************

The car is a 2004 350gt skyline, V6 (non turbo)

Not that i don't hope you get your exception, they are nice cars but coming from a long line of real estate agents in the family (thank god im not one)... this inst really a real-estate agents car.

So impractical. Don't use this as your excuse

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
