If you do not have an exemption and driving on your Ps with a GTR. You're not covered.

As to vicroads, you are driving the car illegally. The insurance may allow you to drive it, but once you crash or claim something, they'll find every reason not to accept your claim.

I could insure a lambo under my name on red Ps and they'll still accept my payment. I signed to have the car covered as long as the car is been driven legally.

My insurer put an underwriting comment on my policy to state I am covered in the event of an at fault claim. So if it doesn't hold up in court then I guess Im screwed lol. But according to the legal team at the insurance company i work for, I should be fine.

And going back to the ball size lol, you can't compare a 3k vl to a 34gtr on p plates.

Yeah well "should be fine" is all good and well until it comes time to claim, best of luck for you if/when you do but don't take any chances that could end up in you having to claim. I think you're completely wrong in the ball size, if you're not covered and you hit a brand new BMW or Mercedes, who the **** cares if you're driving a 3 grand turbo or a 60 grand turbo, at the end of the day if you're denied you will still be paying $100k + out of your own pocket so it's got nothing to do with the cost of the turbo car you drive and in fact the brains of the driver who is illegally driving.

Sounds like you've done your homework, which is at least more than the average turbocharged driving P plater does. I'd want that underwriting to be very specific with regard to being on your P plates and driving high powered vehicles though, because unless you have an exemption it is of course being driven illegally.

And yes, OP, an R34 GT would be an ideal car for you...just don't spend too much on it, that's what I'm getting at. Because you WILL want a different car when you are off your P plates and you WILL wish you hadn't cashed up on your first car. Stereo, exhaust, wheels - fine...they are transferrable car to car. But don't do much more than that or you'll probably be sorry later on!

maza 1993, buy a nice clean p plate legal car for he road on your p's, and use the rest to finance a track car. On the track you can drive anything on your p's and thrash it as much as you want in a safe environment. Assuming the reason you want a turbo is to accelerate quickly and have some fun.

The best first car is a shot box. Too many times do I drive around seeing a *cough* young hotty in mummies BMW/merc and I just cringe to think how much it would be to repair one of those when and I repeat when a p plater has an accident.

I had a barina as my first car and nicked a lot of things and the beauty of it was when I locked the keys in it I pried the door open and got them back haha. Not many cars will let you do that.

Get a shit box until you know how to drive!

My parents actually want me to get a BMW, and I'm actually a pretty good driver which is why my parents want me to get one.

Yea, I love to speed and shit, but I know when to do it.

I want a nice first car haha :P

Thats cool man. Just remember that shit happens, and the learning curve can be quite steep sometimes when youre driving unaccompanied/tired/frustrated, these things add to learning how to drive in different emotional states or the weather conditions.

Hate how everyone assumes it's mummy/daddys cr suppose they just never worked hard I had good cars young paid every cent

thumbsup.gif right on bro. How much was youre first car? What job did you have to earn that car? Did you pay it outright?

And if youre trying to tell me that those little princesses I see in the 2010 2011 BMW 123's 320's on their red p's bought that car themself then I find that very very hard to believe.

Very hard rofl.gif

I had a 33 when they where 20k+ stock as which I did up, then a 40k accord euro which I did up and I moved onto my Lexus and I also have my current 33 for a hobby cars aren't expensive especially if your living at home

Ive been on 6 figures since 20

Yeh plenty of jobs. Not many offering a job to a 20 year old with I dont know what qualification for a 6 figure salary.

A bit fishy.

Good luck with youre search OP. All in all, Id get a cheap car. But seeing as youre parents are funding you, well then I cant relate because I wasnt so lucky.

Your loss mate look outside the square plenty of people doing it

The whole Aussie philosophy is backwards give our worst least experienced drivers the most unsafe crappest car if I had kids I'd buy em the best I could afford with safety features

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
