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

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
