well considering nearly every low powered car these days is turbo charged, this rule was brought in at exactlly the wrong time.

SO I can drive a 200+kw XR6 or SV6

but not a 1L 90 kw fiesta...

or say ANY Volvo on market today as that would not be safe...

yes I know these cars started getting exceptions but they had to modify build plates and such which is such a joke.

the P plate laws never affected me, (obviously) but damn they were the biggest pile of turd the vic gov ever created.

On a semi related note

Need to concentrate on education rather than speed kills

Saw this on bookface yesterday

The types of p-platers that are dickheads on the road are going to go fast and crash no matter what the car. Restricting them won't do anything, they will still do the same thing in a 4cl Camry.

It will stop some crashing.

Go drive a 300kw skyline and tell me that won't increase your chances if losing it

Definitely more tempting to speed in a skyline than it is in a plain Jane car.

Look at all my traffic light Grand Prixes...wouldn't happen if I had a slow car / maturity,

I find that I accelerate harder in the skyline (pedal percentage) than I do in my families cars (Liberty and Mazda 6 and VE Wagon), yet I find that I speed more in their cars for some reason :|

I find it's easier to subconsciously speed in the slower/more comfortable cars because you feel like you're going slower.
It's definitely easier to consciously speed in the skyline though :P

can still do that now in the Golf R32's. most are P-plater owned now.

vr6 engine sounds tits though

an acquaintance of mine had one. but still $$ for most p platers i'd say... especially if they're still studying / don't have parental handouts

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
