Seriously though, the laws are the laws. If she's able to drive them on the new laws, what's stopping her? Why does it matter if others are doing it? (which I'm absolutely certain there are dozens at least in brisbane)

I would suggest she waits and saves up her money so she can get one when she comes out of her P's and then will have some cash to chuck some mods on it. The issue of just doing it is that you will have NO insurance, not even CTP, and you can be up for serious amounts of money.

If you hold a P1 or P2 licence you may be eligible for a certificate of exemption to enable you to drive a high-powered vehicle.

You may apply for a certificate of exemption if the vehicle you wish to drive meets all of the following:

  • has a turbocharged or supercharged engine that is not diesel powered
  • has a power-to-weight ratio of not more than 125kW/t
  • does not have any other features of a high-powered vehicle as outlined below.
  • an engine that has a power output of more than 210kW as per the manufacturer's specification
  • a modified engine that must be approved under section 13

The power-to-weight ratio means the ratio (expressed in kilowatts per tonne) calculated by dividing the car’s maximum engine power in kilowatts by the kerb weight and multiplying the product of the division by 1000. For example, the power to weight ratio of a vehicle that has a maximum engine power of 195kW and a kerb weight of 1667kg would be calculated as follows: (195÷1667) × 1000 = 117kW/tonne

Has anyone tryed this on here and have any info on how they went about it?

^This,

I would apply for the exemption first as the way it is written does not imply or state that you can drive one of the below vehicles but that you may apply for an exemption to do so.

I have seen a few threads on boost about it, its seems to be a bit if stuffing round. The 33 GTST is 128.6 kW/T and the 32 is 123 kW/T (just by some quick stats on the net). Give it a try mate but there must be a reason you don't see many P platers driving turbos on this exemption.

Just wait. I mean why bother now when you can go nuts in 8 months and get whatever you want without having to go through all the crap

The laws are there for a reason. Not just to piss people off

It would be advisable to wait the 8 months. Insurance will rip you a new one and it will give you more time to suss out the market. Most decent sports cars are less than 1.5t which means that you'd only have a vehicle that produces less than 187.5kw...

hey, R32's only produce less than 187kw!

Yes, R32's are P plate legal under the law changes, and there are P platers driving around on them. For the low powered exemptions you no longer need a reason, unlike the work exemptions etc from before.

So, if she really, really likes r32's, just buy one. if she'd rather a r33 or a silvia or something else over the limit, the choice is obvious, wait 8 months because she can't legally drive it yet.

edit: i see that you already own a r32. she could apply for an exemption and drive that, for example, providing it isn't modified to some extent...

Yer had my 32 about 7 years now, but its been moded most the time it runs a t70 lol

Just so you guys know im not trying to get my red p plate 17 year old misses into a skyline she's 22 and been driving my car for years.

We are only trying this because her magna is on its last legs and i dont know if it will hold on for 8 months.

Well, like i said, any car with less power to weight than 125, and less than 210kw total qualifies. So r33's are not possible. R32's are. Silvia's aren't. Other cars? i don't know, you probably need to go find otu their specs and calculate the ratio on them.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
