First Car, First Skyline

[johnny_boi85]

i just bought my first skyline to but not my first car. I live in NSW and am on my Green Ps but atm the car is unregister so there is no temptation to drive it and lose my licence. i dont think you will get exampt. how long do you have to go till you get your open licence?

[mystery_kid]

So what are the rules with getting an exemption?

Is the standard rule for kw/t less than 130 but you can get an exemption up to 130 kw/t for whatever reason?

[cowdy]

i know people may think that and im not going to try change it i will accept it and leave it as that, yes i may drive silly at times, but the risk of losing my exemption or licence that i need both for work for is to much so i do the right thing pretty much all the time.

im on my reds and go to first year of greens in September, so a long way yet

its 125kw/t

all the rules im talking about is in queensland.

[mystery_kid]

you won't get the exemption because they won't accept a dyno read out as the power figure

anyone could go and get their car detuned to a low dyno read out to send in with their exemption application and then head back down to the tuners the next day and get it tune back to 200rwkw.... have you considered this ?

[alex182]

as above, i have my doubts about you getting an exemption. let us know how it goes though.

many have tried to thwart the system, none have. I spent quite a lot of time back in my early P plate period trying to find a loophole in the system.

"no vehicles over 6 cylinders" - "but sir! rotaries don't have cylinders"

you just have to deal

You won't be granted an exemption, so I have no idea why you keep thinking you will.

im just going to try, all a guy can do is dream.

with my car being a 1994 and having the hicas does that make it the 1.5ser because i heard somewhere the 1ser didnt have the hicas

[mad082]

94 is series 1. 95 is generally series 1.5 (although there isn't officially any such thing as a series 1.5, just late model series 1 with differences to early series 1)

[cowdy]

Thanks

Is there any other difference with the 94?

One of my grandfathers coworkers is a skyline nut. And says that a good mod for me to do would be upgrade the front hubs to r33 gtr hubs (hubs rotors and everything) he said the reason for this is to go from 4 pot calipers to 6 pot

Would this be worth the effort?

[Got a Pulsar]

Just get new pads, if needed get new discs but getting GTR brakes is not necessary as you won't be doing any silly driving will you?

Standard brakes will be fine.

[cowdy]

No silly driving just my grandparents are all anal about saftey in cars like breaks and tyers

They said they wanted me having bigger breaks and slotted and drilled on the car I said I will just get slotted rotors and new pads to fit what's on there.

Skyline nut that thinks the factory Brembo's are 6-pot, good stuff

[cowdy]

That's what I though. I was like they are nissan brembo. Why change them

Your current brakes are not brembo...

[TTT]

[TTR34]

This thread hurt to read.....

[alex182]

[mystery_kid]

i'd stop talk to all these people that don't have a clue ie. your grant parents and whoever is telling you about this exemption

[cowdy]
