I'm in Victoria, fell in love with stageas and found a cheap one and was reallly bored of.my commonwhore so I sold it and bought the stag.

I've been knocked back before for the exemption but they said it was because they didn't have any info on the car to see power to weight. And I have put too much time and money to just sell it

How much longer do you have to wait for your full license?

What was the fine for driving a non-approved vehicle? What are the repercussions if you are involved in an accident?

These things could potentially cost you a LOT of money in the right situation.

I've been done for 5 times, Its not too bad in Vic. Go to EPC center in Mcloryd. Put factory dump pipe and exhaust back on and make your engine bay looking standard. They will do a emission and noise test and it will be ok.

I'm on my 3rd year of p's so I have 2 years left. not trying to say I'm a perfect driver or anything but I'm not a dick head on the road so major accident with hooning and speeding will not be my fault.

What did you get done for stao?

Seriously considering swapping the for an n/a Silvia now haha. Really not worth the trouble getting in the bad books with the police

Buy a $1000 shitbox and dereg the stag for two years. When you are on open re register it.

I'm moving house soon (still live at home) and where I'm moving is a 1 car garage and I don't want the only spot taken up by my stag. I'd rather at least sell it to another enthusiast than let it gather dust

I fell inlove with the GTR when i was 8. I didn't go and buy it when i was on my P's. What a stupid thing to do.

Amen. I waited until I was 22 and financially stable to buy it.

At the end of the day; The exemption system is designed to aid those who would face severe HARDSHIP by not driving said car and have absolutely no other options.

Claiming ignorance and buying a car you can't drive and then applying for an exemption based on the fact you've now bought it won't fly.

I'm trying to get an exemption because of the fact I like the car and it's under power to weight, slower than my old commodore as well. good on you guys for holding off and buying mad cars at the appropriate time, it's obviously worth it and saves a lot of trouble.

stagea is now my daily to and from work and my girlfriends ignis is now what goes to car shows and meets with me..

With the exeption of a stagea cruise

I'm on my P's, because I've only had my license for three months or so with an Auto restriction (stupid move, regretting it now). I just bought a 25GT Auto, and have noticed it's a lot thirstier than my 31 was (perhaps it was my non-functional fuel gauge). I still have a while to go on my P's but will drive the 25GT for the remainder of this time and buy a turbo manual vehicle. Maybe not even a skyline, I don't know yet and am not overly concerned about such trivial future things.

fault is a funny thing when it comes down to driving a car that your not allowed to be driving. if your going against the conditions of a licence and end up in an accident then you can be held at fault for it even when you didnt cause it, as your shouldnt of been in that situation.

I guess there's no way around that one, even if I don't cause it or the car doesn't me driving the car will still be to blame in one way or another.

Time to keep driving like a granny and just hope for the best

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
