Hey guys, I'm a p plater from Tas.

I own a 300zx twin turbo, my state has no restrictions regarding turbo cars.

I'm moving to nsw but I wanna keep my car and bring it up. If I keep tas plate and tas licence until I'm off my p's, are there any legalities I should be aware of? I can understand the cops will probably pull me over either way, being a p plater and driving my car (cop magnet) I'd just like to know if there's any grounds for them to fine me or if its illegal for me to drive my car up there?

Cheers, JJ.

I'm not permitted to recommend doing anything illegal; and I believe that if you're living in NSW after moving from interstate, you have a time limit (possibly a month) to re-register your car with NSW plates.

But if we're talking semantics, I think that if you were pulled over by the police 4 times for 4 checks, you'd probably get a warning 4 times.

You never moved to NSW, you are in NSW visiting friends.

I know people from VIC who have driven around in NSW for years without changing their license or rego. Hell they even got their rego stickers sent to their NSW residence.

Also with TAS plates they will leave you alone unless you do really stupid shit.

I was once told by a college that cops tried to defect him for something that was legal in another state and as the cops were about to hand out the notice, he objected on the grounds that he had QLD plates and nothing happened.

You only have to adhere to the license restrictions that apply to your license in the state it was issued. i.e. if you can drive a turbo car in TAS on a TAS license, you can drive a turbo car in NSW on a TAS license. You can even have the car rego'd in NSW and it will be legal.

everyone here seems pretty sure so im a bit unsure now.

but as far as i know, im almost certain that p-platers in the ACT can drive turbo. however, once they enter into NSW they have to abide by NSW laws due to the jurisdiction. Similar to the fact that gay marriage may be accepted in a certain country but wont be recognised in a country that doesn't have the law.

So im gonna have to disagree with what is being said here, if the cop really wants to im pretty sure that they can fine you in NSW for not abiding by their P plater rules.

someone correct me if im wrong though.

I live in ACT. This is wrong. What Wedge has said above is correct. I was driving turbo on my p's including trips in sydney and had no issues at all Edited by dontyellpl0x

secondary schools tell you this??

BOT - why risk it?

2 reason

1. NSW roads aren't good for a 4x4 let along a sports car

2. NSW cops are f**ked and will do what ever they can to screw you over - the problem is, they can screw you even if you're not wrong. Then its up to you to clear your name

I'd leave the car in tas and buy a leaf. they can go 10% slower than the speed limit which is the current 'cool thing to do' in Sydney.

legally, you are expected to abide by the ban list. But I see plenty of P plates in banned cars in Sydney.

if you keep tas license and rego, you shouldnt have any problems.

if you came here on vacation, are you expected to buy another car solely for that purpose?

no.

so long as you adhere to your states licence provisions, you should be fine.

Thanks.

Sound advice there. :)

Yeah makes perfect sense.

I'm joining the RAAF in July and my training is in nsw for 21 months approximately, not moving permanently at this stage.

Uh - I have a W.A licence and had my licence suspended for three months thanks to my first skyline, being turbo in NSW, and even though I objected being that I had a W.A licence, I still got the suspension, fine, then he proceeded to defect me because I was being "uncooperative"

So I dunno how it works.
But there are ways around it I'd assume.

But I got butt rumped hard.

If your home address is in TAS, and you are required to move to NSW part time for Army, Navy or Air force, you essentially have an exemption right there mate.

Your job required you live on site.
You don't need to change your plates or licence being you don't formally live in NSW.
That is if you are on base or in Defence Housing.

its quite easy for you to get out of your above suspension. The restrictions are placed on a specific license the same as a things like requiring glasses are.

Your license had no turbo restriction on it.

Sounds like you may have not communicated with the police officer in a nice enough manner/were doing something else apart from "just driving".

Thanks.

I think there are actually different rules for military personnel when it comes to moving and re registering their cars etc (in that you don't have to change every time you're posted) so double check that one but I think leaving it set to your home state would be ok.

Yea okay, that makes sense Kat.

Il follow it up with my case manager though to make sure.

I'm staying with my dad for a few weeks before I enlist, he lives in nords wharf on Lake Macquarie, bout half hour depending on traffic out of Newcastle. I wouldn't mind coming out to a meet or two if there's anything going on up this way??

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
