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".

I do not hoon.

I do not drive irresponsibly due to being in several car crashes when I was young.

I was doing the limit, random RBT, I was completely cooperative, when the cops started trying to defect my car and I provided engineers reports, they started going ape shit at me saying I was being un cooperative and producing false evidence.

Thus fined me taking no regard for my licence or car.

You reckon 9 points even on a turbo on NSW p's is a legit fine?

I don't.

Last I saw it was 3 and 3 month suspension.

Either way, I wouldn't have won in court due to the cops standing between me and the cruiser, thus no legitimate footage backing my side up.

He was whinging about how he could be home with his kids instead of defecting "hoons" who were driving in rather decent traffic and had stayed in the same lane for 20 minutes.

Said my car was against NSW regulations, etc, even though it was engineered in NSW.

Tried to defect on height, wheel width, minor rust, slightly loose wing mirror, damaged window seals and a "dim" number plate light.

I was in the right and have done everything right by the NSW and W.A police force.

I got boned by an angry cop and was told not to pursue it by multiple lawyers.

I got hit with a 2000+ dollar fine list.

And as I had a NSW address the RTA issued me the points even though I had obtained my licence in W.A and had only changed my mailing address to NSW, not home address.

Actually in NSW I thought it was something high like 7 or 8 points with the ability to dish out a point or 2 for defects as well?

On one of those police shows last night a motorbike rider on his P's got done at least 6 points for riding a bigger bike than his license allowed.

Something really isn't adding up with your story if you do in fact have a WA license.

I am calling the RTA today to have them explain to me about why I got the points. I understand the fine side of things even though thats a friggin jip. I wanna know why I got butt humped. Ive never driven like a tool. I spend money on my cars. Im even to scared to hit the track because of the Money involved.

I dont think anything can be done now. But Id lik to know what was going on. Ages ago now. Going for my greens here in NSW in the next two weeks, which means no turbos for me, already got an NA scooby anyway. Finally physically moved here a month and a half ago, so not going to drive anything more powerful than my scoobaru for the next two years. :-\ my story is all true. I really need a permanent dash cam from now on.

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.

Its actually 3 months for both the licence and the registration

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.

Sure, it may fool a lazy copper, but there are too many available databases for police to check your movements. Banks, rental bond, phone etc etc. Its a short amount of time back at the station to get all the information they need. The vic rego thing is an anomaly with vicroads allowing them to be mailed to NSW residents.

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.

Correct. Your licence conditions are what count. Tas licence safe. NSW licence not safe.

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.

      It ended up being that orientation of the float hub in relation to the clutch disk, when I installed it, I heard a loud click and being stupid, I decided to not take it a part and check it. The hub didn't properly align with the clutch disk and was causing the issue. Definitely an odd one! Dahtone Racing was able to fix me right up, stand up blokes!

      Right, but I'm saying on the stock ECU measured airmass from the MAF is no higher than stock. So it's accounting for the higher flow rate iso-manifold pressure. You just have to keep turning down the boost until you're within the stock tune's load scale. If you run off the end there's no telling what will happen. This does mean there's zero benefit to the turbos you're running vs stock, if anything it's just a straight downgrade because the transient response is worse, you don't even get the ECU's boost solenoid helping to pull the wastegate closed during initial spool, and peak power is only whatever the factory map can give you before you hit the R&R corner. On a -9 I would bet that you would have to change out the wastegate spring once you have a real ECU and you're tuning it for real. I'm not saying this is a remotely ideal state of affairs, it's just a way to keep it driveable until you can get a proper tune done.
