Farkem, just get it if you want it. I have no idea why the law is in place anyway.

I would suggest doing an advanced driving course in it if you do buy, they are very tail happy in the wet.

It's not about haters. It's about preventing young drivers from hurting and killing themselves or other people.

The p plate restrictions did reduce the death tolls. People do stupid shit in their cars when they are young. It's a fact you will do it. It's much safer if you end up doing it in a Nugget because in the longer time it takes to reach 100 hopefully you end up thinking twice. And it helps if dad's camry can't do skids.

No hate. Just valuing life and respecting the road rules.

Fark never new so many haters on this website. Relax dudes... i'm not gonna be buying one, but as i might be swapping my car and could get a good deal with one, might sell it and buy something else for myself.

rather be called a hater than find a news story with a V35 wrapped around a tree

I don't think it's the 200kw limit, its the power to weight ratio. A series 2 M35 is p plate legal, as it's not mentioned in the RTA prohibited vehicle list.

An SV6 wagon isn't restricted nor is the sedan they are 210kw?

What Scott said farkem, no one can stop you buying what you wanna buy. One thing I can give advise on if you do end up buying it, make sure you get in writing that any insurance you take will cover any driver that drives the car.

I think it depends on the state too. In Qld, it is just a power limit (210kw), but if you want to apply for an exemption, then they use the power to weight figure to determine if the car is eligible for exemption.

Fortunatly for Qld P platers, the 350GT comes in under the 210kw limit, because it doesn't pass the power to weight figure..

I owned my V35 Coupe for over a year on my green P's (21 y/o) and got pulled over several times by police with no issues. Last time i checked QLD transport website says it's unclassified so it's not banned just yet.

Not all P platers drive like tools, it's the minority that makes the rest of us look bad. Much like this "hoon" saga going around the internet.

I was always a safe driver in my coupe because i was too scared to damage something i loved.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
