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.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
