To my understanding 130kw per tonne is the law. Doesn't matter if turbo or n/a.

Making the S15 Autech the best p/w ratio followed by Supra SZ and then the R33 GTS.

My friend said he has a turbo s15 aus spec. which I assume is over p/w and illegal.
I currently have r33 but I'm looking to buy the s15 autech because it's newer and cleaner. I'm on my L's atm so the new laws apply to me. (not allowed a s2k).

Cheers. (sorry if this topic has been posted before, I couldn't find specific to nsw on these cars)

Okay so I found a website that is exactly what I was looking for.
Under new laws of August 2014 in NSW

This just saved me buying a n/a s15 when I can buy a turbo s15 Spec R. :D

Even the Spec R 200SX is legal. I'm guessing that's the best P plater car.

Legal ; S15 200SX Spec R (Turbo), s15 200sx Spec S (Turbo), S S15 Autech (N/a), R33 GTS, Supra SZ

Banned; S2000, R33 GTST, WRX, Supra RZ

If anyone want to add to this list go ahead!

The best P plate car is not the one with the most power, so that you can introduce the rear of it to every gutter and front yard of every home in your street; as you live out your initial D fantasies, with your lowest common denominator skillset.

The best P plate car is the one that allows you to get off your P's with your license intact, you and your mates all still alive, and with the bare minimum of accidents due to aforementioned lack of skills.

Get something cheap, light, moderately powered and fun to drive, then spend some money actually LEARNING how to drive properly on track, so that you can make the most of a decent car; once you have matured a little and learned how to properly assess and manage risk, and the pressure of your peers.

You don't want the first mistake you make (and I promise, you will), to be your last.

I agree with the above I had an impreza on my p's and then a ke70 for my final year of my p's and then on my opens I bought my skyline. When you first get your license you do stupid things every one does.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
