Exemption for high power vehicle

Hey guys, not really sure if I'm posting in the right spot. But whatever, hopefully get a response. 

Im aware this topic has been talked about numerous amounts of times, however nothing really relates to my situation. 

 

I have bought an R34 GTT off my dad for super cheap, without really thinking of the turbo restrictions for P-platers. I'm aware there is a high power vehicle exemption and I was inquiring if my situation could be valid for it or if I can obtain some sort of exemption. 

I live in Townsville QLD, I am currently in the ARMY. It is the only vehicle I have, and I can't really afford to be buying random cars here and there to suit my p- plates, regardless of whether it was 500$ or $5000. It's merely to get me back and forth from work and I can't afford another car.

I live 20km away from the base and there is no public transport whatsoever. Taxis and ubers are costing me a tone as well. I already have bills to pay as well as support my family (Mrs) and this is creating extreme financial hardship. Driving would be so much easier however I believe my car is restricted because it has a turbo and 132kw to the tone. I also have to work irregular hours, and I get called in literally around the clock for rehursal and so on etc.. 

Hopefully there is a solution to my problem? 

 

Cheers fellas.

Get a bj.

Probably the best advice on this forum.

 

I doubt anyone here is going to know how your "circumstances" are going to be treated by QLD transport. Your best chance is just applying, have you read the form?

They seem to be keen on it being the only car "reasonably" available and financial hardship and lack of other transport, which you've indicated as being a problem. Get an ARMY lawyer or your boss to write a letter about your requirement and times to be at work. Spin the ownership of the car as being gifted by your dad cause you couldn't afford to buy one making it the only reasonable option. Done.

Who knows maybe they'll feel patriotic and approve it based on your dedication to protecting this country.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
