overpowered bullshit, there is no law regarding how powerful a l or p platers car can be. If you were lucky enough an L plater could drive around in marios GTR700 with 1500hp...mmmmmmm. There was talk of a new law coming in but how are they going to police it? no way. Maybe say no L plater can drive a v8 or maybe a turbocharged car, but then just build a mad per port 13b?

rofl rb25.

I didn't realise there were any laws but in theory I guess you could

a. pretend its a non turbz.

b. pay engineer for a restrictor of some sort to limit the power and get it certified.

God knows how you'd get option b working - ask the RTA or whoever that is in your state.

Also look into getting a residential address in NSW and getting a NSW license.

This would only work if the law is that noone licensed in VIC etc... whereas if it's just a law in regards to license classes then .... *shrug*

I'm glad I'm not on my p's .... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

... ok sorry i do feel ur pain...

the law works differently for v8s and turbos

for a v8 a p plater isnt allowed more tha 125rwkw per ton of vehicle.

for a turbo car it works in literage of the eninges capacity as the kw's can easily be adjusted by boost. u are allowed 2.5liter per ton of vehicle.

i was told this by a victorian tmu officer when he was defecting my car!

in on my p's with a r33 gts-t aswell mate and i havnt had one bit of attention from the cops yet in melbourne. but i mean if i started to get hassled i was thinking of selling the car and moving to a heavily modded r32 or a wrx.

how would that make a difference? They're still more than the power/weight limit...

Well the new law in sydney , you cant drive past 10pm or a high powered vehicle if your a p plater.

i knew about the curfew their trying to get in sydney which hasn't been finalised yet, but haven't heard of power restrictions for p platers, has ne1 else heard of this, or did u make that up?

because owning a r32 gtr may become a problem if thats true, seeing i've got a year left on my greens

    • I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.   
    • To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.
    • Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
