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?

i have recently been driving my skyline r33 and was pulled over by the cops because i am a p-plater. they said that my car was over powered as i live in melbourne. does anyone know how i can overcome this problem to be able to keep on driving it?

get older, and one day if you're lucky, you'll reach 26 like me.

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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
