Guys,

The last I heard of this rule, it was coming in next year and would affect Red P Plate holders. Can anyone tell me where this rule stands at the moment? Still comin in?

I think... if you already have your p's yoru safe you can do whatever the **** you want as the rule wasnt in when you got your licence.

it only applies for new people who get their p's

haha phewf im on my greens and im about to lay 8grand down on engine mods ;)

Good luck, just remember dont get your licence removed.

Oh and good luck to people trying to book a rta to do a Ps test ;)

Hmm, I still really don't think limiting power is going to fix much problems.

personally I prefer harsher punishment.

I just had an example last night getting home from work, going 90 in james russe when a P plated nissan pulsar was zooming in and out of traffic as around 140. and a pulsar will be within any restrictions they plan to impose.

how are they going to police this

"P1 and P2 licence holders will be banned from driving turbo-charged, super-charged vehicles (diesel vehicles excepted), eight-cylinder vehicles and those with engine performance modifications."

how is Mr. Policeman going to know if my excel has extractors or not just by me driving past?

lol

its more a deterent to people thinking about buying a tubo or v8 car etc.

like how many of the victorian guys under 21 (on p-plates) driving 33's and 34's have copped the $107 fine for being over the power to weight limit

....not many

there are to many variations in cars for the police to be able to properly patrol it.. they might at first, but they will get sick of just looking out for cars over the limit as well as catching people for speeding.....

there are heaps of turbo, supercharged, and v8 cars that arnt allowed to drive

and what about skylines, your average cop couldnt tell if it is turbo or non-turbo just by looking at the outside

i'd be very interested to see how well inforced this is

-Ruffels

If they wanted to be pedantic, an exhaust change is an engine performance modication (yes, it changes it slightly), so they pull you over for that, then look under the bonnet... that shiny exhaust may undo some people.

... and don't think for a second that a cop doesn't know what to look for. All they need is an afternoon with the mechanics and they'll be set.

Love it or hate it, it's the best compromise there is and it's here to stay. I know, no matter what d|ckheads will always drive like d|ckheads. Either in a 1000000000hp GTR, to a Abrahams M1 tank (ok gone too far....), to a Honda City, they will always be dangerous. But fact remains that they're more of a danger to the public in a GTR than in a Honda City.

The worst outcome for future generations getting their P plates is the gov't RAISING the age to get your P plates. Just thank God they never did that. And who cares what you drive. Just be happy your driving. It beats the train and bus! I drove mom and dad's car until a year AFTER I got off my P plates. Does the car you drive really mean so much to your status among your peers?

i hate the media. 'Victory' ?!?!?! was it a war? for gods sake. there have been less people dying this way than there used to be. you can still die in a barina. when will they get this? This is an issue that is here to stay, wheter people like it or not. it will happen.

I dont know if any of you have been watching the news but the NSW communist government has decided to implement a ban on p plate drivers both P1 and P2 on have what they call cars with souped up engines. Now heres the good part our beloved skylines fall smack bang into this catagory.

Does anyone have an opinion on this or is it just me who is f#@ken chuffed at the idea that Bob Carr and Mr Micheal Costa think they have the right to restrict my quality of life or the car I choose to drive.

I mean the ammount of legislation these f@%kers have put into place already its so ludicrous. I tell you the system is stuffed and we need a change.

If anyone would like to read on this here is a link

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/NRMA-s...7910274905.html

Your comments on this issue would be much appriciated.

i totally agree,, its F**ked up

i've been working extremely hard for the past year in order to have enough money to purchase my dream car and when i finally bought one 1 month ago,,now they say i can't drive it?!!???

Was there a list of the baned cars? i only see a ban on V8s and up..according to that link

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National...7910274905.html

im 32 and live in bris, so im not to worried:)

Ickis

GL all you P platers, stage a revolt and drive your cars into Bob Carr front yard!!!

Here we go. Please make up your mind who you are upset with.

Is it the Communists (haven't seen any legislation by them of late), the Labour Party & Bob Carr or Peter Costello (He was a Lib last time I looked - I think you mean Costa or whatever his name is).

Mate, I feel for your situation but don't go getting into the party political bullshit because it doesn't help.

If you think the ultra conservatives that we have in Canberra would do different I would like to hear your reasoning.

With the aging population, they have reacted to the death toll being over-represented by P Platers. It is that simple.

El Bee

seems to be a favourite with goverments all around the country now

seen on the news tonight that the clowns over here are thinking about having some sort of tracking device fitted to what they call trouble cars eg anyone who has a car faster than theres to keep tabs on your speed and where you are

is that true

well then in that case YAY!!!

I thought they were taking the cars from everyone ... and i love my car i spend more time with it than i do my gf (and she really p@#!!*d about that too)

my bad for jumping to conclusions

still would like to hear everybodies opinion however!!!

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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
