Not sure if this has been posted, i havent seen a thread on this yet. basically, the RTA site now has a list of cars that cannot be driven whilst on P1-P2. plus in addition to turbo and SC cars, HIGH PERFORMANCE NA vehicle such as 350Z, BMW Z3 etc cannot be driven whilst on P1-P2. also to note, the list will be updated regularly.

anywayz, go check it out. very interesting.

ohh, theres also exemptions for "low" performance "family" turbo cars. what da hell is a low performance family turbo car ? dont tell me its that boxy 0.8L turbo car ? :whatsthat

hahaha they have some really slow stock cars on there i dont know what these ppl are thinking when they made up that list, 800cc charde Turbo, I know that when worked they go hard but not stock, that jsut one example

dont worry found it

these are the rules

(note..these are for NEW P1 and P2 drivers not existing)

and the list

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downlo...itions_dl1.html

basically all imports!!!

You'll notice that they want to add to the list later, etc. So what happens if you buy a car that wasn't banned until after the purchase date?

I notice that the brand new 500hp BMW M5 is not on the list. Its not a V8, and its not a turbo. Same with the Dodge Viper. The S2000 is also not banned. An old Charger is still perfectly legal, and that used to be the quickest car in Australia (and will still give quite a few modern sports cars a run for their money in a straight line, while probably ending up as an oversized tree decoration should you hit a bend at speed).

Go figure.

Guess what skyline isnt on the list........................... R33 GTR 4Door

Ahhh yes it is.....

right under the 2 doors it has 4 doors.

Jesus bloody christ!

That list is huge..... but some insane things that are on the list are Landcruisers...... simply because they're V8's.

My god! I'd like to see any kid try and kill him/herself in a ****ing cruiser!!

It's a boat dammit!

No mention of sprinters or MR2's with a supercharged engine though. So this means all you good little P platers can now buy big on hachis and do engine conversions. Hell, it's not that hard, I've done it :cheers:

lol I'm so pissed at the RTa right now Owning a car doesn't get u outa the law they say Nah it just gets me owing a lotta money and not being able to use the ****en Thing Dam Goverment so lost my vote when i can

I wanta sue them can they really do that to me i have car b4 law now i have to follow Law due to it saying a lot of shit

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
