is it jst me, or does that list make as much sense as anything else the government do lol.

oh and the comment up there ^^ about mummy n daddy payin for it.... no offence dude but thats a lil unfair, i only have a 33 gts-t n people assume that and it pisses me off, dont be quick 2 generalise :P:)

Anyone else notice a vehicle that is missing? Look at my sig. Single turbo and quite capable of 500+ bhp. When RACV insured mine, they had no idea what it was and classed it as a Ford Sedan and I paid $1000 fully comp to insure it.

Having said that, P platers and a lack of turbo is a good idea IMO.

Dont think it covered the R34 GTR Nismo Z-Tune. I was luck in a way with p's as i got them 2 weeks b4 the 3 year crap came in.

Does this list mean they can't drive it, or own it? Both i guess

how are they going to police this ?

Simple. Pull over any p plater that has a car that could possibly be modified or on the list. (note that you can't drive ANY modified car under the new rules..it's not just fast cars banned) With a bit of luck this will get rid of those annoying fart exhausts.

Unfortunatly for the next 3 years there will still be p platers that can legally have the cars, so they better carry rules with them

There are quite a few cars missing I'm sure but you'll note-

Prohibited vehicle condition

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain vehicles while on their provisional licence.

Prohibited vehicles are those with:

   *

     Eight or more cylinders.

   *

     A turbocharged engine (diesel exempt).

   *

     A supercharged engine (diesel exempt).

   *

     Engine performance modifications.

   *

     High performance six cylinder engines.

A list of prohibited vehicles is available to view and download from the box at the bottom of this page.

Please note: the list will be updated as required.

No more m3's and gt3rs as I thought would be the case initially :)

Also the fart exhausts might not be considered "engine mods" but "exhaust mods".

Silly implementation of a valid idea. But what else would you expect from the NSW Govt. and RTA??? :)

Looks like they got the work experience kid and a level 19 clerk to figure it out during their lunch break. Seriously how hard could it be to go through every model of car registered in NSW and filter out the obviously non-performance models?

Counts out several models of Merc, Saab, Volvo etc. that are by no means a performance car.

Bob Carrs report card: "Sets a low standard and consistently fails to achieve it"

bah!

Looks like im gonna have a sh|tfight on my hands for the next 6 or so months until i get off my P's

great :stupid:

Shouldve gotten them earlier when i had the chance ;)

Tell me again why they can't compile a banned car list based on power to weight? I seems that would make much more sense than this system. It may be a little more difficult to compile a list of cars and their power to weight ratios initially, but surely it would be alot easier to police in the long run?? As I mentioned earlier, a Holden HK Brougham with a 253 in it is going to have a vastly different power to weight ratio compared to an Integra Type R. As SW20-GT mentioned, you can still do a hell of alota damage in the family wagon.

Dimwits who want to speed and act anti-socially in their cars are still going to do so. They will be just doing it in cars with crap brakes.

Thats my opinion anyway. (Be it right or wrong!)

power to wieght makes more sense.

Problem is policing it. If they say "any modified car" it is very broad, and can get someone with any modified car, plus the cars on the list (which would have been determined i assume by power to wieght.

The problem would be that if they came across a car that they thought was above the power to wieght, they would need to send you to a dyno to find out if they are right. This way they just get you if it has mods.

Time for the rise of the sleepers!

I'm thinking an SW-20 N/A with huge camms and quad throttles. perhaps a stroker if i can find one and raise the compression through the roof. i'd like to see them pull down the engine to charge the driver with driving a modded vehicle! Oh, and your still allowed to strip the interior and add light weight wheels etc.

Welcome to the new scene people! Gone is the flashy BOV days, hello street sleeper weapon days. and i'm all for it! Nice breath fo fresh air if you ask me.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
