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.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
