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.

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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
