Hi, i just got in Perth for about 2 weeks now. I bought my skyline three days ago. Im wondering. Is there a safe place to speed my car in a safe and legal place around here? I wanna feel its potential but im a bit worried with the laws here because it seems strict round here.

Some help would be nice, thanks in advance.

true that

watch out for the freeways, especially when the bus lanes meet cos my mate got done there, was ripping it and the cop was hiding behind those barricades that separate the bus lane from the actual freeway... think it was near the mt henry bridge or something... cheeky buggers...

Believe me mate the laws over here arent as strict as say they are over east. Find a nice car cruise to go on and hammer down the freeway with 40 other cars doing the same speed as you want to go. Either that or go on the freeway or highways around Perth at about 3am in the morning and there will be basically no one around. If you don't like taking risks there always the option of drag racing at kwinana which I believe has now been moved to Sunday racing

I didnt actually think there was anyone thick enough to make a comment like this

ah well, live and learn.

runn3r, keep it on the track or strip, you wont have to worry about loosing your car, your life or killing anyone else. The plex, ahg or wanneroo.

If you go to a track, its a safe environment where you dont have to worry (as much) about the many, many variables that can ruin your day/week/month/year/life.

Hehe, well, i dont know much about Perth and thats why i thought it would be a good idea to ask the people around! Neway, thanks for all the good advice. Really appreciate them. Problem was that back in my country, i usually drive my car at around 140km/h and the car i was driving was not even a sports car. I have a few friends who drives an RX7 and Evo4s and people there find it very normal but yeah, right now, im in Perth, and i dont wanna break the law because from what i heard, there are plenty of hidden cams around here.

Was hoping maybe i could test drive out my new toy and yeah, do it for free and legally without hurting other people. I heard that there is this are where people meet up nearby the desert and test out their cars? Is that true?

East Malaysia. Only problem was that cars are very expensive compare to Australia (Meaning that the price of cars here is 3x more expensive than the original price here, 2nd road condition isnt that good in some areas not unless you race on the highway during weekends.

I wonder if there is such place in this are.

there is a place, its called the Northern Territory, abbreviated to NT - and alot of it is desert.  Its not in this state, they (NT) have no speed limits on some roads.

In WA - to be legal (and safe) keep it on a track, sorry to bring the bad news :)

How far is NT really? Im very new here. Just lived here bout 3weeks.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
