if only my dad was as cool as u, haha. :lol:

lol, what if they find the ballast ? ahh, theres soo many things i want to do, but i cant. if my car was worth only 15grand, then fair enough, worth the risk. but as the car gets into the mid 30grand, then risking becomes a problem. oh, can u take pics of your xenon from outside ? coz since u said they wouldnt notice it, i wanna know how it compares to stock(blub etc).

to be honest, i dont care if they are ADR compliant or not, but i do worry about them over insurance. how would they take it when my car gets stolen or is involved in a collision. its insurance which buggers me, lol. unless theres a way around it.

save and wait.

when i insured my car, i said i had the following items, blah blah. they said they would cover all my items listed, but i had to make sure the items are roadworthy and legal. ohhh i got a question aswell, can an "item" be legal but not roadworthy ? e.g, neon lights are legal to install but cannot be turned on in public places. how would just car deal with the situation ??

wheres the NOS ? NOS is good try racing ppl in reverse, u might win.

what a world we live in.....

oh nice . wait, i have one more question. for HID xenons to be ADR compliant, doesnt it need the headlight washers aswell ? so phillips includes the washer ? when will the group buy take place ? coz i might be interested in a kit. sorry for the stupid questions.

really ? what is different about the phillip ones ? do u have a link stating it is ADR compliant ? cheers

there were only a handful of R34s made. R34 started it's production in May 1998 and ended it's life around the '02 period. if u think about it, the r34 was only popular for 2 yrs max, mid 98 to mid 00. after this period, not many R34 was made, making it harder to source compared to R33. Remember, demands for R34 has gone up, therefore it will not be everywhere and will retain it's value well. R34 will be the big mac of all times. i mean look at it, its just beatiful. i personally prefer looks over power, i dont really care for power to a certain degree. aslong i've got enough to cruise, thats all i care. how much power do u want on the road ? this isnt autobarn. In a few yrs the G35 will be everywhere, not the R34.

if thats so, why do they let u list it as a mod ? check out just car's quote page to see what i mean.

now for the bogan video clip and the whole tmu at knox should be in it aswell, haha . also alittle bit of poptart dancing should be included :lol:

quick, find a re-spray shop. :lol:

exactly !

they did. but i got my p-plates way before the new laws were introduced. therefore it doesnt apply to me.

automatic

i get my full licence next yr. soo it should be all good. if not, im gonna go 3rd party till i can get full comp with them.

alrity, thnx for that. i havent converted my licence yet and im not going to. soo, im gonna follow your rule and let insurance know my situation. if i do have any problems, i'll leave the car bak in my home state for the time being and drive it bak up when i get my full(which isnt long, 2months max). hey funky, when u told your insurance about your situation, did they give ya VIC premiums or did they give ya your home town premiums ?

hrmmm, your first point seems abit wrong. coz, from what vicroads had told me i must obey both my licence conditions and VIC P-plater laws. now this is the funny part, im permitted to drive my GTR33 in my own state, but when i drive over to VIC i must obey their POWER to WEIGHT RATIO ??!! that doesnt make sense at all eh. its basically saying VIC laws overrides NSW laws. and i dunno what to obey, if i obey VIC's laws, then im not obeying NSW law's vise versa. ok for the insurance part. this is how im going to talk to them. im basically gonna explain my situation and tell them i'd prefer to have my car registered in my home state and that its not feasible to register the car in VIC, why ? look at my situation. if i were to register my car in VIC, yep its all good for 4months, then when i drive bak to sydney i'll go over my 3months period, in which i need to change over my rego. im not gonna change my rego 2-3 times a yr just becoz i go over the "3months" period. im sure justcar will understand. if they dont, im going over to RACV or another insurer who can cater for my needs.

yep, thats true. the GTR will be my only car, i dont have another car. i've already sold my other car. so they should give me the exemption. what am i suppose to do ? sell it ? i dont think so. i've also asked VICROADS in the past about this, and all they gave me was gibberish crap that was wrong. only yesterday have i gotten somewhere with this, btw i called up 3 times to triple check. only 2 outta the 3 calls were accurate. if i said that to them and they knew for a fact the car is over the power to weight ratio, wouldn't they reject my at fault claim ? also i'd rather my car insured in VIC coz its around $800 cheaper. sorry funkymoney, i wasnt trying to be rude. but this issue has caused me nothing but headache for the past 2 days. lets be honest here, if i lived in VIC and knew about the power ratio thingy, then i wouldnt even consider purchasing the GTR33 in the first place. the fact that i live in 2 different states and 1 state permittes me to drive provoked me to purchase it. who knew it would come to this.

it will be. its not as simple as that coz i need to drive the car bak up to Vic. The law states that i may drive the car "ASLONG" i comply with any conditions on my current licence(yep, no problems there) "AS WELL" as with "VICTORIAN PROBATIONARY LICENCE" requirements(major problem here, the car is way over the power to weight ratio). k, ill be honest. i couldnt careless about the power to weight ratio, im doing all of this in favour of insurance. i dont want to pay $3000 in premiums and later find out that they will not insure me becoz of power to weight ratio.

As you guys may know, im currently in a situation involving my car and P-plate restrictions coz i live in 2 different states. my true home allows me to drive any car i want, but in vic, they wont allow me. i called up Vicroads on tuesday and asked if i could possibly apply for an exemption for a high powered car. to be exact, the car is a R33 GTR. i currently do not own the car. im sourcing it from jap as we speak. vicroads advised me to write a letter asking for an exemption fowarded to my nearest VICROADS. k, i found this statement on the forum whilst searching for power-to-weight ratio exemptions. "Exemptions: A person is allowed to drive a high powered vehicle if: b. If you hold an exemption issued by VicRoads, but VicRoads will only grant an exemption if: • it is the only car owned by your "family" • the car is used for business as well as social use and "no other' non high powered car is owned by your "family"." what is the true definition of family(in VICROADS terminology) ? im single and i dont have a family, but the car will definately be registered in my name. since im "single" and it'll be the only car that i'll have access to, will the GTR33 pass off as the only car in "MY" family ? for ppl that have been granted an exemption in the past, how easy was it to get ? also how did u go abouts writing the letter ? lastly, was there a certain period of time u must have "owned" the vehicle ? my GTR33 will be arriving in November '05. please help me out as this will be the only car that i'll have access to and i dont want to sell it. thnx

lmao, funny if the same thing happened to car make/model, lol. its like ohhh, im offended becoz u drive a ferrari. i think im gonna write a formal complaint. :lol: :lol:

1 thing i dont get is why ppl complain ? i mean is it really that bad ? ok, minus the obvious ones. i've heard plates such as COPYME, STOLN, 4U2EVY, DRGDLA, WEP N, STUPD, BETANU, 8YAMUM, 2KURPT, 90GRND, 9THSIN etc get called bak. i mean, its all in the humor, its nothing serious. but ppl are somehow offended by it ?

lol, i was actually there at the time. hrmmm, i'll see how it goes. if i need to, i'll change my licence into a vic one.
