look man i got my red P's 6 months ago, and i got an exemption to dirve my skyline, and that skyline only. i am not entitiled to drive any other turbo car, so even if i sell my current skyline and buy another i wnt be allowed to drive the new 1. so there are small exceptions that may allow u to drive a turbo car. 1-owning the car b4 the rule came out 2-needed for work purposes 3-any other valid reason u may present to them.

but to drive a turbo skyline on ur P's is like handing the police ur license. the fine on the first offence is around $350 and 7 POINTS. thats first ofence. so realisticaly speaking either apply for an exemption (if u think you have a valid reason). otherwise simply dnt take the risk, unless u feel like losing ur license for 3months everytime u get pulled over randomly(which is pretty often in a skyline lol)

Once apon a time (a year ago) i owned a s2 r33 silver aged 17 had been pulled over up to 3 times in a night. I got defected, fined the lot.

Driving on a main road in kirrawee, booted it up to the speed limit along side a friend, cop called it racing. took me to court lost my license for 1 year.. now i cant drive a turbo car anymore due to new restrictions.

They impounded my r33 and even put me in the leader. Costed me 4000$ in the end in fees. I couldnt believe how wrongly accussed i was. amazing what police can do if they want to. (no radars, 1 cop 1 story. by bye car / license.)

Depending on where you live i dont think its possible to not get pulled over in 3 years in one of these cars.

ITS NOT A GOOD FEELING having a nice r33 sitting in ya back yard under cover only because there is some size 8 print on the back of your damn license.

I handed in my exemption form as i owned the car before july 2005 and had it registered in my name at the time of the offence, which are both grounds for exemption.

Wish me luck

U noe racing doesnt have to mean speeding....

i could "race" every car off the lights just to see who can get to the speed limit fastest.

not trying to put u down or anything, just saying that its not like the cop didnt have legitimate grounds to throw the book at you.

Ive lost my licence too for a while (driving on expired licence) and that wasnt fun, but hey you learn from your mistakes and id say im alot more aware of breaking the rules now then i would have been if i didnt lose it.

hey mate yeh i know.. but how would you feel in my situation... i could have gotten off if i didnt have a bad record already. shit happens.

but now i drive like a grandma and it feels good not gettin pulled over :-)

I've had my licence for 11 months.

(Red P's)

Been pulled over 10 times. Never fined. Never been done for speeding/burnouts etc.

Always a "random" breath test. I've had to lift my bonnet 8 times.

Never been asked to rev the car, or anything like that. The cops physically look for a front mount, turbo, blow off valve etc.

I have been asked a few times if my oil breather is a blow off valve, and once if my pod filter (which is enclosed) is a blow off "thingy".

Cops have gotta do a job, and when they see that red P plate they will definately do it.

if its a random breath test ask them why they are testing the car? it doesn't drink

i swear they are so hell bent on making money that you could probably be passed out cold from the booze and they'll still say you are fine, life up your bonnet please.

i was thinking the same thing.

but i heard that ur car gets impounded n shit if ur caught wif a prohibited vehicle.

resorted myself to an NA 34 and will upgrade to turbo once im off Ps.

still pull in d chickies tho :happy:

haha .. shoulda see this guy cruzn in his pimp mobile so hot haha

:(

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
