New P-plate Laws!

[R31Nismoid]

Just sell the N/A and buy a turbo when your off P's.

It'll cost you less.

[O-Y-K-B]

or just drive the turbo nd hope u dont get caught lol. in 3 years with the old laws though i got done once for power to weight

[femno]

How about a RB26DE?? LOL That would be a first??

[justin911]

why do p platers (or anyone i suppose) need to drive a turbo/fast car anyways ?

[B-rad33]

please tell me thats not a serious question...

[dezz]

of course not...justin was just joking...weren't you justin

[femno]

because its the need.....

...the need for speed.

:laughing-smiley-014:

[ferni]

The same reason the rest of use want to drive a fast car I wanted one when i was on my p-plates, i just couldn't afford one back then....

, for shiz

Ahh well, I got a GTS just to be sure these rules didn't stuff me around (cauz i new it was only a matter of time), otherwise i would have gone the turbo option. But to be honest i think my car has enough stick to keep me entertained...........for now

Thanks for the info guys,

If you are referring to a R33 GTS, then disregard my post

but the 1991-1993 R32 Gts-t is P-Plate legal under the current p/w ratio.

Although once these new laws come out, no doubt it will be a tough time explaining it to police that yes its turbo but legal for current P-Platers lol. Prolly give me a defect for proving him wrong haha

Although if you are happy then enjoy without the added stress

nahhh no way, I would get the R32 for sure lol

Yeah, thats exactly right, even if you are under the legal ratio, just for having a turbo you would get more interest from cops, again adding to my decision just to go NA

I think I'll just wait till I'm off my P's before the dream car (R32 GTR Ohhhhh Yeah ), plus i just got a smick zorst on it , no way i'm selling it now till i have too lol

Thanks again for clearing all this up for us mate,

Just saw this on VicRoads website.

Nice find, but it won't stop the stupid questions, it's been posted up in the roadworthy thread since Feb.

[B-rad33]

all i can say, is its gunna "SUX" to be a "JU" if your getting your p's after this!!

What if you got it one day after??? hahahahaha

[TracidTrax]

$1100???!!!!!

Wasnt it like a bit more than 100 before? I wouldnt know because i havent had one...

The fine used to be $110 and no points, but damn now $1.1K + 3 points? i dont think there will be too many P platers on the road with performance cars after the set date

[GTAAAH]

"Penalties

From 1 July 2007 the penalty for driving a high powered vehicle will be three demerit points and a maximum fine of approximately $1100. These penalties will apply to both the current power to weight restrictions and the new high powered vehicles restrictions."

Thats sooooooo gay, means i cant drive my valiant anymore (5.2 litre, 220hp, 1350 kilos = ) without risk of losing my other 3 points and my licence.. They used to give a warning, i wonder if they still will

[pablo101]

just do community service if you cant pay it off lol

but still should be obeying those laws (yes they suck, but what can we do?)

A mate of mine got killed in a Hyundai Excel. These law's won't stop the road toll. Driver training is what's needed.

I used to have a sticker on my old car, maybe I should get it reprinted. It said: Don't ban high performance cars, ban low performance drivers!

[dezz]

group buy on those

[R34NRG]

farkkkkk im screwed LOL

[ctjet]

how is that funny?
