New P-plate Laws!

[fuzzy_scuz]

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

That's the idea, you can thank the smack tards who do street racing in turbo vehicles and V8's for this crap. This is the government reacting to public out cry. Get used to it.

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!

Yes but I think in this case.. you're not likely to see an Excel going 160k/hr and I think that's the difference and the narrow point of view that the govt sees it from.

Don't think I'm on the side of these new laws tho.

The majority of tossers driving around like f/tards and flying through traffic are usually in a commodore. Doesn't need to be a v8 either.

Its like if I see a skyline doing 140+ and almost running people off the road, I remember it for months because it's a rare event. However a commodore acting like a tard and going at the same speeds.. it's hard to remember one from another because it happens so frequently...

Actually utes have been the worst offenders of late.

I think the actual statistics on fatalities and make/model of car involved would be more beneficial to the public.. as opposed to the current media process of.. if its a skyline, 300zx, 180sx etc say "SKYLINE" and if its anything else put "SEDAN".

Hope that makes sense, I'm in a rush

hey im pretty new to this car scene so i was just wondering..

can i drive a

1990 NISSAN SKYLINE HR32 GTS-T

6 cylinder Petrol Turbo 2.0L (1998cc)

???

soz for the noob questionn..

[R34NRG]

if u got ur licience before july 1st. yes u can

if u got it after, no u cant

[dezz]

As far as I know, 1991-1993 R32's are the legal ones....1990 would probably be over the CURRENT power to weight limit, so it'd be a no....

[femno]

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?)

Can you really do comm service if you get fined?

So say i get one of these fines, and i wont be able to pay it off, i can do comm service instead?

Or will they tell me to sell my car to pay for it

[Nth]

im so happy that i got my p's already and i can still drive a turbo car, you have no idea.

[Omurru]

lol nobody picked up my mistake

[Rekin]

all i can say, is its gunna "SUX" to be a "JU"

sucks to be a jew? lol

As far as I know, 1991-1993 R32's are the legal ones....1990 would probably be over the CURRENT power to weight limit, so it'd be a no....

Tare sticker on my rego says 1250kg, stock power is 158kw = 126.4kw/tonne

I remember ive read somewhere that it is under the limit, but the above calculation isnt helping and if cops go by the weight on the rego sticker...then im in trouble lol

[dezz]

rego sticker weights mean nothing.

[Rekin]

rego sticker weights mean nothing.

According to this site;

http://nissanskyline.6te.net/GTST_spec.htm

R32 weighs 1320kg. If vicroads uses this weight the car is 119~kw/tonne.

There is a difference in weight between 89-90 and 91-93 because of the added intrusion bars in the later models. Question is, would vicroads put that much detail in measuring weights of different year.

[dezz]

vic roads don't weigh cars. power to weight goes by factory weight specs
