Its still there, but you have to prove it.

I would suspect the reigns will be drawn in aswell on that issue.

As it was reasonably easy to have it granted. Even though most did not because the fine was minimal anyhow.

Good luck trying to get VicRoads to believe the only car your family owns in your 45yr old fathers modified R33 GTS-t

Best way to do it is to register a business, and register your parents cars to the business. Then register the suspect vehicle to your parents personally. Very easy to trace and not very difficult, but I found it worked well for a good 3 years.

What does that have to do with getting an exemption?

I was implying that it's not all that uncommon to find 45 year old men driving modified skylines, so proving it to VicRoads would be easier than you suggested (although probably still difficult)

for those interested... re: Exemptions

I rang vicroads (several times and averaged the answers lol!)

""IF"" you manage to obtain a letter of exemption from vicroads due to the car being a work related vehicle... it may ONLY be driven while AT work, for only WORK purposes.... and is not allowed to even be driven too and from work! only AT WORK.... so that loophole has well and truely been covered, because if you get caught driving at say; 10:30 on a saturday night with all your mates in the car, dont expect to be able to use the exemption paper!

so garaging, swapping with parents or selling up would probably be quite a wise thing until off your P's... on that note.. who wants to buy my r32 LOL - P-plate Legal!!! haha

early on in my p's i went from a hyundai excel to a r33 gtst and then got my first red light ticket after that i have been real carefull where and when i put my foot down. its quite a challange being in this kind of car with only one point left but i still wont sell my car just because some fat bald guy in a suite thinks i am a hazard to his tax payers funded existence.

i get my opens in august and i plan on keeping my car its my choice. cheers.

Hey guys,

Well I just called VicRoads, and they confirmed the laws are still coming in.

I also enquired about adding weights, and he said you'd need to get the car weighed at a weigh bridge and then do your own calculations.

I believe there's one on Hume Hwy?

The one on the Hume is miles out. Go to any industrial area or truck yard and ask where they go for weighing as the penalties are high for excess weight. We have one here but its not for vehicles who arent working/doing work for us and also it may not even register a car weight as they are so light in comparison.

so they actually said yes u can make ur car heavier, but ull need to weigh and do the calcs urself?

Wrong again.

The law is off the factory figures. Period.

There is no "unless its modified" "mods are engineered" "whatever".

f**k me do we have to go through this again, it's irrelevant what the moron at vicroads tells you, go a read the law thats written in the book, its factory figures end of story!

Theres no way around it and thats that alright!

FYI i will be keeping my car as it is my pride and joy, and will keep driving it until i get dicked. Ive been driving it for a year now, pulled over once for random breatho n that was it. No check under bonnet or power to weight.

$1100 max? Does this mean you first offence may be say around $110, then $500, then 3rd $1100??? That how it works?

$1100 is $1100. There is no scaled increase.

Its $1100.

And i'll be willing to bet now the law actually carries a reasonable weight. The Police will certainly crack down hard on it.

They arent silly, they know what the cars look like :ninja:

this new law's only apply to the new p plates dont it. I dont understand it all, does my head in.

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/c_youngGLS_9.html all the info on this site.

NO

Please read the thread, its already been covered in plain english. The laws already exist!!!!!!!

Its really not that hard to understand.

fark me drunk.

Taxi - nope :ninja:

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
