hey guys

as most of u know, in nsw we have p plate bans since 11 july 2005.

However, I am getting disqualifed from court soon, for speeding.

I am a current P plate holder, have had my license since 2004.

Will I still be able to drive Turbocharged & V8 powered vehicles?

The RTA website says :

Who will the prohibited vehicle condition apply to?

The prohibited vehicle condition applies to:

A re-issued P1 or P2 licence due to a disqualification for a driving offence that was committed on and after 11 July 2005.

Now, I'm pretty sure i fall under that, but alot of ppl have been telling me different.

When they say, re-issued, does that mean after like after being cancelled for good or what? anyone know the go?

Thanks Fellas :P

If you 'had' to go to court and lost your licence then no V8 or turbo for you. If you simply lose it due to points loss i beleive you will be fine, however if you were disqualified and went to court then your stuffed. Friend of mine lost his for dui special range (.01) on P2 and when he gets his licence back no v8 or turbo, also your p's will start again as told by police and the court. i.e the two years for P2 will have to be done all over again even if your licence was removed a week before you were to change to blacks. Very harsh if your in the same boat as my friend.

thats incorrect, when u get it back you can drive turbo/V8, only thuing is you will need to get your L's again hold those for 10days then do your P's again.

my mate got done DUI then got got caught driving without a licence, lost it fo0r 27 months and he has had to get his L's again and then go for his P's again but he has no restrictions

I would ask the RTA when the situation occurs. My friend lost his P plates in court also...similar situation. He wasn't required to return to L's or pass the driving test etc or anything but was required to lodge an exemption request for his two skylines.

He is now able to only drive his own cars (R31 & R32) which were given immediate exemption, but he is no longer able to drive mine for example.

Its quite possibly there is different rulings depending on the reason you lose your license in court. i.e DUI and speeding result in different processes.

if he lost it for 27 months and is on p's again now then he lost it before the 2005 date that they brought these rules in. In which case he'd be able to drive turbo/v8 again, however in our friends case the licence cancelation will be after that date so no turbo or v8.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
