Im tired of driving slow cars.

Which reason will work (note, i actually do work in these jobs part time)

1. I work for a panel beater and need to drive turbo/v8 cars as part of my job

2. Im a mechanic and need to drive turbo/v8 cars as part of my job

3. Im a car detailer and must drive turbo/v8 cars to and from my clients place of work or home

Which reason will work so i can get a letter made up by my boss??

If none of these reasons work, which ones will? If anyone has got an exemption please let me know how.

Thanks!

Move to WA before they change the law there as well. An exemption will only allow you to drive a turbo/v8 during work hours to and from customers and your workshop. not saturday night cruisin around.

get a xr6 T or xr8 ute, and only drive it in work times? or tell your boss that if anyone asks u work night shifts.. that way when the cops call him up he can vouch for you and you'll be right.. might pay to keep a ladder and some tools in the tray too

These laws are here to protect you, but I see where you're coming from.

I think the things you listed will work, but only if get pulled over during work hours not at 3am on a Saturday morning.

here's a sure fire way to get a fast car legally.. and the coppers can't even touch you when you use this loophole. I've used it personally and it works great, the cop didn't give me any hassles at all.

Its called a full license.

Keep it in your pants till you're off your P's then go get whatever the hell you want. What's the big rush for? wanna impress your mates or something? You'll be on your P's for 3 out of possibly 50 years of your life behind a steering wheel, have some patience.

you can prolly try to fill out an exemption form from the RTA stating that you need to drive a high powered/performance car. That would be the safest way.

uh...huh :) but why will he need to drive it"

He has to make a good case to geet an excemption. If he gets on for work then it will have to specify it is for work purposes during work hours only. he wont be able to buy a ute and get the boss to say he needs it for work. The RTA looks at all the cars the company will have and say no.

Just sit it out and stop trying to "get around" the law.

There's absolutely no way around this... new laws are laws... I know it sucks to have to wait it out... but you just have to do that... remember, the law's there to protect you and others from dying on our roads... I see where you're coming from; but as they say "a caterpillar spoils the soup..." one bad bug of a thing and the rest cops it too... have a patience mate... when you're on your P's, the likelihood of you speeding and killing yourself is much higher than when you're off your P's... so just have a some patience.

i remember reading somewhere that.. if the car he is driving is the only car being registered at the place his living.. then legally his allowed to drive it even though its high powered?

you mean this? ( NSW Licensing P-Plate rules )

The principal family vehicle is a moderate-performance turbo/supercharged engine vehicle.

I think you'd still need to pass this though, but not sure.

You can prove direct ownership of a prohibited vehicle prior to the start of the scheme or before an overseas/interstate licence transfer.

guys, also keep in mind that P plate restrictions, and conditions vary from state to state... a lot.

R33GTS25 please post what state you're from so I can move this thread to the relevant section so you get proper advice?

      Another Crank No start thread - r34 rb20 neo + t

      If you really don't want to touch anything you can try to trigger off the timing loop just to see if it's sparking semi-regularly. Don't trust it for actual timing measurements.

      r34 starting problem

      By r34lad · Posted

      Hey everyone, I have a r34 GTT s1, im having a problem with my skyline, ive let the car sit in the garage for the last couple of months and havent run it and ive gone to fire her up today and it cranks but doesnt fire, i have been having problems with it previously where it wouldnt start again after driving it around for a bit. It use to start fine on cold start ups but if you drove to the petrol station and fueled it up and went to go start it again, it would just crank and not fire untill you let it rest for a few hours, the car doesn't over heat it sits perfectly in the middle while driving when warmed up. Im thinking this problem has caught up maybe and now it just wont start at all. The car runs on e85, ive checked the e85 seems to be fine. I can hear the fuel priming before you go to start it and checked all my fuses and relays. List of things I replaced today - New battery - New sparkplugs - New Coolant temp sensor I was thinking about testing the CAS but from what ive seen online, if the CAS is cooked, the car will actually start up but then die instantly? as mine just doesn't fire at all. Does anyone have any idea or have encountered the same problems? thanks

      Modern reg stuff now, they'd have a wide input range which would push through a buck converter, it would need to be able to maintain voltage for cranking conditions (sub 9V at times). Likely runs something like an internal 6V rail, and then further voltage regulators depending on which circuit/area it is feeding. Modern voltage regs, like what I'm starting a new power supply design with at work, will let me run a 5V rail output, and as long as my input is equal to or greater than 5V, I have a 5V output. Except I'm not pushing a 5V rail in our system as I don't need one, we're setting up for a 3.8V rail. Our new design will allow me 6 to 60VDC input, and everything else doesn't care, even when I start pushing a few Amp outputs.   Realistically, the voltage drop off could be caused by a few things though, one could be literally the alternator is dieing, and hence charge power is dropping, which also means on a straight hard pull you're starting to send the battery flat... (Not that likely from a single couple of gear pull if the battery was fully charged). However, having earth issues, like stray earths not connected, or someone having put a ground loop in, will see the ECU appear to end up with lower voltage "input", mainly because the "ground" is no longer equivalent to battery negative. If they're comparing the input voltage using sensory ground for example, and sensor ground is what is in that ground loop, than the sensor output voltage will actually start to be reduced, when compared to battery ground... Yeah, ground wiring design can start to be a bitch... Also voltage going weird from inductive loads not being managed properly is another real bitch... Hence, why I asked above about how everything was wired in. If OP knows, and can post all of the actual connections from the ECU pin out, as well as what wires are joined where in the loom, which grounds from the ECU have ground points and where they are etc. Would help to see if there is a ground issue. The part I'd start with though, is putting a mechanical oil pressure gauge on to confirm the theory. Otherwise the next track day when the threshold is lowered could result in another of @Duncan favourite types of jokes... Knock knocks... Pretty sure this is what @GTSBoy is also self high fiving...  Is all great that we have a decent theory... But they need to prove it before relying on it...

      When I worked at BlueScope Steel, we had an Ethernet network, with every switch setup with a duplicate switch. Even when looking at all the primary switches, they had duplicate links, there was then also duplicated links between the primary in section A, to the duplicate in section B. So for each location that had networking, there was 8 network links. This was all back around 2007. That setup caused sooooo many issues, as many of those links were fibre. The network guys ran everything with Spanning Tree Protocol. And then we had great joy... The FOC Transceivers were slowly dieing, but in an intermittent way. And a lot of the time as they started to die, they'd drop offline for about 30 seconds... Spanning Tree Protocol was requiring 45 seconds to "rewire" the network... And by the time it was mostly finished, it had to start again as the transceiver was back online... Queue entire production network being constantly spammed with the spanning tree protocol messages...   My god I do NOT miss working in huge environments like that!
