You are prohibited. Any provisional licence issued after july 2005 is prohibited.

Please check the Rta for this type of information

Check the back of your license, it should say which cars you are prohibited to drive.

And not to sound like im picking on you or anything, but maybe buying a skyline and not knowing much about cars isnt a great idea. lol

Theres alot of work if you plan to keep it, and alot of headache if something goes wrong...and also very expensive... :(

But if you're willing to learn then welcome aboard. :)

I haven't heard of this paying business for permits but I have heard plenty of stories that It's as simple as getting your place of work to write a letter into the RTA asking for an exemption due to whatever reason (usually only car available is a such and such seems to work) and seeing what happens from there.

The worst that could happen is them knocking you back and then you can just try again until they get bored of getting letters from you :)

what if i buy a turbo car, is it possible to remove the turbo? if so how much do you reckon it cost to remove the turbo?

because I really liked that car i uploaded pics of. (the white one)

Even if the turbo is removed it is still classified as a prohibited vehicle due to the model and stuff. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Also why would you bother? Unturboing a turbo and turboing a non turbo is such a hassle

Especially when they come in turbo and non turbo models :)

I think you are confused with an exemption. I looked into this for a long time and I have never heard of a permit, or paying money to be able to drive a prohibited vehicle in NSW.

There was a "loophole" around the vehicle exemption where a fair few people got granted one because the only vehicle in the family was a V8 or turbocharged car. This has since changed and can not be done anymore. It is in bold print on the exemption application that you can't apply on the basis of this reason.

It's $30 to apply for an exemption, and if you don't get it, you won't get your $30 back.

Just one thing to all the Turbo skyline drivers, how would you feel if you were getting your p's in this day and age, and having people make jokes about not being aloud to drive turbo, its basically your inconsiderate generation being idiots ruining it for us :O. (I meant this thread in a peaceful way too :))

I learnt how to drive on my mums old turbo forester which was an absolute dream to drive. I still oppose what they are doing to p platers as all it's doing is limiting their access to new experiences and slowing their learning curve. Compulsory defensive driving courses and driver awareness on the dangers of speeding and drink driving would go a lot further than saying "While this person is on their reds and greens they are not experienced enough to drive a v8 or turbo but as soon as they get their full licence they are magically empowered with the skills to drive these cars" BULLSHIT!

also ive seen people applying for an exemption for $30 after there first year of driving was uneventful, meaning no attention from the cops at all, no speeding, no transit lane, no bus lane, no illegal driving at all...... it is possible to get an exemption like this and as someone said above, worst case is you loose $30

i remember shane was saying something about going to do it or something on the last hills cruise....

      RB26 boost leak? limp mode?

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Remember our cars are 30+ years old so expect the rubber bits to leak. I'd go around your engine bay with a can of "start ya bastard" or similar and look for leaks. FYI I got my car 10+ years ago with the standard boost restrictor in place, I removed it when I got it and the car never had any issues since (besices a leaking manifold gasket). tl;dr- Look for leaks before proceeding.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      That SSR is actually the same (or similar) as the Jaycar 100AMP SSR (which I use). They suggest the resistor to stop the SSR turning on when the ECU turns off (I believe). I personally don't use the resistor as I use the 5V output from the ECU to supply power to the SSR. I do however run a flyback diode, the old Haltech documentation was wrong too and didn't specify the fly back, I mentioned it to a few of their staff and they eventually added it in.

      Removing sump

      By elohim_imanu · Posted

      I did manage to do this without removing the engine or front cross member, but I had the advantage that the exhaust manifold was removed. I am not setup to support the engine from the top or remove it. 1. Loosen the engine mount nuts so they only have a nut of thread. If it is a manual, I think you have to remove the gearbox to engine support brackets. 2. Jack up the engine off the bottom idler mount. Jack it up till the end of the slot and nut on the mount. You need this clearance to get the pan out at the rear of the engine. 3.Break the sealant seal to sump. I found a oil pan separator tool helpful to get it started. 4. The oil pick up can be removed with the gap available.  5. The oil pan can be removed now. 6. Before assembling, do not apply sealant to the oil pick up area as your hand will rub it all off but apply to the other three and a bit sides. 7. It is a two man job to put the oil pan back, with the sealant, as you do not want it to touch anything and rub off. 8. With one person supporting the oil pan the other can fit the oil pickup 9. Apply the remaining sealant. This would be more difficult with the manifold or turbo in place, but I think it could be done. As you can see my sealant is a bit ugly, but good enough to seal. 10. Lift the sump up to the engine and bolt it on. We found it was easier to use two long guide bolts at each end to get it nice and aligned without touching.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      I find building an exhaust a really satisfying job! Looks nice!   Did you consider using an oval pipe to get the same cross sectional area but keep it above the chassis rail?
