Is A Cold Air Intake Illegal For A Red P Plater?

[Bennett]

Well i know that a lot of p'platers get fined for driving 180's with sr's but havent heard of as many skylines getting done even though the get pulled over and hassled about other things a LOT. I myself have a car thats over the power to weight because of the engine conversion to a 25 but no cop has ever noticed even though the vin number starts with rb25...

Just all comes down to luck when you get pulled over i guess

Taken straight from the QLD Transport site

"High-powered vehicles

Research shows that drivers take more risks such as speeding deliberately and driving

recklessly when they are behind the wheel of high-powered or ‘performance’ cars. That’s

why provisional licence holders under the age of 25, whether holding P1 or P2 licences,

are not allowed to drive high-powered vehicles, such as those with:

-an engine with a power output of more than 200 kW

-eight or more cylinders

-a turbo-charged or super-charged engine (except a diesel-powered engine)

-a modified engine requiring approval under the Transport Operations (Road

Use Management Vehicle Standards and Safety) Regulation 1999

-a rotary engine that has a capacity of more than 1146 cc"

This is for Queensland, so going from this i can throw in a CAI with no worries at all. Only bought the car last Friday, has a full exhaust system, not too sure on the details.. but if thats legal surely a CAI is

Sorry but that is wrong.

The R33 GTS-t is illegal on the OLD and NEW system. This has always been the case, always will be the case.

If you simply got lucky, good on you.

However that does not magically the VicRoads has changed the Victorian Law. I think you've posted that R33's are legal a few times - please stop doing so as it is wrong and misleading people.

TwoCents - thanks for your post… however it has not a lot of relevance to the topic at hand (user is NSW I've found out).
