Hi, most of you know, I have a black R33 GTR and I'm on RED Ps. I just got pulled over on the eastern bypass for a "random" breathliser. Blew 0.00, then the dickhead proceeded to tell me I had no P plates up. So I pointed to them and he says theyr illegal. I have white P plates with the P written in RED. Apparently this is illegal. Same goes for green. Has to be green plate and white P. As a result, I've been fined $100 for being "Provisional driver type 1A. Fail to display Red P plate (first 6 months)". Get a f@#$ing life, I AM DISPLAYING RED P PLATES, JUST LIKE THE ONES DPI GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PASS YOUR TEST!!

What was even more bs, was the senior officer came up and then started chatting about skylines, mentioning how his brother in law has a R34 and how I service it at XSpeed with Hanson cause I have a sticker there. FFS I HELL WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHILST YOUR JUNIOR OFFICER FINES ME!!!! Then the young f@#$wit asks to open my bonnet, so I do and the can't sticker me for anything cause my car is totally legal, bastards.

No, I have had previous cars. Mum gave me $2k for my first and I sold it and made a few dollars. Since then I been doing the same till I could afford one. Now I have one and only owe a small amount to my folks.

No, didn't loose any demerit points thankfully.

Enjoy it. I know I would. Be safe.

YO. 100 bucks a plate if ya don't have em up. no demerits. just fines.

the red plate with white lettering is what you have to display, as it lets pork know if you're on curfew or not. that's why they're illegal. DPI had a shortage of the new plates for a while (which is retarded. around northam when they came out, no one could get them, and as a result coppers stung shitloads of people).

advice: take it on the chin and get some aunger-brand electro-statics.

and shit goddamn dude, congrats on getting gt-r on ya p's. what area are you in?

You got off lightly...

I'd hate to see your blood pressure if they gave you a yellow sticker...

It comes with the territory of being on your provisional license, the cops will nit-pick you for anything they can... it's suppose to scare P-Platers straight, I'm not saying your a bad motorist, but that was their way of making sure you know not to test the law.

I speak from experience, I haven't been pulled over the last 2 years I've had my full license, but I still shit my pants when I see the police, hahaha :)

Yeah I jus got hit with my second of these fines, and there'r no demerits, for the people wondering.

Figure it's easier to just drive the folk's car without them than transfer the plates from car to car, since getting caught in your skyline without plates is big f**king trouble I imagine =D

Haha, it wasn't the fact I got angry that I'd been fined, its just what I was fined for. When I drove up to them and did the breathiliser etc, I was calm - knowing I didn't have any drinks and my car was totally legal... Man I've had other cops not mention a single thing about them too :S

Yeh that sucks man, stupid law.

Funny though haha, when i spotted you driving down the great eastern yesterday i actually thought to myself "he still has the white P-Plates, i wonder if he gets in trouble for that"

Probably going to just pay it, I looked it up and I am technically wrong. However, the copper told me they had been phased out for a year but I've only had my license for 5 months and in that time I bought numerous sets of P plates (for diff cars, cbf transferring) and some were white with red P and others red P white background.... How am I supposed to know :S I just bought whatever was available, usually from sevos and such.....

cheers for heads up mate. im on red P's and looking to get r34 quite soon :P although almost greens haha

yeah i reckon its better to wait till ur on ur greens. i got my 34 4door when on my greens and i have only been pulled over once coz my exhaust was blowing out heaps of smoke due to (cough) over filling the (cough) oil by 4 litres lol very stupid thing to do lol

the plates have been like that since june last year (would be before you got your license if your still on reds) so theres really no excuse to still be driving around with white background plates. you were in the wrong and got fined for it, thats life

    • It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!
    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
