I couldnt agree more with post above ... wait !!! ... these rules have been enforced because it was decided that "generally" there isnt a " P " plate driver alive with enough driving knowledge & experience to adequately handle & operate a motor vehicle of above average performance let alone one capable of being modified to deliver massive power to the rear wheels ... (some young drivers who have undertaken extensive & expensive advanced driver training exlcluded) ... these rules & regulations that have been adopted & passed as law since the recent influx of turbo charged cars have been especially put there for "P" platers not because the authorities hate you but because theyd actually like you to live long enough & gain the neccesary driving skills & confidence that can only be gained over time ... they also had the forsight to realise that these second hand R32 & R33 Skylines would soon dramatically drop in value making them easily affordable to "P" platers with little or no real driving experience ... ive had my drivers license for 32 years ... my car is close to 300kW at the rear wheels ... its NOT 4 wheel drive & has NO ABS ... its "practically" impossible to drive effectively in the rain or on a slippery surface ... the thought of a driver with little or no real experience getting into it on a rainy day makes it ever so clear to me why these laws have been passed ... not too sure if you recall back in 2004 when a "P" plate driver got into his dads blue R34 GTR when his dad was overseas ... took his mate & his pregnant girlfriend for a spin down the street ... he managed to tear the entire car into 2 pieces ... which youd think would be quite difficult ... though very easy when you mix inexperience with big power ... they all died ... sadly ... PLEASE wait & enjoy a non turbo car while you gain the experience to handle more challenges that a turbo will throw at you ... my daily driver is a Nissan Micra 4 cylinder 1275cc lowered / sports springs & shocks / bigger sway bars / extractors / 2 in straight through exhaust / high flow cat / cold air induction / pod filter ... unbeatable in the traffic ... 750KG ... power to weight ... AWESOME !!! ... sounds siiick too !! ... :cheers: ...

If i was making the decisions in relation to "P"platers driving turbo cars on limited budgets id make the minimum age 28 or 10 years driving experience ... :santa: ...

All the money youll save in fines by abiding by the laws will pay for a fantastic NA sports car ... :) ...

The suspension is however long it is when you lose all your points... I don't remember the exact value of the fine but it is in excess of $600. It is a 7 point demerit.

To prove you have QLD residency you will need a QLD licence. To prove you have residency I imagine you will need some paperwork proving you live in QLD like a bank statement in your name or something... I don’t imagine a policeman officer accepting anything other than a QLD licence should one pull you over.

From what I have heard it is easy to get the exemption if you have a legitimate requirement to drive a prohibited vehicle. If you don't have a legitimate requirement, you won't get an exemption.

If you want a fast P plater vehicle, look into a V35 350GT. More powerful, economical and comfortable than a R33 GTS-t.

School holidays ftmfw!

I remember that accident very very well, the car was ripped in two, each piece was 50 metres apart, with the engine OUT of the car on the road........ a sad day indeed.

Everyone needs a "starting car". You cant have your first car as a super dooper amazing car, as you'll never be able to upgrade. Half the fun and experience is upgrading your car/cars over the years. Although two guys at my old school had their Dads buy them Porsches, so its a bit hard to upgrade from that!!!!

My first car was a 1992 Camry Station Wagon, then FWD Celica with tons of mods, now turbo R33 with 250rwkw, and the upgrading continues.....

Matt you crack me up dude!!!!!!!!!!GOLD!!!!

there are ways in NSW to get exemptions while your on Green P's only..... friend of mine did it only recently, cost him under $50 for the exemption. They gave it to him because he was one of the few who went through their reds without any hassel.

I'll send him this thread and see if he contributes to this.

Sorry to say, but your daily driver sounds like it isn't P plater legal either :cheers:

Looks like a new mines datsun man in the making. 350 gt's are probably a bit pricey for someone of that age unless he is loaded. Get a S2 Rx7 with a 13b peripheral port.

Malcolm...a Micra?

I am sorry but no amount of exhausts or suspension can make this a cool car.

Isn't peripheral porting a 13b modifying the engine? If so than it's no good I'm afraid :cheers:

Also, have you seen Druncan's JDM Micra Superturbo? That thing is cool :santa:

i had the same trouble when getting my bike licence... i was restricted to L plater legal bikes... aka... crap. or so i thought.. i tried every angle to get around it, couldnt be done without just risking it and going out on a big bike and hoping for the best. and i have been riding motocross bikes since i was a wee fella.

doing all the research, i ended up with a little aprillia rs125.... top speed... 130km/hr. one day i went for a quick ride on a mates cbr929 fireblade.. which will eat 130km/hr in second gear.. it was just plain scary.. my brain couldnt handle the severe acceleration and obscene speed and everything was literally a blur.. youd just get a grip on where you were on a straight, and a corner would jump up out of nowhere... sure you'd get used to it, but where do you go then??.. whereas my aprilia with its severe lack of weight and revvy nature was just plain fun, i could ring it out and feel like i was going fast... but only be just over the speed limit.. i could rev it out and launch it without worrying about it wheelstanding or flipping out.

to say the least, im on the lookout for another aprilia rs125..

you dont need power to have fun, you dont need a turbo to have fun. :)

all you need is a decent chassis, good brakes, good suspension, and good tyres. :)

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
