this thread/question is asked alot.

simply, rules are there and they are enforced. wait till your off your p's to get a turbo car.

Agreed. Why dont people run the red light even when no one's around? Cause they know it's the wrong thing to do.

nah nah you'll be fine, you can always outrun them anyway

do eeeeeeeeeeeeetttt

Unless you got a Red Devil on your left shoulder like this dude encouraging you... LOL

Avoid Highway patrol. Thats all I can say. RBT"S and regular cops wont notice as they dont know the difference. The rule is not heavily enforced because cops believe no1 has the balls to do it. Meaning they dont look for P platers in turbo cars!!! they look for P platers doing silli shit so if u dont do anything stupid while on ur on ur P's then cops dont have a reason to look at you.

Hence why in Sydney, you do not drive in the western suburbs and cruise around Fri/Sat night in the city. Highway patrol are prominently in western Sydney due to their large roads and long highways. Highway patrol really only venture to the city if its the weekend. Honestly highway patrol dont like coming to the city because of traffic, why would they when they can drive the big open highways catching speeders and legally doing 200km+ to enforce the law. Who wants to sit in the city trying to defect P platers for pods & loud exhausts. But thats not to say you wont find highway patrol in the eastern suburbs and lower north shore. Their are designated highway patrol who just take care of those area's.

So getting back on track. I think if you want to drive a turbo car on your P's it is possible depending on where you live. If you know how to avoid highway patrol you should be sweet. Just drive during certain hours and in certain places.

Why am I not suprised you wrote this.

FFS grow the f**k up and obey the law.

Your "Woah is me attitude" gives 99% of the people on here the shits

P.s I guarentee 90% of the cops out there know the difference between the turbo and non turbo models....a) because all the have to do is run the rego plates and its right there infront of them.

B) they are all trained in vehicle identification so they know what to look for if there has been a robbery/hit and run etc

Calm down Bro :rofl2:,

Fact 1: When a police runs rego it does not say if the car is turbo!!

Fact 2: Yes highway patrol are trained in 'vehicle identification', but not normal/regular cops

Fact3: Andrew, your always wound up tight, are you having your period?? calm down, relaxxx ><

Im personally speaking from experience. I drove a 350gt, not a turbo but still P plate illegal. I was pulled over by RBT's and normal cops for the "random breath test", they never asked for an exemption. But i was driving around Penrith for work and got done by highway patrol. Lost my license and had to sell the car.....

80% of statistics are made up on the spot

lolz

My mate bought an na 300zx and a turbo one, he swapped engines and most internals, hid the turbo's really well and still has not been caught. He spooled next to a cop and they just looked at us and drove off haha

Hid the turbochargers really well? There is a DIY on how to "hide" Z32 turbochargers.

1. Own Z32 with standard turbos

Must have been taken just before it was pushed into the defect station...

Cop wants to check for turbos? ENGINE OUT!

You know what, P Platers these days don't really need to worry about driving turbo cars and getting caught. What they need to worry about is driving a turbo car and having a tree jump out in front of them!

There has been a few accident lately involving NON TURBO skylines and using too much power... How teh fark do you guys expect to handle a turbo car?

I know a lot of people like this. They don't know how to control a freaking FWD car, how can they expect to drive a RWD in the wet? Or even an AWD.

TBH we need better driver training. And to put people in 300kw cars going sideways down a public road at 110km/h+. That straightened out my driving, I'm much less inclined to do stupid shit after experiencing that.

End of the day, who are people going to listen to? The person carrying on about how much of a f**kwit we're all being or the people saying nice things about what we drive now and are positively assisting us?

Case in point...

Random person I met at paintball: "Mate, you've got a nice 33, why would you want to sell something so clean? Just change the exhaust and suspension and you'll have a perfect ride right there."

Who do you think I'd listen to?

I'm much more inclined to listen to the positively speaking people than the negative ones.

And yes, I'm a p-plater. 18 years old.

Also, kids will be kids. You were all at our point once in your life. Difference is, most of you could drive turbos.

I bought my Silvia when i was 19 (SR20DET) and went and completed an advanced driving course and did a skid pan day inside the first month to give me a much better idea of what it could/would do and how to control it. I'd highly reccomend that to any P plater, regardless of car.

besides, even in your parents clapped out camry/falcodore it's a good day!

Hey im that random person.

and when you (18yo P-platers) try and be sick khunts cause some dude said your car is awesome and you're all yeah check it out it goes pretty good too. and wham hit a tree sideways, cause you were being a dick.

than my point will be valid.

But if you cant simplly listen to common bloody sence than good luck to you.

I don't care what people think of my car...its my car, I bought it for me, not so some random dude can go yeah looks sick mate and then make my head all big n shit.

As for not being able to drive a RWD car in the wet, well if you are at the limit of adhesion driving around the street than you are being a knob and not driving to the conditions. Its that simple, if you lose control of a car whether its a 600hp S13 or a Volvo S40 going down to the shops then you are simple going to fast.

There are plenty of driver training schools around. Go do one and stop asking for Government handouts on this stuff.

You are the driver so you are responsible for controlling the car, thats why they have a steering wheel and pedals.

    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
