Hi Guys.....

Just wondering if anyone knows or has info to help me. I lost my license in November for DD and get it back at the end of March. When i lost it i was on my Opens for 2 months.

I have been told that when i get my license back i go back on green P's and ahve to wear the green P plates etc...

When i was on my P's orginally i got it before the P'pates rules about drving turbo cars and wearing the plates came in..

Any clarification would be great

You know it's ALOT easier calling QLD transport and getting the 100% correct answer, then reading hear-say on a forum.

If you lost an open license you get an open license back*, unless something has changed - refer to calling QLD transport.

now i'm not 100% sure about this, and you would be best of checking with qld transport, but i do recall a mate of mine having a whinge when he lost his licence a few years back that he wouldn't be able to drive his 180sx when he got his licence back because he had to be on his p's for 6 or 12 months after getting his licence back (despite having been on his opens before he lost his licence) and the vehicle restrictions were going to apply to him (this was when they first brought them in in qld).

yeah i'd check with qld transport cause my mates misses lost her licence and when she got it back she was on green p's.. however i would clarify

Iust spoke with QT and was advised that i go back onto my green P's for 12months.

Cant drive between 11pm-5am

0.00 Alcohol limit

4 points instead of 12

I also asked about being able to drive turbo cars and V8's and they said that you can still drive these vehicles

Also you dont need to display green P plates

QTF

afaik as long as turbo is stock in qld you can drive one. You shouldn't go down from Open to P's even if done for DD....

I'm gonna look into that tomorrow

In future just call 13 23 80, it's not a good idea letting everyone on the forum know that you were done for Drink Driving :)

Thats the number i called.... Unfortunately it was a dumb option and poor lack of judgement which will not happen again..

Supposedly now if you loose your license be it by DD or loss of demerit points you go back to a 12 P license even if you had your opens when it was lost

Just called Queensland Transport then;

If you have had your license cancelled, EG: DD, you went to court and it was ruled you get a cancellation for 6months for example, then yes you would go back to P鈥檚 for 12 months.

However, if your license was suspended, say from loss of points then no, you do not get put back onto your P鈥檚.

Straight from QLD transport

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
