questionalble in QLD.

I reckon same here in VIC, being the power to weight ratio thing...

Some may argue since it's non turbo it's ok but knowledgeable officers of the law would know about power to weight ratio and you can get done for driving one on your Ps...

Just because you've seen one on the road with P's doesn't mean it was legal (it might not be), or that you can also have it (they might have an exception from their RTA). There ARE exceptions to the rules. If you owned the car before the rules came into effect, or its the only car you have access to, etc. So call your local RTA to discuss.

This is for the Coupes. Sedans with the smaller engines might be fine.

Illegal in NSW

P1/P2 licence holders are also restricted from driving the following 6-cylinder vehicles:

BMW M and M3.

Honda NSX.

Nissan 350Z and 370Z (including private or 'grey' import variants eg. Infiniti G35, Infiniti G37, Skyline 350GT (V35), Skyline 370GT (V36)).

All Porsches from 1994 models onwards (except diesel).

Mercedes Benz SLK350.

Illegal in QLD

A high-powered or performance vehicle is defined to include a vehicle with any of the following:

of more than 200kW under the manufacturer's specifications for the car

Probably Illegal in Victoria. Not sure as their current list is down. Call to find out.

Their old list had the 350z on it.

According the wikipedia, the 350GT-8 is listed as 200kW so would be okay in QLD, but the other 350GT are 206kw.

300GT and 250GT are well under 200kw so no problems.

I doubt you'd get pulled up in it, but like it was said before, your insurance would mean squat after they decide you were illegally driving the car.

Hmm I bought my v before the actual brakcets after 350z came on so what now? Am I allowed to drive it still (like how p players before tubro laws kicked in are / where still allowed to drive turbos)?

[iseekool]

V35 350 GT coupe and sedans (and lower models) is legal in Victoria. It's niether a V8 or turbo, and it has 4 or more seats putting it in the family car category

Maybe check with your local road authority?
