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...

your insurance company will sure as hell pick it up aswell when it comes time to make a claim lol

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.

Edited by MadMike

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.

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 :D

Refer to attachment from Vicroads - please take note of the date (for you future readers out there).

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)?

Maybe check with your local road authority?

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
