P Plater Question

[r32_lover]

Hey fellas

Just registered here because i have a question or 2. I previously had a stock berlina but lost my license a little while ago. i get it back in a few days but i have also recently purchased a r32 turbo.

I dont know how many kw's it runs but i can give u some info on it.

its only got a standard airbox with new K&N panel air filter

custom pipe front mount, not very visable

and a RB25DET Series 1 Turbo, ball bearing, steel wheel.

Just wondering if its p plater legal?

It looks like a sleeper but what will happen if i get pulled over by cops and they notice the turbo?

Not another one of these threads! Please do a search first.

The answer is no!!!

How hard is it to find the answer before buying an illegal car?

If you are pulled over expect to be fined and lose points for driving high powered vehicle, cops also pick on p platers in high po cars so prepare to be defected

PS:

Sorry to sound harsh, it's just that every week someone asks the same question. I don't want to give you the wrong first impression of SAU

Welcome...

This will not be P plate legal, not even with the old laws that allowed people to drive turbocharged vehicles with less than 125kw/tonne. When you get pulled over by the cops they won't need to notice the turbo because the car will come up as a turbocharged model when they do a background check on the vehicle. At which point they may (read: most likely will) fine you for driving an overpowered vehicle. And if you have an accident, your insurance company may void any claim you make because you were driving illegally. My advice, sell the car or store it until you are off your Ps.

Silly girl! Don't be like her...it's worth the wait, you'll have all the time in the world to drive around when you're off your P's and the police can't touch you (except for EPA/defects but that's another world altogether lol).

The above comments answered your question perfectly i just wanted to add that if you get caught especially in Melbourne around certain areas there are a few cops around that will go to every extent to give you a hard time weather you where acting stupid on the road or not they will pull you over because your driving an import especially being on your P's im talking about multiple defects / fines i guess some cops have a grudge against the cars we drive. Its best to store the car and drive something else until your off your P's.
