Hi guys, i'm in the process of appyling for an exemption to drive my R33 gtst

I bought it in July 2010 so it's 2 months before they changed the rules, the car was sale as is for parts, the engine blew off and some other things. The next day i went to cancel the registration from Vicroad (this car is from Vic) and they didn't let me because it was under some non payment fines. I didn't have enough cash at the time so i left it as is, the car had 9 months rego though. About 2 months ago i started working on it and the car is now done and drivable. I'm about to call Vicroad to complete all the fines and get it registered under my name however i'm not allowed to drive turbo and shit on my P's.. I'm not trying to break the law but rather than selling it should i apply for an exemption? is it worth a try? THANKS!!!!

PS: I'm from South Australia anyways!

This is the main sentence here. Doesn't matter if you bought it before the laws, it wasn't registered under your name (if that would even help).

The law in SA states that if you upgraded your license to p's before the law came in you can drive a turbocharged car. Google turbo laws in SA and you'll find all the info you need :)

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
