If you do not have an exemption and driving on your Ps with a GTR. You're not covered.

As to vicroads, you are driving the car illegally. The insurance may allow you to drive it, but once you crash or claim something, they'll find every reason not to accept your claim.

I could insure a lambo under my name on red Ps and they'll still accept my payment. I signed to have the car covered as long as the car is been driven legally.

My insurer put an underwriting comment on my policy to state I am covered in the event of an at fault claim. So if it doesn't hold up in court then I guess Im screwed lol. But according to the legal team at the insurance company i work for, I should be fine.

And going back to the ball size lol, you can't compare a 3k vl to a 34gtr on p plates.

Yeah well "should be fine" is all good and well until it comes time to claim, best of luck for you if/when you do but don't take any chances that could end up in you having to claim. I think you're completely wrong in the ball size, if you're not covered and you hit a brand new BMW or Mercedes, who the **** cares if you're driving a 3 grand turbo or a 60 grand turbo, at the end of the day if you're denied you will still be paying $100k + out of your own pocket so it's got nothing to do with the cost of the turbo car you drive and in fact the brains of the driver who is illegally driving.

Sounds like you've done your homework, which is at least more than the average turbocharged driving P plater does. I'd want that underwriting to be very specific with regard to being on your P plates and driving high powered vehicles though, because unless you have an exemption it is of course being driven illegally.

And yes, OP, an R34 GT would be an ideal car for you...just don't spend too much on it, that's what I'm getting at. Because you WILL want a different car when you are off your P plates and you WILL wish you hadn't cashed up on your first car. Stereo, exhaust, wheels - fine...they are transferrable car to car. But don't do much more than that or you'll probably be sorry later on!

maza 1993, buy a nice clean p plate legal car for he road on your p's, and use the rest to finance a track car. On the track you can drive anything on your p's and thrash it as much as you want in a safe environment. Assuming the reason you want a turbo is to accelerate quickly and have some fun.

The best first car is a shot box. Too many times do I drive around seeing a *cough* young hotty in mummies BMW/merc and I just cringe to think how much it would be to repair one of those when and I repeat when a p plater has an accident.

I had a barina as my first car and nicked a lot of things and the beauty of it was when I locked the keys in it I pried the door open and got them back haha. Not many cars will let you do that.

Get a shit box until you know how to drive!

My parents actually want me to get a BMW, and I'm actually a pretty good driver which is why my parents want me to get one.

Yea, I love to speed and shit, but I know when to do it.

I want a nice first car haha :P

Thats cool man. Just remember that shit happens, and the learning curve can be quite steep sometimes when youre driving unaccompanied/tired/frustrated, these things add to learning how to drive in different emotional states or the weather conditions.

Hate how everyone assumes it's mummy/daddys cr suppose they just never worked hard I had good cars young paid every cent

thumbsup.gif right on bro. How much was youre first car? What job did you have to earn that car? Did you pay it outright?

And if youre trying to tell me that those little princesses I see in the 2010 2011 BMW 123's 320's on their red p's bought that car themself then I find that very very hard to believe.

Very hard rofl.gif

I had a 33 when they where 20k+ stock as which I did up, then a 40k accord euro which I did up and I moved onto my Lexus and I also have my current 33 for a hobby cars aren't expensive especially if your living at home

Ive been on 6 figures since 20

Yeh plenty of jobs. Not many offering a job to a 20 year old with I dont know what qualification for a 6 figure salary.

A bit fishy.

Good luck with youre search OP. All in all, Id get a cheap car. But seeing as youre parents are funding you, well then I cant relate because I wasnt so lucky.

Your loss mate look outside the square plenty of people doing it

The whole Aussie philosophy is backwards give our worst least experienced drivers the most unsafe crappest car if I had kids I'd buy em the best I could afford with safety features

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
