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

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
