Hey fellas im in a bit of a pickle at the moment and was wondering if you guys could help !

Ill give you the story :/

Well about 6 months ago i got done for having high beams when not permitted and then about 1 month ago i got pinged for no seat belt. Now that racked up for demerit points and i have the option of losing my license for 6 months or going on a safe driver agreement for 3 yrs with 1 demerit point :( I live in SA and both of which will put me on the new laws which is no turbo powered cars even though the lil rb20's are weak. If any one has recieved an exemption i was wondering if they could put some tips in for the application. Here is what i was thinking so far

- I have an r32 gts4 which i have had before i lost my license but has never been regod in SA but states the vehicle was brought 3 months ago

- It is unreasonable to live at home. I have centrelink statements proving this. I am only 18 and on part time wages struggling to keep up with the bills

- As i live interdependently it is my transport (even though it hasnt been regoed in sa yet)

- I live pay by pay and no point selling a unregod car

- I lost my license for non hoon related driving and wasnt in the skyline

- Could probably get the boss to whip up a letter saying how he needs a car for work ?

- Possibly how its AWD

-Would a dyno sheet help ?

Is there anything else you guys can think of. Its not because i want a high powered vehicle. Its more the attachment i have for this car, I got a loan for this car and i hope to drive it again and not in 6 yrs time. everyone knows the rb20's aren't the quickest but yes ill admit plenty much power for the young 18 yr old. I have fallen for the sleek r32 curves. If only holden could of made vn's look as snazzy as the jap cars :)

Dunno how your whackedy-ass state runs things but in normal states, a suspension is not losing your licence. im talking QLD and NSW here. for Example a mate had the old rules on his licence and got done on his Ps doing 163kms in a MK3 Supra. 6 month suspension and back the same because a suspension is exactly what it is;a supension period and not a disqualification. Might wanna check the facts otherwise your state sucks harder than i already knew..

6ks? You could do that on a pushy in under 10 minutes, easy.

Fek, if I lived 6ks from my work I'd ride a pushy every day.

You'll also save a fortune on the pushy.

I'm gunna take a stab and say you've got 5/5ths of f**k all chance of getting any sort of exemption.

f**k not what I wanted to hear. I suppose there is no harm in trying but I would like to hear from.a few who have got exemptions

I doubt you'll find one, especially one with a "bad driving history" which is what a Magistrate will see when he receives your driving history from the Po-po. Sure, your offences thus far haven't been exactly shocking, but the fact you have anything there will count hugely against you. That and the fact you've been driving your car around either registered in someone else's name or unregistered.

Also, have you checked that it's even possible to get an exemption in your state?

If you want a tip, take this. I know you love the R32, but get rid of it. They are not a good car for someone struggling to rub a couple pennies together, especially when you're probably just going to get yourself reamed over and over again by the po-po. If you live 6ks from your work, but a cheap Corolla and a pushy. You'll save a fortune and not get booked every other week. The bitches might not like it, but if you are 18 and can't pull a chick every other night without a decent car, then your issues run far deeper.

In a few years time you will not be up to your neck in debt and it's at this point, once you have your 12 points back and a full license, that you can go out and buy the car of your dreams. The bitches will then fizz and you'll be up to your nuts in no time. You'll be able to do it properly and you won't get your arse into a ton of trouble in the mean time.

I do see what ur saying in some respects but your views on why I want one are wrong. I understand thats how alot of 18 yr olds would appear though, yes exemptions are given, there is a few reason they will give one. Lately I have been driving a mates barina while he was in hospital. The car has been garagedand not driven ever since I have got it. You can only regista after a full rwc is completed. And if I dont get exempt ill do it up and rock the hardtaik for a bit, im suure though you if you were restricted from.driving a car you own you would try for an exemption

fairly sure if you got your licence originally under the old laws, even with a disqualification you wont be under the new ones when you get it back. Speak to legal aid as they will clear anything up - its unreasonable to tell someone in your position that they can't legally drive their car any more when they could before the loss of licence.

if for some reason it is like that then take the three year option and only drive on weekends/ ride your bike to work.

Haha love it! Buddy all we can say is try, your chances are slimer than they were without the disqualification but meh.... don't know what the hell is going on in sa with these new laws sounds like they trying to out do nsw and vic with disqualifications instead of suspensions

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It's worth looking at Neil's garage thread, he was super organised (as you'd expect). He had a simple bunnings narrow shelving rack with tubs, each tub numbered, each number had a manifest. Of course, only about half the parts had made it to that system, and he had random stuff from old projects like kawasaki triples and even a Bultaco (a wtf? I said). I really don't want to throw stuff like that because it is irreplaceable, but it's also hard to know who could use it without spending a heap of time I don't have on research. Not co-incidentally, I've recently decided to try and move on some parts too, either random non-skyline stuff like S13 axles or anything R32 that I had more than 2 spares of (yes, I have a lot of space and a lot of spares). Most of the stuff is on commercial racking which is too deep for practical use for loose spares. Where possible stuff is in plastic tubs (various sizes) to keep critters from eating them. The whole place is a disaster for the poor person who has to clean it out when I'm gone. For the R32 spares, I aim to have one ready to go spare (eg rebuilt gearbox, engine, driveshafts, hubs, control arms etc) and one ready to prep spare.  Even so I've ended up with lots of 3rd or more spares and I'd rather see someone else keep their car on the road. Also I've ended up with some interior stuff like boot trims and floor mats I'll never need. So, I'm about to re-enter the painful world of online selling. I'm not on facebook (and won't be) so that is not an option, I'll start a thread on here for R32 stuff and people who need something can find it. I don't really need to throw anything for space reasons, but I somehow doubt the Greddy Rebec III will be in high demand. Oh, and I've got heaps of bench space and heaps of racking.....but still the bench is covered in half done or about to start jobs, I really need to get it better under control but time is an issue

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      This is the current antenna, 4g bands are the ones I'm after, particularly the Telstra long range one which I think is 850Mhz? It has an SMA connector to a 3 way splitter, one runs to the Cel Fi and 2 to a USB 4g wifi stick The problem is not the antenna, the problem is that the V37 has a slightly smaller gap between the rear windshield and the body which prevents the line from being tucked away under it as it was in the Fuga. Therefore, I have about a meter of cable that I can't adequately secure running down the outside of the car to enter the boot....I figure I need to use a roof mount antenna instead and run the cable inside the car The other option I'll look at is removing the factory shark fin (which I assume is factory GPS, which is crap, I use TomTom app on my phone) and I'll bet there is already a hole in the roof under that I could use. Any alternative approach is very much welcome!

      Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible.

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
