Could somebody please give me a link to the rules and regulations provisional licence holders (in QLD) have regarding power, engine modifications and stuff like that...

Since this is my first post i'll introduce myself.....

I'm new to the forum, I am not a skyline owner but hope to be within 2 years, I am in Emerald in Central Queensland...

Thanks,

Blair

Welcome Blair :wavey:

I am sure someone else will link it for you ( I am not good at nerd stuff like that "nerd in a good way" ) Where are you from ? I am guessing Vic ? as far as I know you can have all the power you like and mods are just the same as us , have to be engineer certified or just don't get chaught and defected !

beau, emerald is in central QLD, as he said.

I think he said VIC meaning hes come from there as thats the only place (i think) that has the power to age specs. as others have said in sunny qld no restricition but watch out its getting more like VIC defect wise every week.

There are no restrictions as yet, but they are "planning" to bring in restrictions in regard to the power to weight ratio for provisional license holders. Who knows when this will happen though as these things take time. Mod's must be legal (mod plated).

Good luck with the car and welcome to the forums though

hey blair,

no restrictions apply in QLD (yet) for that sort of thing.......

A word of advice though..... Take it easy on the pedals , as the coppers love to book young fullas in import weapons for any reason at all...... And 4 points dont go a long way!!!!! If you get my DRift! :)

wizard79, thanks for the words of wisdom, if i ever do get my "dream machine" like planned I will be as carefull as possible not to get any traffic offences, at least until im off my p's, I am from Emerald in Central QLD, I have been here most of my life, I just didn't know the regulations here and didn't know where to start, so i thought i'd ask here, thanks for clearing that up for me people..... At least i know I'm allowed to have the car i want....

I'll cya all around the forum from time to time :ghost:

Cheers

Blair

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
