New P Plater rule...Banned Cars List.

[OC]

Hey guys,

Just an update on the legislation. Here are some things I have found.

Banned Cars List

Thers the link. Now down to the very important question of, are they the only cars prohibited? Because I own a Stagea RS Four, and its not on the list. That mean its not banned?

you own a stagea rs4....at 16?? how the hell can you afford one of those??? or does mummy and daddy pay for it??

[Tosh]

never fear!! you can still rip around in a BMW M3 CSL if you like

or a Porsche GT3

[Ruffels]

fark.. theres over 3200 cars on that list... no way are they gonna be able to police that....

[always_me]

There could be many reasons why he can afford it!!

i was acting alot when i was younger, and at 16 i could of afforded any car i wanted!, not everyone gets their parents to buy them things, sad thing is, i had more money then, than i do now haha... not having a go at ya dude, just adding my 2 cents worth.

[OC]

No my parents didnt actually. But thanks for the comment. The good ppl down at McDonalds did!

Phew! Looks like I don't have to sell the Zed

The RTA doesn't seem to pay much attention to detail. If I read that list right, P-platers can still drive an 89 model 300ZX TT and an R32 GTR built between 89 and 91?

But they're banned from driving an automatic R33 GTR!

Nice one RTA. I don't imagine Constable Plod will give a stuff (that your 1989 GTSt isn't banned) , but you could argue it in court!

This legislation is soo pathetic !!

Anyone in pretty much any car can speed... it may just take a little longer...

how is it that 350Z and many others are not there but a 3 Cyl 990cc Charade is???

[Tommyk]

because its all about politics

Turbos and V8's are bad, even if they put out less power than v6's

[Guest tkch55]

an alternative for p-plate ferrari drivers' the honda NSX

oh and i'm sure it's faster than quite a lot of cars in the list too!

[Guest tkch55]

seems like they missed out on the r32 gts4 too!

[Bekkyboop]

Yeah i noticed that.... The only honda banned was the city turbo.... the suzuki cappucinno was banned too... HAHAHHAH - lil old 3 cyl turbo... power to weight mean nothing to these ppl? Or is it just that they are a turbo or v8? doesnt make sence cause if you have driven in the VTEC Hondas you'd know the power they have...

SHHH about the VTEC, yo lol.

The list is stupid, notice the SR20DET 180SX is not on there either? Only the CA18DET... And for whoever said about the NSX, it's banned in a seperate list called "high power 6 cylinder vehicles" - that list includes the likes of the M3, M3 CSL, NSX, etc...

Anyway, I forsee lots of debadged/rebadged (with NA badges ) skylines/turbo cars, black painted FMICs, plumb back BOVs... etc etc... hehe

[Kel]

It's just rules made by people who have no idea.

A few years ago I had trouble getting insurance on a 9-3 Saab, because I was under 26 and it had a (low pressure) turbo.

[skyr31]

Politics! the old 253 holden boat anchor is banned but an Integra Type R is not??

I predict this new system is going to cause a major paper trail for the authorities...

[eXc]

CA18 180sx is banned, but not the SR20 haha

Also, 1990 R32's are banned, but not 1989s ? Are there actually 89 model R32s ?? Or are they 90 models, built in 89...either way, does this rule exclude them then?

[nedb]

I have an 89 model R32.

Does this mean the price of my car will go up compared to a 90 model coz P platers will be able to drive it.

Also, I just noticed, R34 four door in not listed nor are Toyota Chasers and Mitsubishi Legnum's. Mmmmm.
