Anyone else notice a vehicle that is missing? Look at my sig. Single turbo and quite capable of 500+ bhp. When RACV insured mine, they had no idea what it was and classed it as a Ford Sedan and I paid $1000 fully comp to insure it.

Having said that, P platers and a lack of turbo is a good idea IMO.

Dont think it covered the R34 GTR Nismo Z-Tune. I was luck in a way with p's as i got them 2 weeks b4 the 3 year crap came in.

Does this list mean they can't drive it, or own it? Both i guess

how are they going to police this ?

Simple. Pull over any p plater that has a car that could possibly be modified or on the list. (note that you can't drive ANY modified car under the new rules..it's not just fast cars banned) With a bit of luck this will get rid of those annoying fart exhausts.

Unfortunatly for the next 3 years there will still be p platers that can legally have the cars, so they better carry rules with them

There are quite a few cars missing I'm sure but you'll note-

Prohibited vehicle condition

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain vehicles while on their provisional licence.

Prohibited vehicles are those with:

   *

     Eight or more cylinders.

   *

     A turbocharged engine (diesel exempt).

   *

     A supercharged engine (diesel exempt).

   *

     Engine performance modifications.

   *

     High performance six cylinder engines.

A list of prohibited vehicles is available to view and download from the box at the bottom of this page.

Please note: the list will be updated as required.

No more m3's and gt3rs as I thought would be the case initially :)

Also the fart exhausts might not be considered "engine mods" but "exhaust mods".

Silly implementation of a valid idea. But what else would you expect from the NSW Govt. and RTA??? :)

Looks like they got the work experience kid and a level 19 clerk to figure it out during their lunch break. Seriously how hard could it be to go through every model of car registered in NSW and filter out the obviously non-performance models?

Counts out several models of Merc, Saab, Volvo etc. that are by no means a performance car.

Bob Carrs report card: "Sets a low standard and consistently fails to achieve it"

bah!

Tell me again why they can't compile a banned car list based on power to weight? I seems that would make much more sense than this system. It may be a little more difficult to compile a list of cars and their power to weight ratios initially, but surely it would be alot easier to police in the long run?? As I mentioned earlier, a Holden HK Brougham with a 253 in it is going to have a vastly different power to weight ratio compared to an Integra Type R. As SW20-GT mentioned, you can still do a hell of alota damage in the family wagon.

Dimwits who want to speed and act anti-socially in their cars are still going to do so. They will be just doing it in cars with crap brakes.

Thats my opinion anyway. (Be it right or wrong!)

power to wieght makes more sense.

Problem is policing it. If they say "any modified car" it is very broad, and can get someone with any modified car, plus the cars on the list (which would have been determined i assume by power to wieght.

The problem would be that if they came across a car that they thought was above the power to wieght, they would need to send you to a dyno to find out if they are right. This way they just get you if it has mods.

Time for the rise of the sleepers!

I'm thinking an SW-20 N/A with huge camms and quad throttles. perhaps a stroker if i can find one and raise the compression through the roof. i'd like to see them pull down the engine to charge the driver with driving a modded vehicle! Oh, and your still allowed to strip the interior and add light weight wheels etc.

Welcome to the new scene people! Gone is the flashy BOV days, hello street sleeper weapon days. and i'm all for it! Nice breath fo fresh air if you ask me.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
