hey all

I just got my license disqualified last thursday for 12 months,

now i need to know whether or not i will be able to drive my skyline when i get my license back next july?

I have owned the car since last december, and it is registered in my name?

So will I be able to continue driving it, cause i'm not sure if i have to sell it or keep it??

Thanks heaps guys

I dont think there should be a problem. Doesnt it not apply to exisiting P platers, if you had to re-do the test maybe, but i dont think so otherwise...

Hmmm something to investigate

*edit* thinking i might need some sleep, this post doenst make much sence :confused:

If you were disqualified then I think you're in trouble.

From the RTA site: "The prohibited vehicle condition does not apply to:

Existing provisional (P1 and P2) licence holders prior to 11 July 2005, unless they are disqualified for a serious driving offence committed on or after 11 July 2005."

Yeah, but it states in bold, "committed on or after 11 July 2005"...because i got caught driving unlicensed before july 11th, so does it mean if you do a serious driving offence only on or after july 11th you can't drive it?

Hmm...? Might have to give the RTA a call on monday

anyone else know?

yes thats right, if your an old P plater and you get your licence suspended after 11th july and u get it back in 6 months you wont be able to drive any turbo cars or have a passenger.

however if you lost your licence before 11th its ok.

i have heard a few different things going round, the best thing to do is ask the RTA, becasue the way i understand it is, u are ok to drive it when u get it back however u may not carry more than one passenger in the vehicle.

im sure its ok, if u got caught on the 8th, however u got disqualified after july 11th, so im sorry to say but i think ur unlucky. cause i lost mine on the 1st of july and i remember i was saying to everyone how lucky i was not to of lost it after the 11th but i cant remember why. coming to think of it i think ur gonna have to cop it, u did lose it after the 11th, i dont think it matters when the offence was, as they have to give u that 21 days notice of suspension..

if your loose your license for a period of 12months or longer,you will have to re-sit the test and do a full 12months on red P's again,,,not sure about if you have to do another driving test(though i think you might).

Any disqualification is taking from the date of the offence. Not from when you recieve your sentence.

I should know, I recently lost my licence for 6 months and only have 2 months left (yay). And my disqualification period started from the date of the offence. So you should be all good if you got caught on the 8th pal.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
