im a bit curious to exactly how these laws work.

i hear if u get ur Ps in QLD or SA there are no car restrictions.

does this only apply if u live there or only if u get ur licience there.

and can u upgrade from a VIC L to a QLD or SA P?

thanks guys

theres no laws yet on what P platers can and can't drive in QLD, i would assume it would be the same if you got your license in VIC or NSW and moved here, but im just guessing you would need to ring QLD transport and see what they say about it.

Well just off the top of my head I can think of a few problems:

You would have to do your test in Queensland. If you did it in Victoria, then to apply for a qld licence, you would have to go into a qld transport office to fill in the appropriate paper work.

You would have to convince them you are a Queenslander, with evidence of where you live. you can't just put down a postcode, you need a full address.

Your Drivers Licence is your main form of ID. You need to show it when you do anything important with anybody (Gov. agency, bank, etc.). Which would mean you are a Queenslander to them.

I'm not sure how you would get registration for a car in Victoria when you have a Queensland licence. Or insurance for that matter, considering your licence says you live somewhere other than where the car is kept. Could cause problems.

These are just things off the top of my head. In short it is near impossible. Don't bother even thinking about it.

i think QLD transport is thinking of doing the same thing pretty soon. for those who have got their Ps, its not gonna be a problem. BUT if u get it after they bring in the restriction, it would be pretty tough.

So i would say give QLD transport a call and find out what u need to obtain a QLD drivers license. Im pretty sure u do need a residential address as u have to prove u live here.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
