you cant drive anything that is classed as high performace in NSW on p plates, so thats no turbos, no V8s etc,
if you get caught it is 3 points gone and a fine, cant remember how much the fine is though

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 4:17 pm**

You can apply to VicRoads to get an exception unsure of the exact conditions tho.

One of my mates has a VE SS ute on his P's but as he is a subby with an ABN he is allowed to drive it according to VicRoads.

Black cooler, turbo badges off, they wont look twice.. Unless your gutter-to-guttering it down the street

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 5:11 pm**

$1000 fine! Is that for real or you heard it from a mate of a mate?

Thats fucked up. Back in my day (Im old

) I had a turbo EB and a 351 powered XF on P plates and never had an issue. I didnt even worry about getting dicked for the power to weight thing.

That is the 125kW/Tonne

Looks like Timmy is right. $1137 / 10 penalty units.

Thats a **** load of penalty units. Explains why all P platers have shitty cars lately.

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 6:06 pm**

I spose its up to the cops what they wana do you for. They probly change it all the time. Id say for a P plater, a fine would be the most damage?

laws are funny, i cant legaly drive and old XE with a V8 but i can legaly drive the XR6 and it would easily wipe the floor with the XE

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 8:39 pm**

it says a maximum penalty of 1100, so im guessing itll be slightly less maybe? lol not tht it makes much difference, its still huge! Got a quote of $800 from AAMI, under my old mans name with me being a listed driver, they just rape you for excess if something happens, like an extra $700 or something. Its nt going to be whored too much though, petrol is killer, and having a gas car in the family helps heaps, so ill prolly just take this one when i feel like it, and borrow the old ladies car for longer trips and stuff.

Onto the next question. It needs a slam bad, i ordered a set of Ultra's todai, but wondering if getting them compressed a bit more is worth it. I was told by a mate with a commo that getting ultra's compressed makes the coils touch and bottom out on decent bumps and stuff..

Otherwise the car is great, still pulls hard looks, being all jacked up?? dunno why?? maybe P-Plates... but yeah also mauled a 180sx todai...

:D

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 9:16 pm**

You'll want to compress the rears at least, fooooor sure.
The arse sits too high otherwise.
Whack em in though and see what you think, rears are a piece of piss to change.

Posted: **March 2nd, 2009, 9:29 pm**

My mate has bentls' old springs in the rear of his BA which i think are ultra's compressed 2 inchs.

Il get a pic and post up but it sits awesome its slammed and the ride is still smoother than a stock e-series.

Posted: **March 4th, 2009, 7:23 pm**

ultras are ok looks wise but slamed is so much better.

mine is pretty low and rides ok

Yes, not too sure about them being a V8 diesel...or turbo V8..

Posted: **March 5th, 2009, 5:09 pm**

i think you might get caught with that one, the whole having 8 cylinders will override the diesel

Posted: **March 6th, 2009, 3:11 pm**

they only have 175kw i think

Posted: **March 6th, 2009, 9:16 pm**

you can flash tune a turbo diesel F250 and run 13's!
