ok the rule goes, if you get your Ps BEFORE 11th July, then you are exempt from the new laws... if you get them AFTER 11th July, then you cant drive turbocharged, supercharged, V8s, high performance 6s, or cars with engine modifications...

its total crap, but i got my Ps before then so YES!!!!!!!!!!

yea this is true, but my fren who just got his green Ps (after 11th july) asked the rta and they told him he was allowed 2 drive a wrx. so im a little unsure bout this law.

sounds to me this is another one of those laws thats gonna be up for interpretation and en-forced when the cops dont like the look of u etc etc etc ..... as id like to see a copper apply this law to those p platers driving porsches and bmw's up in the northern suburbs....

This will open a big can of worms but you have all got it wong...

The title should simply state

in NSW 'p' platers can't drive... :P

Before I get flamed please compare the way you get your license to the rigorous log book that is needed to be done in South Australia, with a qualified driving instructor mind you to, not just your parents saying you did 20 hours this week... and look at the amount of training that goen into actually getting your license.

What needs to change is the driver education system, don't punish 'p' platers for skills they never posessed but you are hoping they will learn... somehow???

EDIT: Since moving over here form Adelaide I've both been amazed and apalled with the ease in which licenses are handed out over here... It really is the system that is shameful...

We have covered this topic many times before, but because I am a nice guy, here are the details....

This was found on the website for the NSW government:

www.nsw.gov.au

>> Transport

>> Licensing

>> Provisional Driver's Licence - P1 & P2

>> P1 and P2 licence conditions (Link on side of page)

NSW Government P1 & P2 Licensing Conditions

This was found on the Victorian Government Website:

www.vic.gov.au

>> Transport, Vehicles & Licensing

>> Vehicles & Licensing

>> Driving Licence (car)

>> Licencing (VicRoads)

>> Getting Your P's

>> P Driver's & High Powered Vehicles

VIC Government P Licensing Conditions

All this information was found within a matter of minutes (like about 5) for BOTH STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will not list the vehicles for both states because they list is too long when you include all of them, but please take the time to read.

NB: COROLLA SPORTIVO IS NOT ON EITHER LIST!!!!!

In short...

NSW:

Click here for the Restricted Vehicles Guide: --> Prohibited vehicles – eight cylinder, turbo and super charged (PDF)

Click here for the Restricted Vehicles Guide: -->Prohibited vehicles – high powered six cylinder (PDF)

VIC:

The catch with the sportivo not being on the list though doesnt necissarily mean they are allow to drive one ..... As everywhere i have read a list of vehicle not to be driven i see written in really small font something along the lines which says that not all cars may be on the list and that you should check with authorities to confirm it or not .... So ok ppl who's ringing the RTA .....

My point exactly..... they will never document all cars and its left to the discretion of the officer ..... Another ambigious law .... Almost as good as the round about laws....

Are there laws for roundabouts? Here in Queensland, it looks like "every man for himself"! :P

Reminds me of a classic tale from my time as an insurance claims person ... a fella rings me to lodge a claim, because his wife didn't give way at a roundabout and cleaned up an innocent person and his pride-and-joy.

I explained to him that his wife would be held responsible, to which he replied, "yeah, the cops said sumfin 'bout that, ay!" Then I asked him about how long his wife has held a licence, to which he replied, "yeah, the cops said sumfin 'bout that, too, how she's never got her licence or nuthin, ay!"

Even if I remembered identifying details, I couldn't tell you anyway, but please, be careful, you never know when this bloke (or worse, his wife or one of the thousands like her) will be on the same bit of tarmac as yourself!

Buddha i know exactly how u feel i sum times think the same thing ..... The worst ones are when i see someone just cane it through a roundabout when i know from the direction they are coming from there is no visible way of seeing if somone was going to be coming from their right..... and thats scary cauz imagine if someone was.....

That's why the worst thing I think any bloody council of shire can do is fill all these new housing estates up with little roundabouts.

I know in the estate that I live in, they actually get used by a certain MX5 and a certain Celica and a certain Lancer as a high speed chicane.

I know I am a floo sometimes on the roads, but never like these knuckleheads inside the estate that I live in... sheez

Absolutely ... a roundabout in good condition, with clear vision in all directions, when its quiet, can be good fun, and you don't have to be over the speed limit to enjoy it.

But yes, the risks some take are just amazing.

I would have said she was guitly for not giving way to the right but she was the first one on the round about and the law states to give way to all other cars already on the round about... again, enough grey area to get you off...

very true dylan i actually thought that yep u definitly have 2 give way 2 ur right .... but since watching the show i might have to back off a little more when ever entering the roundabout even if im sure the person should have given way to me as all it takes is for this argument to come up and it could go either way..... Although in her case the evidence did point towards the fact that the other driver was entering the roundabout at a higher speed than acceptable as did u c the damage and how far it pushed the car......

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
