How are the new NSW government rules on P-platers not owning V8s going to affect you? Also how with the new weight rules apply?
Nice looking truck you've got there.

Jason is the P Plater who sank his blue RR
Maggotts is the 3.9D Isuzu blue RR
Or am I missing the point here?

Nah! It's me. I did confuse Maggot's with Jason's. :oops: :oops:
OK, Jason, how do the new laws affect you?
Ron
Good to see the body damage isn't too bad. How do GQ axles fit into the rangie? Do you need to change the whole diff? and, will it work for the disco?
DAS from Overkill Engineering is just putting Nissan diffs under his 4 door RR.Quote:

If it can be done to a RR then it can be done to a Disco.

I am 31yrs old have been driving since I was 16 due to an unforseen incident with a police radar(yes I was speeding), I lost my licence.
I didn't renew it in time to get it back after the dequalification period as I didn't need a licence care of a back injury. The government chops and changes it's mind on P-platers more times then a whore removes her knickers in a bordello. First of all I had to sit the test for a new licence, then after moving from S.A. to N.S.W. I was told that I would have to hold the Red P-plate for 12mths then move on to Green P's(no not that kind of P [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] )
S.A. regs say I only need hold P-plates for 12mths, if the Government wants to change the rules on me owning and driving a Range Rover with a v8 in it then I guess for an intense purposes I will live in S.A. (ssshhh on paper anyway :wink: )
I cant see how they will be able to police such changes anyway except for not allowing us to register them. P-plates will just start getting older people to register them in their name(MUMMY!!!! :cry: 8O [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] )
I doubt you will have a problem Jason, you had the vehicle before the regs came in and you are not really a p-plate driver. Matt

I think the Vic regs are the best, the ban is on High Powered cars, power to weight etc, not just a blanket "V8" rule.
Also you can drive at the posted speed limit from day one I believe, not this mobile road block of 90kph in a 110kph zone. Thats far more dangerous for other drivers, and how do you learn to control a car at speed if your not allowed to do that speed?
I think power to weight ratio will be the only real fair way of enforcing it. I mean, some of these for cylinder turbos will have a better power to weight ratio than a rangie. It will need some fine tuning before they intorduce it. matt
