^^afta july 2007 all learners will have to provide evedence that they have done there 120hr's. P plate laws are afta july 2008.

yer read all of the top n it says what u need to know

For everyone that wants to know it's 109ish RWKW for a STOCK VL turbo...you lose 30% give or take by the time the power goes from the fly wheel to the diff

[ OMGVLT ] thanks heaps for posting im sure alot of guys wont abay the laws and most of them will be riding a pushbike around LOL i guess its a risk il take agen thanks been wnating to about that cause there have been heaps of romours

To make it clear by reading the above you will find that: 1. From July 2007 the new law on restricted cars (ie no turbos, superchargers etc) comes in 2. Frtom July 2007 the new 120 hours for L platers comes in 3. From July 2008 The new 2 stage P Plate licencing system comes in

isn't the power to weight ratio calculated at the flywheel and not the wheels?

Yeah its calculated at the flywheel, not wheels.

I believe although my generation (21+yo) has excaped this by a few years i reckon its a great law and it came at a good time.. Theres too many si****s out there on the roads these days that ive seen with my own eyes so theres no excuse, and its ruined it for a lot of others.. I had a wakeup call 2 years ago when i rode off my beautifully running, perfect condition vs clubsport that i poured $ after $ on and although noone was hurt and the car was totalled its sad to say that most of the time p platers who think they are bulletproof even for a minute need a wakeup call like that, I didnt give 2 sh!ts about the car at the time and believe me it can end up tragic and for what?? A bit of metal on wheels? Nothing is more valuable than a human life, especially not a car..

I have my l's now so im clear of that but get my p's in September so after july does that mean i need to start using the log book? Or is it for ppl that get their l's after that date.?

If the learner permit is issued before 1 July 2007 this requirement will not apply.' Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i got my p's in jan of this year.. so basically i have to drive a vlt thats under 125kw per tonne.. is that alot? because i was looking to get a calais vlt in a few months.. so lets say i get one with rb30et engine, rebuilt turbo, 3" exhaust, pwr trans cooler, hybrid front mount intercooler, etc etc.. does that sound like it would be more then the 125kw per tonne? thanks

xtc_jet - You can drive anything on your L's because technically the fully licenced driver next to you is in control of the car!

anyone know about my situation? heres the law: a high powered vehicle is considered to be any vehicle with a power to weight ratio over 125 kw per tonne, or with an engine capacity to weight ratio over 3.5 litres per tonne

this might help, i dont no how many of u guys get the maroondah journal but i was reading through it today n saw this: shi/t cause it effects me right afta i brought my vl turbo... ill try get an exemption lol say i need it for work to tow a trailer or sum bull**** lol. (if it didnt work) the newspaper says " starting this month, new p-platers cannot drive cars with 8 or more cylinders, with turbocharged or modified engines, and cirtain high performance 6 cylinder cars. "getting young ones out of V8s and away from turbo engines means the legislation really has some teeth to it now," senior constable Salmon said. " there are big fines and demerit points involved. We think it will make a big difference." For more info, go to www.arivealive.vic.gov.au" **** cause it effects me right afta i brought my vl turbo.... ill try get an exemption lol say i need it for work to tow a trailer or sum **** lol.
