Confused about P Plate Laws

[riceball]

your quoting P platers that had their license before the new laws came in. I know for a fact that if you are under the new laws, anything that had something to do with mods, is not legal.
Should of just bought a type R

type r wuld be so much easier. ahahha

but of what i HEARD, you can get a mod plate for your seats (recaros, brides etc) but you cannot do any mods to the engine cos its ****ed up p plater laws.

build a fully worked out b16a then shove it in! hahaha it wuld look stock:P

I'm just going to quote myself cos I can't be bothered writing it out again.

National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction & Modification.

Bookmark it. Read it.

Just to clear up a few things for people.

Engine Replacement
You can replace your engine with a replacement new, used or reconditioned engine of the same type. Also an equivalent factory optioned engine for that model, with out the need for certification.

Performance Engines
Fitting of a replacement engine with more than 20% greater weight and/or power output than the engine offered by the manufacturer as a standard or optional engine requires certification.



As EG Civic's weren't constructed in Aus with a B-series engine, legally you need a mod plate to put one in. Therefore legally no, P-platers aren't allowed to have one.

Yes you may get away with it for a while, but there is a very good chance that a cop will take 1 look at it and tell you to start making calls for someone to come pick you up. With the introduction of the new P-plate vehicle power restrictions a lot more cops are being taught what cars/engines you are and aren't allowed to drive. So having a big "DOHC VTEC" embossed on a rocker cover kinda gives it away...

Also, yes you're allowed a mod plate for seats, but no you can't put a B-series in it. You can however put any D-series engine in without needing a mod plate.

EG6's were never released in Australia and are classified as an import. You're allowed to drive a genuine one. But good luck finding one. The NCOP applies to Aus released vehicles and their components.
