Hey just wondering have any of u guys attempted to apply for an rta exemption in nsw? for a CE either turbo or supercharged? if u did how did it go ? and are there any1 here who drives a turbo/super lancer on their p's ? i just wanna know the situation with exemptions seeing if its easy or not to apply for one .. if it is.. ill just wait it out until im on my fulls .
 
Wait till your on your fulls.

IMO, doing anything with the RTA other than the norm is a nightmare. Also, you will need a reason, and the reason will need to be valid, not just "I wanna turbo car coz fully hecktosss and pulling babes yo"
 
what about if its kinda of a legit reason ish? mum has a car, ders a turbo lancer at home but she uses it on weekends and i need to go work on weekends and ders no public transport from wer i live on weekends , and business is bad for parents , cant afford to buy a car
 
lol sounds super legit. bet you and every other p plater in australia who wants a turbo car have had brilliant success.

Not saying dont try it. Im just saying its not worth the effort. Just drive the car like a normal person and dont get pulled out doing stupid stuff.

If your car looks like this

You will have a problem.

If it looks like this

You wont.
 
but when u apply for it u have the address on the form of where u live, what if there is no public transport ? mhmm so no1 here has ever applied before?
 
i can take off the evo 6 spoiler so it looks stock, but it still has a massive intercooler at the front ..., not to mention the high flo exhaust is loud as well .. ?
 
You got no chance, the rta are pr#@ks same as the ato , they couldn't give a rats about your situation they just want your money and that's it. They proberbly advise ya mum sell her car and get a non turbo or some rubbish like that. Even if for some miracle you could get an exemption then the insurane would near be an impossibilty being on your p's +turbo.

* anyways what happened to your mirage with the brass button clutch?
 
yehhh.. i got an insurance quote from just car insurance for the car... around 3.2k a year comprehensive.. but i hear usually ppl just get 3rd party as a stock lancer for around $500-$1k being on p's? seeing as paying $1k+ a year isnt really worth it for a lancer?
 
yes a few of my close mates have this exemption.
but it does not work to your advantage.

friend #1 works in a small car dealership specialising in imports. he traded in his type R, and was given an evo 6.5 to drive around for work to promote the business, aswell as commuting to and from his home address.

his business manager applied for the exemption for him, and it was granted, but they went pretty indepth, e.g he was only allwoed to drive the vehicle during work hours on work days, and only around the area or to job locations. if he was caught driving during night time or in another location that is not his home or work address, the privelidge would be removed, and license disqualified.

friend #2 works in a trade (as do i)
his main role was to deliver parts/goods/accessories/supplies to job locations, using work vehicles. those vehicles were SSv8 commodore utes, and i think a petrol injected turbocharged van. not sure what model, might have been mercedes, anyway.. same thing he got the grant, but only allowed to drive to and from work and during work hours.

kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me, having a performance vehicle and not being able to drive it.
oh, not to mention how many times the evo gets pulled over and has to show documents etc to prove that he is legally able to drive.

they were lucky enough to get the exception, alot of applications are rejected from people giving the same excuse, as Tron said. my friends got these not long ago, so im sure they are pretty strict on it. if you were lucky enough to apply ages ago and theres no rules to follow, then you must be hella lucky haha
 
aww okay , was just checking .. then again evo on p's is sus , stock turbo lancer ce not so sus ? jkz.. i dont wanna break the law, already lost liscence once for speeding 2-3km over on public holiday last year... which is pretty redic ..

Stock turbo CE???? That just screams, "Im a fully sick P plater who turbod his lancer so he can rip skids and show off"
 
oh by stock i meant physically stock, as in looks sleeper.. but under the hood different story... and im not a p player driving a turbo to rip skids.. if i cant drive it i wont.. ill just leave it in garage and hope to the cargod i can find a car for under $500 with rego, turbo ce aint mine, jst happened to be one of a mates project car that he doesnt use much
 
applied for one and got it too go too and from work in a factory turbo 929 luce' i ownded that was visually far from stock, got letter from employee and sent away form and success!

kinda not exactley stealth but never got pulled up :D

You've got SFA chance of getting an exemption to do a turbo or a supercharger conversion. It's one thing to get an exemption to drive a factory turbo car because that's all you have access to, but they will laugh at you if you try to get an exemption so you can convert the car to a turbo. I had trouble just getting a car rego'd because the receipt from the previous owner gave me a hand written receipt. Just suck it up and wait till you're on your opens, it's not that far off.
 
im not getting an exemption to convert the car to a turbo.. i dont have cash to buy a cash and some1 else is giving me their car that they dont need that already has a turbo? its roadworthy with engi cert n everything .. so ur saying a nsx is easier to get exempt for than a lancer glxi turbo?
 
Its ya mum, its a mates, its a mirage, its a lancer, evo 6 wing + big cooler, it looks stock Wtf you are confussing the heal out of me . just saying.
 
Maybe I misunderstood what you are looking at doing but it's not real easy to translate the "ders" and all the other text speak. Still, you're probably in for a tough time convincing the RTA, and even if you do, there will be very strict terms of when you can and can't drive it.
