That's spot on, if the mod requires a mod plate then it's a no go till on your opensdillza_69 wrote:from the reading i have done the law states if the modification requires a mod plate then no, not allowed.
I don't live in QLD so I may be wrong
It is a crock of shite, , you can drive a Falcon or Commodre with 190kw but you can't drive a heavy old kingswood with a 253 in it. Go figurechimpboy wrote:No idea but funny if Dillza's right, you can drive a XR6 but not a FJ45 with a crossflow. Funny system.

True, but a new 6 cyl falcon or commodore with more power, is still safer than an old kingswood with a 253 (about 140kw?)Matt_85Lux wrote:It is a crock of shite, , you can drive a Falcon or Commodre with 190kw but you can't drive a heavy old kingswood with a 253 in it.

But they can drive a 6 cylinder Kingswood were your points are still valid. It doesn't make sense at times but then again neither does the current Qld Governmentmike_nofx wrote:True, but a new 6 cyl falcon or commodore with more power, is still safer than an old kingswood with a 253 (about 140kw?)Matt_85Lux wrote:It is a crock of shite, , you can drive a Falcon or Commodre with 190kw but you can't drive a heavy old kingswood with a 253 in it.

ABS vs Brakes with minds of their own
Airbags vs solid dash to stop your face
handling vs boat like handling
I don't know how as the last time I saw teh rules it stated not allowed to drive car that has a mod plate, which is an engine conversion needsTomo_89 wrote:i know a guy in qld that drove a hq ute with a 3.8 vn motor in it? i'd try talking to the transport department
I would be checking that because in that case upgraded brakes, changed seating capacity, seats changed, fuel tank change and a multitude of other things would also not be allowed and most of those could be seen as safety upgrades.Matt_85Lux wrote:I don't know how as the last time I saw teh rules it stated not allowed to drive car that has a mod plate, which is an engine conversion needsTomo_89 wrote:i know a guy in qld that drove a hq ute with a 3.8 vn motor in it? i'd try talking to the transport department
When a friend's son was looking at buying a car late last year the one he really liked had a mod plate for the seats, had racing seats in it. Went to Qld transport to find out what the go was with the rules and was told he wouldn't be allowed to drive that car as it had a modification that required approval (mod plate) and his P plate licence didn't allow him to drive a vehicle with a mod platebooflux wrote:I would be checking that because in that case upgraded brakes, changed seating capacity, seats changed, fuel tank change and a multitude of other things would also not be allowed and most of those could be seen as safety upgrades.Matt_85Lux wrote:I don't know how as the last time I saw teh rules it stated not allowed to drive car that has a mod plate, which is an engine conversion needsTomo_89 wrote:i know a guy in qld that drove a hq ute with a 3.8 vn motor in it? i'd try talking to the transport department
There would have to be an avenue to do a conversion to a later model motor, giving better emissions and similiar power output to other legal p plate vehicles.
Saw the friend's kid tonight and he confirmed with me that when he went to queensland transport he was told by them any car with a mod plate is a no go for P platers regardless of what the mod plate is for.yamaha123 wrote:pretty sure your allowed some mod plates like seats and fuel tanks and that crap just not engine or performance mods

Had a look at the rules the other night and the only way he could have done that is to have an exemption letterTomo_89 wrote:i know a guy in qld that drove a hq ute with a 3.8 vn motor in it? i'd try talking to the transport department
You are eligible to apply for an exemption to drive a high powered (performance) vehicle if:
you need to drive a high-powered (performance) vehicle:
-to, or from, your place of employment
-in the course of your employment
-to, or from, the education institution you attend
-to get medical treatment for yourself or a family member
or
the only car available to you is a high-powered (performance) vehicle:
-that you owned before 30 June 2007 and you have owned since, including the date you apply for the exemption
-that is owned or leased by a member of your immediate family†, or
that an immediate family member† uses as part of an employment or salary package agreement
and
there is no other transport available to you
and
not issuing an exemption will cause severe hardship.
Your traffic history will also be taken into consideration when your application is assessed.
† An immediate family member includes your:
approved carer or guardian
grandparent, or spouse of a grandparent
spouse
parent or step-parent.
Note: A spouse includes a de facto partner.
