Are 280zx turbo P-plate friendly?

I would have thought, no way!

 

But according to Vicroads;

 

Application Required

From 6 July 2009, drivers issued with a probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 may drive some lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. The definition of a lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicle is a vehicle with 6 cylinders or less that is:

 

    turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne

 

Now i know you would have to apply... but damn, that wouldn't be bad for a P-plater considering that;

1,356 kg (2,989 lb) 2+2

(134 kW; 182 PS)) at 5,600 rpm and 203 ft•lbs (275n•m) of torque at 2,800 rpm

 

Another consideration... was the 280zx turbo brought out here?

no, and no if buts or maybies, you can apply for a exemption though but very few are granted

It has to be a factory turbo model and 100% stock to be given an exemption, which would make it a LHD American import, so not allowed.

 

Also even if it meets the criteria you would most likely find that they will still say no because it's a sports car.
