    Unless someone here works for the RTA (or called them up and found out), you'll only get guessed answers. Just call them, takes 5 minutes.

    i called them a wee bit back and they said that anything that needs engineering is only p-platable if i have an exemption so then i need to apply when im on my p's...

    but just think, if i put in racing seats, i have to modify the rails, which means engineering, which means exception application.. kinda stupid

    im not sure if NSW rulse are the same as VIC rules if they are then no because its a performance modification.
