    also a cam if not that high ratio rockers, and obviously a full exhaust, depending on nsw rules aswell

    If you are really worried about what is legal for green P platers, get in touch with NSW RTA. Their technical people have direct access to what is and is not legal for you.
    Just by the way, I am under the impression that mods for increasing performance are not allowed, for P platers, at all.

    It's said that no superchargers or turbos or high powered v6 whatever the limit is for "high powered" is haha I got 1.98 rockers in my vu mine still revs the same at 100kms maybe at a stretch a couple hundred lower but the cops can't pull your motor apart looking for a cam or stroker kit so go as hard as your wallet will let you haha

    lolwut?

    changing the rockers wont effect the revs your car does at 100kms.

    but all the stuff that you would do to not get caught is all in this thread, but yeah you arent supposed to have any performance enhancing mods.

    Yep I was told any performance mod while on your Ps is illegal.
    If they pin you on the exhaust be a nerd and say its a High-flow exhaust to improve fuel eco or the old one had a cracked weld and it had to be replaced.
    also think about insurance. If you crash and you have not noted this to the insurance company about the mods, bye bye insurance

    You may want to rephrase the title of you're thread.

    You clearly don't care about what legal modes you can do, you actually want to know what mods you can do, legal or illegal, that you probably won't get found out for.

    In direct response to your thread question.

    No performance modifications are allowed on P's. Period.

    Save your money, wait till you're off your P's and either a) get something that already goes hard or b) mod till your hearts content.
