Hellow fellow liners,

Currently own an R32 GTS and looking to upgrade to a GT-R :P

The problem is its 15kw over my 125kw per tonne limit.

Ive been told i can remap the ecu so the output of power is less and ill fall under the limit.

Is this possible?

Any help/advice/abuse welcome.

Cheers.

the ban is based on factory power output and not current or dyno'd power.

while it is possible to own one, sit in the driver seat, rev it, spool up some boost, and be in awe of all of your friends it is certainly not legal to drive one on the roads.

not to mention its a f**king bad idea as far as safety is concerned

not to mention what you hit when you slide at 80km/h cos youve boosted it and the 4wd has snapped it back into line when you've lost traction, its only a matter of what do you hit, a tree, a wall? someone else's car? a child?

honestly mate i couldnt care less about what sort of driver you are or how good you think you are or arent. im sure victor bray was the same when he was on his p's too. the matter of fact and the purpose of this thread, was could you drive a skyline GTR on your plates, and the simple answer is no

legally you cannot.

Thats so wrong. Here in canberra you can drive ANY CAR YOU WANT on your p's. My mate had a r32 GTR 3 years ago when they were hell expensive, and rare as fcuk! He was only 17 years of age, and he never had any problems with it? Again, its the attitude. Depends where you live too man, i suspect your in VIC because of the power/weight and then if thats the case, you cannot drive a GTR. Tough break really:P Move to canberra, how about thhat for an idea?

any other opinions?

Its not a matter of opinion.

If your concern over owning a GT-R is because its over the power to weight limit, then your issue is whether its legal.

And that's not a matter of opinion. The law is pretty f**king black or white.

You're fishing for an answer you'll like, rather than one that's accurate, if someone tells you where you stand legally and you start asking for other opinions. You might get an answer more to your liking, but it will be wrong.

It sounds like you're not mature enough to drive any sports car. Another opinion, since you asked, is that you should trade your car in and buy a Corolla.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
