i reckon 90% of rego stickers ive seen are way off actual weights...my cousins VX clubsport says its like 1400kg...surely its up around 1600kg

haha ye its all bs

my NA supra says 1100 and my TT Supra has 1510

i got done twice for it.. the police then wouldnt let me drive home and said next time they catch me (strike 3) i get a summonse to court.....

main thing id like to know is was it the same cop both times?

sorry bout the massive pic guys.. if you complain enough, i'll change it to just a hotlink...

haha notice the cops put a tick next to my car to show me :@

lol the cop ripped that out infront of me because my mate told them the Supra RZ is legal for P platers to drive :P he didnt buy it

After looking at the list Ruffels posted, I noticed R32 GT-R isn't listed as cars to be enforced then does this means I can 'legally' drive R32 GT-R on my Ps?

I know R32 GT-R is over power to weight ratio that already make this car ILLEGAL for P-platers to drive so it would seem that this car is excluded from the list of enforced cars.

And also noticed that most of cars police are now enforced are imported under SEVS scheme, this got me wondering that any of 63 Australian delivered R32 GT-Rs are being excluded from the rule?

Could anyone shed the light of the question?

Cheers

give me a minute and i'll scan a list i have of "imported" cars the victorian TMU police have all been given to look out for p platers driving them...

-Ruffels

That list was of imported cars, because the R32 GTR was also a locally delivered model it will be on the main list of cars that are illegal to drive.

Restricted Vehicles Guide for Pre 2004 models (28kb PDF)

So no, you can't legally drive an R32 GTR on your P's

i would imagine that you cannot drive the 1999 Jap spec imported S15's.. as they have around 164kw i think.. how ever the australian delivered S15's only have 147 kw i beleive... therefore putting it under the limit.. and yes, same with S14's

as for the R32 gtr.. it appears on the massive austrlain delivered car banned list on the vicroads website.. however .. yeah that would only apply to the locally imported r32 gtrs i would think... so its strange R32 gtr's arent on tht list!... allthough it does say down the bottom of that list that its not exhaustive...

as for me.. i bought a 1993 R32 gts-4 ... bit of a downgrade from my r33... but can make it work i spose

got done by different cops, but form same police station... second time they pretty much made me walk home, while my car was stopped in a no standing bus bay on the side fo the road... i asked if i could drive it home the 900m.. and they said no.. we catch you again and we will gve you et another high powered vihicle fine, and take you down to the station for repeat offending a crime and you will be ordered to appear in court..

i drew the line there as far as driving the r33 again :(

however it is a gamble, its a rsk you take... i choose red and it landed on black.. so bad luck for me, i just hope you other guys have better luck!

still have the r33.. im just getting it ready to be sold

if i get anymore info on car stats or power/weight stuff i'll post it up.. i have been given adam petetts direct work phone number and was instructed to call him if i had ay queeries about the power weight fines i was given, and why it applied to me... funniest part is.. i live no where near knox, and ive never even met petett... however, apparently he had a very large role in producing that list..

i wonder why the rb26dett stageas arent on there

-Mark

the r33 gtr has the second lowest power to weight on there!

My car's rego says 1300.

And I don't think the fuzz would know that the weights changed in 1991.

Interesting that FC rx7s, all evos other than the VII GSR, Familia GTRs etc aren't on the list.

Doesn't mean anything though, they'll still do you.

HAHAHa nice one.. so true.. the cop opend my bonet and said some shit like he knows its too powerfull cauz it has 5 bolts on the wheels insted of 4.. thats when i was like WDF..

yes because 5 stud indicated turbo, where as non turbos are 4 stud.. however.. that only applies for R33 and upwards as R32 gts-t's are under the limit

but its funny because an r32 gts-t is JUST under the limit.. and you can drive it.. where as you would most likely get bent over by the cops if you got caught driving a car that is JUST over the limit.. so between the cars you can and cant drive there might be 1kw... now good luck telling the difference between them while driving them! but i spose it comes down to the fact that they have to draw the line somewhere... just annoying that where they have drawn the line (125kw/tonne) just eliminates so many cars.. if they increased the limit by a further 10-15kw... the amounts of cars you could drive would be significantly greater!

its funny though because with better technology and materials/engines used in cars .. cars these days are getting more powerful and lighter.. i mean look at the new mitsubishi 380.. isnt that damn close to the power/weight ratio limit?

correct me if i am wrong.. but it just seems like in the future there will be fewer and fewer cars that p platers can drive

-Mark

fark me.. i just had a look on redbook

lol 2005 sportivo corollas are 118kw/tonne hahah thats only 7kw below the limit... they would be little pocket rockets

Just because something isnt on some "concocted" list... doesnt mean you wont get pinned for it.

Its the law, your breaking it so. AUS delivered, Jap... whatever.

Its a GT-R, its over the Power to Weight, end of story.

Have a look at the cars listed... i could think of another dozen cars that arent on there.

And i can gaurantee you anyone caught driving them + an officer that knows whats going on = FINE

This thread is over.

Guys, you wanna drive illegal cars there is nothing that can be achieved about it on here

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
