Ey,

Next year i will be gettin my L's and me and my dad have been looking around for skylines for a while, and we had come to a decision on getting a R32 GTS-T. But now my dad tells me that the rules are going to be changed in Vic to the same laws as Sydney by the 1st of July. I thought he meant the new hoon laws but he was prettu sure on this so i dunno. Also he said that they are thinking on doing this to L's aswell. Do you know if they will scrap the 125kw per tonne law if this is true. Also iv'e read up on all this and i read in a AutoSalon magazine that if the family car has over 125kw per tonne and you have only 1 family car, you can get away with driving with it. I have emailed Vic Roads about this but they have given me all this auto message crap. Can anyone confirm this? So now this Wednesday we will most likely be picking up an R34 GT Coupe manual just to be sure. Even though this is a nice car id rather a turbo:P. But i would need some quick confirmation on some of this stuff if i was to convince my dad.

Thanx

wonder if i can get my license in tassie coz i have family that live down there, i can say i live there, when on the holidays. They dont have power restriction laws do they? probably should ask in the Tas section:)

but then you'd have to live in tasmania..........

or maybe, learn on a normal car like everyone else, so you dont end up as a statistic..

I think these laws are a bloody fantastic idea. There is PLENTY of time to drive a high power car. Buy a commodore like every other kid on P's and learn to drive, have a ding, learn from it then buy a real car. Thats what 99% of us here did.

My 2c

yes but times change buddy, sports cars are more common and affordable these days

the 125 kw per tonne rule is true, i checked it all out 2 months ago when i bought my 32, and its posted on the vicroads website (also 3 liters per tonne, but i dont think you gotta worry about that) The r32 gts-t is about 1 kw under this law.

As for any new laws, they wont apply for people that are already on there P's with a turboed car, if they do introduce them, only to people who get there P's after its brought in or the car (better be that way anyway, bad enough i cant drive my valiant, id love to see them try telling me i cant drive a car which i just bought)

That might be true but I don't see the relevance, so have VT > commodores. Mine was a VB :) Sports cars might be cheaper but that doesn't mean that P platers have wizened up. Anyway this subject has been done to death so I'm not going to bang on.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
