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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
