Well from my experience they check the rego sticker for car information?

Also - can anyone else confirm that rego stickers for S2 skylines are 1600KG? (I presume they are all the same?).

i dont think you're going to get off on the rego sticker....as far as cops are concerned, R33 GTS-T's are over the power to weight limit (and they're correct)

But it would help with the argument that the car is 'legal', especially if the officer isn't 100% certain. Would help even more if you had a GTS rego sticker, just say "errmm no, my car is a GTS not a GTST" :(

You have an S2 don't you? Able to quickly check? :(

yeah i could check, but i really do not see the point

you're saying you want to register your car as something its not, to beat a possible $100 fine...

if you dont want to take the risk, get an R32

Well if the car's registration actually says that it is 1600KG, and the S2 Skyline on stock specs makes it possible for a P plater to drive, doesn't that mean the car perfectly legal?

Just because GTST's aren't legal, doesn't mean that all variations are illegal too. I think if your rego sticker stated the weight of the car was fine for the power to weight ratio, the coppers would feel a little un easy giving you a fine.

well i think its obvious the sticker is wrong...and given the fact that its well known ALL R33 GTS-T's are over the limit

my cousins VX clubsport has about 1250kg on the rego sticker....and i think we know thats a very ambitious figure....

It's a good point... If the sticker said it's a GTS, then they surely couldn't fine me for driving a GTST? (Even if it is, how would they be 100% sure).

Who knows. Some cops are assholes I guess.

EDIT - Yeah, I'll just take my chances. See millions of skylines with P plates up, hopefully I can just fit into the crowd... :(

its like beating my head against a wall..

I'll put it as simply as possible.

ALL R33 GTS-T's are OVER the power to weight limit. If you are on your P's in Victoria, and are caught driving one, the cop has every right to fine you for doing so. There is NO WAY to beat the rule.

If you want to attempt to register your car as a GTS, then by all means go for your life...just be sure to tell vic roads that the engine number is wrong, and then be ready to answer the barrage of questions that follows....

:(

lol...

Relax, it was just an idea that came to mind. You said it's not possible/etc. I believe you. I probably wouldn't have tried even if there was a high chance of it been possible.

As I said, I'll just take my chances. A lot of others seem to get away with it, so hopefully I can too.

thats more like it

I'm a p plater. my car is over the power to weight ratio (by SFA but its still over). I knowingly break that particular law, everytime i drive my car.

If i happen to get done for it, then so be it. I will not argue with it whatsoever as its pointless, and will lead to the officer getting me for everything else under the sun as well.

Im yet to be pulled over in my car....however, drive like an idiot will give them more reason than they already have to pull you over, and then it'll be time to bend over.

You're probably one of the first P plater skyline drivers I have heard of who hasn't been pulled over.

Hopefully they don't get you either.

Guess it depends on what area you're from, how you drive and just how lucky you are really...

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
