just check your insurance...

it would be a shame if you were paying out the a$$ for insurance and then you wrote the car off and the insurance company won't pay because you are driving a restricted car...

...but I am sure all you P platers have checked with your insurance companies already...............

just cars insured me no worries... and im sure they are well aware of the implemented restrictions. they also know what mods it has etc....

Yep - thats the risk you take, sometimes they pay, sometimes they don't.

Being that you are breaking the law by driving the car, the insurance company has every right to refuse to pay out in the event of an accident.

On the other hand - I know of several people who have claimed (while breaking power to weight laws) and got $$ no worries.

But will they pay up if you stack....?

yes, they've payed me before.

exactly. so sif keep making these sorts of threads. its been covered like 11 billion times and its the same answers every time. you CAN drive an R33 gts-t on your P's, im proof you can so other are members on here. but its a RISK you take, if you get pulled over and fined for power to weight. bad luck.

that is all.

Just drive it man! I bought my 180sx about 2 months before I got off my P's, and it was modified too so it wouldn't have been under the power to weight ratio, and didn't cop any trouble whatsoever.

You'll be fine

Ey Shane

You would have been over the limit technically, but cops can only go on factory power/weight figures...so they couldn't have given you a fine for it.

Could have reemed you for anything else they wanted to though :)

Yeah the SR20DET 180's are a bit umm and ahh when it comes to the power/weight figures. Some people say its over some say it's under.

But yeah, definately reemed with a lot of other things :)

this might seem a bit stupid, but couldn't you get a dyno printout and showing that its how many kws atw and show that its under the power to weight ratio, even though its not, or does the power figure have to be from the crank???

they go by factory power and weight figures. not what your car actually puts out, or what some dyno sheet says.

Hmmm yeh the common story at the moment seems to be that cops are pretty lenient or ignorant of the power to weight ratio laws and p platers. So it's a minor risk a lot of people take, nevertheless its still a risk.

However, will this all change in June (i think thats when they come in) next year where p platers won't be legally allowed to drive any turboed cars whatsoever?

Do-Luck you were driving a car thats over power to weight for 2 months, i would be driving a car thats over power to weight for 3 years.

lol. dude, just buy one already if thats what you really want. like its been mentioned in every one of these threads, and the threads you've started about it. its illegal yes. but thats the risk you take... i've still got 2 yrs to go on P's, im not worried at all. if i get caught for power>weight so be it. thats my bad luck. but ive been pulled over hundreds of times for "random" checks and the p>w has never..ever... come up...

only if its turbo, im like. yeah. so. lol

yeeepp

thats for new P platers only. current P platers arent affected by that.

so if someone was to get an r33 gts for example, and they modified it so it was over the power to weight ratio, they can't fine you for driving a car thats over the power to weight, because according to the compliance plate it would be a non-turbo which is p-plate legal???

what part of " its based on FACTORY power-weight figures " didnt you understand?

if you got a GTS, and modded it to make more power. it wouldnt matter... coz a GTS is under.

Sorry i didnt read it properly.

But mate relax...no need to get hyped up over a simple question

Just wanted to confirm that..if its so hard to write your post above without having a go at me, let someone else answer it.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
