is it better to buy off a car dealer in australia were i can test it out etc. or import them througth a company?

lbfalcon maybee you should come to Victoria before you start throwing the laws around. That law wont be in place till next year and after the NSW Death Toll on P plater Drivers theres a chance it may never come in... but for now you can drive turbo cars in Victoria the only problem is Power to weight ratio.

P platers can drive R32, R33 not sure about R34 though having 206kw.. but i have seen a fair few P platers driving them around.

sweet thanks

it saves my little bro getting the car inpounded

so i will buy stock for him

thanks guys

a stock R33 is over the power to weight limit. therefor a p-plater in victoria cannot drive one legally. end of story.

You might want to read his post properly before you tell him not to 'throw laws around'.

He is 100% spot on. NO factory turbo R33 can be driven by a victorian p-plater. They are over the power to weight limit. period.

i think i will just buy him a stock none turbo to save him getting pulled over all the time

but he can allways put one on later any way

it will be safer for him any way

thanks

R32 turbo's are legal to drive on P's as far as I know but still wouldnt be reccomended as a first car.

Don't by a non-turbo expecting to turbocharge it later, you'l regret it. Better to sell it and buy a turbo model.

lbfalcon is correct. R33's are over the power to weight ratio. I was pulled over for it when I was on my P's.

if your getting a R33 get a Series 2, have ABS and air bag..plus more importantly looks more modern....

try going for 40th aniversary model and Ho...forgot to tell you, if you follow the skyline scene the R33 value has plummeted......i mean gone down like mad.......so great time to buy....

got GTST S2 for 16500 (4 months ago).....and love it...

:(

i think the r33 is a much better GT car than the R32 and silvia.

ABS is an option....its not standard on S2's

you may wanna learn your laws before you try correct him also...

R33's are ILLEGAL to drive. the p platers you see driving them, are driving them ILLEGALLY.

The R33s are newer = better.

The only reason why some consider R32 better is cos they are smaller (crappier too ;)) car :bunny:

comments like these shit me and the amount of slurs coming from r33 owners on this forum suprises me.

Not everyone wants to follow the crowd like a tool and buy the cheapest S1 burgandy r33. :O

A big mystery as to why the r33 are dropping price ;)

r33's are illegal for p-platers but they still tend to drive them. Although with the new p-plate laws next year the cops may get more strict on the power/weight law.

I suggest to look into an r32 if he would like to be legal.

Well maintained r32's have been floating around 13-15k dollar value for many years and havent had any major decline as of yet.

Good luck in your search :(

how is your comment any better than his?

The amount of R33 bashing from R32 owners on this site is the real joke.

But how dare the R33 owners argue back and defend their choice of car... ;)

fair enough i lashed out cause im sick of hearing all the slander towards the r32's

If the r33's would want to argue at least put some evidence as to why they are crap. I wouldnt have over-reacted if the poster at least stated his reason as to why.

The original poster seems to be now deciding over both models and a comment like that wouldnt be helping. So why dont i post a comment worth the exact value as the slander in regards to the r32

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
