and the other is for me for i dont realy care on the power but i dont mind the kick.

iam after r33's but not sure on the years.

is there any skyline r33s with turbo that a p plater can drive in victoria?

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

.iam very mix up on which is best to spend more and have less worries or the cheaper way?

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.

some one sent me a pm about buying and told me to go for the 1996 models

i dont mind the R32's but i rather a new car because i'm driving a '90 EA falcon S pack atm

but i pre had a VL witch was a dream untill it blowen up on the freeway

ps i wasn't speeding lol dam lemon

made grate juice stanes on the road tho :(

but i'm not sure what R33 i want

eg... turbo, non turbo...

btw do the R33 come with semi/automatic?

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
