If you add lets say 130kg of lead somewhere in the car to bring it to 1.5 tonnes, and register it at that weight, will a r33 gts-t then become legal on your P's (125kw/tonne, 187kw)?

[jon771]

anybody know?

[Guest DJW]

when u register the car, vicroads are clueless, my MR2 turbo was registered with a tare weight of 1400kg

u can tell them how much it weighs, just tell them u can help with the paperwork!!

I wouldn't worry bout driving R33 GTST on p's

only concern is experience, but more importantly, maturity.

Hope u make right decision!

When i say maturity, if u have mates in car egging u on, are u strong enough to ignore them or tell them where to go, most mis-haps happens from lack of responsibility!!.

[jon771]

So you could just state that it weighs 1500kg? Or would you need documents to prove it (ie, have it weighed somewhere)?

[Guest DJW]

u don't need any proof, well, the attendant that completed paper for MR2, which was 2 years ago,

i simply told my importer to tell them that the weight was 1400kg

ive forgotten exact figure, but thats what ended up on the rego.

cops don't know exact power distributed from cars anyway, import cars are grey imports, they have a listing of illegal cars, eg... WRX, GTO, Ferrari, etc, they also list GTR's

Anything that was australian delivered.

As for skylines, R33 GTST, they wouldn't know power output.

Just place the weight up high!!

[jon771]

So you need to get your importer to declare its weight?

[Guest bzy_29t]

Are you serios? Never knew that law existed in VIC, in NSW more flexible..hehehe

good luck man

[Guest DJW]

nah, my importer did cause he organised all the paperwork and registration into my name

whoever registers the car and takes it through the pits, does it

u can do it!!

[jon771]

Providing that you actually weigh it down then, would it then become legal?

[Guest DJW]

ohhh, i just remembered, i registered my R32 GTR back in January, and the registration forms u fill out, it lists everything there, then u show up for the meeting time for the pits, go there 10min early, and they will get u to fill the forms out, u just fill them in, and enter ur weight, they aren't going to question u

ive got a top mount T78 turbo, and the inspector asked if my car was a turbo :shake: :shake:

haha

if u want hand registering it, happy to help!!

[redline2003]

theres no point going to all that trouble, vic cops dont even care bout power to weight ratios for p platers, they more concerned bout exhaust decibel rate, car being too lowered etc. but then again they could wisen up.......

[jon771]

Haha thanks

Yeah, there probably isn't, but I'd rather actually try and get it vaguely legit in case that they were to randomly start cracking down on it.

This only applies if you personally import and register the car then I'm assuming (rather than re-register a car thats already been imported).

[Guest DJW]

yup, thought that was wat u were referring to opps

other answer, hide, just be smart about where u drive and when, T78.... im careful!

[jon771]

Yeah fair enough. But it general, I would be fine if cops pulled me over and everything was good (ie, sound sytem had engineers certificate) and they wouldnt be worried about the power yeah?

[Guest DJW]

shit no, cops pull u over, no matter what u show them, they can dick u anyway they want.

One of my mates was given canary, and had to get exhaust tested, suspension, etc

well, his exhaust was legal, so he kept the db test form in his car, cop pulled him over again, he showed it, and they didn't give a shit

its called, REVENUE RAISING

bring back jeff!!
