you just found out now your r33 is illegal to drive on p's ?

Hey all, just to clarify this matter for use all... I happend 2 get pulled over not even an hour ago in my R33 by a TMU officer, M. MOOHAN a senior constable from Fawkner. Anyways... he said 2 me that out of the factory my car is illegal due to power to weight ratios... $112 fine and not allowed to drive until fully licenced. Stock out of factory i said?.. hmm.. doesn't my car weigh 1500kgs and have 187kw... do the math and that = 124kw per tonne!.. UNDER THE 125kw limit. Yet my rego specifies that it only weighs 1400.. hmm. dunno wtf is with that? Out of factory you might say.. which means no petrol no water no oil and overall less weight etc etc.. but i'll be damned if u can drive any car out of the factory without petrol, oil and water. So I am absoloutely pisst off as to why my car is weighed in by Vic Roads at 1400 and to why i got that fine and can't drive my car until August (when im fully licenced). On top of all this i asked him why and his like don't give me the figures i don't know, all i know is that by the "book / law the rb25det is illegal to drive on your P's, you can put slabs of concrete in the back of your car its not going to make any difference." And i also quote "i'm lucky that their not allowed to give out demerit points for this fine as yet as it's not in the book" or something along those lines.. but yeh.. just for all you peoples info.. im soo depressed right now.. honeslty.. people out there killing each other.. we have no water here in melbourne households yet factories use a million litres a day.. and cops are worried about a bit of power over weight ratio.. omfg wat has this world come to... moses and jesus would be rolling in their graves! (not that jesus was buried but yeh)

Peace out love use all .. mwa!

Go learn the road laws. And also read up about the car you drive, and what it actually weights... 1500kg's... you gotta be on crack to think an R33 weights that much wet.

All the information regarding the laws is freely accesible over the internet for gods sake, you dont even have to go anywhere to find out but your PC chair.

And its all been covered HUNDREDS OF TIMES :)

Sounds like you got exactly what you had coming to you for not even know

1) The weigh of your car

2) The law surrounding driving it illegal

Thats all i have to say because your so full of incorrect information its astonishing.

I could go on forever but its useless with people who dont even take the time to reseatch before coming here to whinge about something they are totally wrong about.

Phill's contradicting himself because he was sitting at the lights doing nothing, but his plates say LTHLRB? How that is contradicting anything is beyond me...care to elaborate?

Ever think that his car might be lethal at calder where he runs it all the time... :nyaanyaa:

so cops can actually ban you from driving your own car (if over the power/weight ratio) till your fully licensed? i've always thought that you just get a slap in the face with a fine and thats it.

glad i own an r32 :kiss:

yeh, a bit BS i say. i've heard that they needed a court order to ban you from driving your car as they dont have the power to themselves? but seems like im wrong.

hey all.. not here to start arguing or anything - haha i liked the comment about the tissues from safeway, but i brought mine from kmart :laugh:.. anways back 2 the subject at hand... (dunno ur name) R31Nismoid but clarify me on the weight of the skyline "wet".. u said sumthing bout i must be dreaming to think its round the 1500 mark.. not that it matters cos if they went by that weight they'd just jack the power ratio higher... and yeh i happened 2 get pulled over again.. same cop.. nice car tho.. unmarked white ve ss.. very sexy shining in the sun.. just another fine.. no demerit points (thank god!) and yeh.. he remembered me once he saw my licence.. and mentioned this whole forum thingy... he thought it was pretty funny.. so yeh theres a heads up :) HAPPY EASTER EVRYONE.. another 138 days till i can LEGALLY drive my car :laugh:

one more thing. how use always go on about people not knowing wat they're on about when posting on here.. and should get our facts right b4 posting.. and do a search etc etc... well the searchs hardly cum up with exactly wat we want.. like i found this thread for example.. and yeh well i dare say thats why they call it a forum... so we can all communicate and educate each other instead of just putting us down or discriminating :) so people who know the facts like u (R31Nismoid) should set us straight by clarifying the matter instead of just brushing us off in a sense.. bye all!

If you cant work a search button, PM me. I'll help you. Its really quite easy. I use it most days for various reasons.

Wet = a car with fuel/oil etc etc.

The rego sticker is just a joker weight its quite often incorrect. So dont even listen to it

So your saying the addition of oil etc etc would increase the weight, is wrong.

When you look @ factory specs, it will be kerb weight or similar. Thats the true weight of the car. And an R33 isnt 1500kg's wet.

Its closer to around 1400kg from memory. This doesnt include driver... but that doesnt matter for the laws as it goes on a factory weight specification.

And FYI, i've clarified dozens and dozens of times mate, as have others.

People at times get sick of having to re-post the same info once every 2 months or so.

Especially when the information is readily avaliable from VicRoads offices/website. Its not really about knowing the facts when you can get them in under 5 mins.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
