I had my r33 on my p's and was fine. That said it was only in the last 6 months or so of my p's that i had the car as i owned an na celica before that. I don't reccomend one as a 'first car' but to assume every p plater is an idiot and will crash is pure speculation. If you are sensible enough you will be fine. A mate of mine got pulled over in his rex on his p's and just got a $50 fine, this was a couple of years ago though so rules may have changed now.

Everyone seems to be so anti drving of a turbo car or more specifically a skyline on your p's cos its 'illegal' but i reckon half of the skylines that people on here have have something if not a few things 'illigal' about them anyways. Seems a bit oxymoron.

to assume every p plater is an idiot and will crash is pure speculation

Personally, I don't limit my speculating to just P-Platers. When I am on the road, I assume EVERY driver is an idiot and will crash. The amount of crashes I have avoided by just assuming every driver on the road is about to cut me off, pull out in front of me, brake heavily for no reason, veer into oncoming traffic, etc. is just astounding.

In answer to the original post, I wouldn't risk losing my license by driving a car I'm not supposed to, and I'd recommend the same to you. There are plenty of decent non-turbo, non-V8 cars for NSW P Platers, and plenty of good cars under 125kw/tonne for VIC drivers...

...and plenty of everything for the rest of Australia's P-platers!

Yeh i think that is a fair enough statement i think along simulalr lines to when i'm driving but i was reffering to a p plater having a skyline and just running into a pole - some may most probably won't. IF the fines are loss of licence then its prob not really worth it but its up to the driver really, if they wanna run the risk (i did) then so be it. I was planning on getting my line when i turned 21 and off my p's but i sold my previous car a lil earlier than i expected.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
