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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
