look man i got my red P's 6 months ago, and i got an exemption to dirve my skyline, and that skyline only. i am not entitiled to drive any other turbo car, so even if i sell my current skyline and buy another i wnt be allowed to drive the new 1. so there are small exceptions that may allow u to drive a turbo car. 1-owning the car b4 the rule came out 2-needed for work purposes 3-any other valid reason u may present to them.

but to drive a turbo skyline on ur P's is like handing the police ur license. the fine on the first offence is around $350 and 7 POINTS. thats first ofence. so realisticaly speaking either apply for an exemption (if u think you have a valid reason). otherwise simply dnt take the risk, unless u feel like losing ur license for 3months everytime u get pulled over randomly(which is pretty often in a skyline lol)

Once apon a time (a year ago) i owned a s2 r33 silver aged 17 had been pulled over up to 3 times in a night. I got defected, fined the lot.

Driving on a main road in kirrawee, booted it up to the speed limit along side a friend, cop called it racing. took me to court lost my license for 1 year.. now i cant drive a turbo car anymore due to new restrictions.

They impounded my r33 and even put me in the leader. Costed me 4000$ in the end in fees. I couldnt believe how wrongly accussed i was. amazing what police can do if they want to. (no radars, 1 cop 1 story. by bye car / license.)

Depending on where you live i dont think its possible to not get pulled over in 3 years in one of these cars.

ITS NOT A GOOD FEELING having a nice r33 sitting in ya back yard under cover only because there is some size 8 print on the back of your damn license.

I handed in my exemption form as i owned the car before july 2005 and had it registered in my name at the time of the offence, which are both grounds for exemption.

Wish me luck

U noe racing doesnt have to mean speeding....

i could "race" every car off the lights just to see who can get to the speed limit fastest.

not trying to put u down or anything, just saying that its not like the cop didnt have legitimate grounds to throw the book at you.

Ive lost my licence too for a while (driving on expired licence) and that wasnt fun, but hey you learn from your mistakes and id say im alot more aware of breaking the rules now then i would have been if i didnt lose it.

hey mate yeh i know.. but how would you feel in my situation... i could have gotten off if i didnt have a bad record already. shit happens.

but now i drive like a grandma and it feels good not gettin pulled over :-)

I've had my licence for 11 months.

(Red P's)

Been pulled over 10 times. Never fined. Never been done for speeding/burnouts etc.

Always a "random" breath test. I've had to lift my bonnet 8 times.

Never been asked to rev the car, or anything like that. The cops physically look for a front mount, turbo, blow off valve etc.

I have been asked a few times if my oil breather is a blow off valve, and once if my pod filter (which is enclosed) is a blow off "thingy".

Cops have gotta do a job, and when they see that red P plate they will definately do it.

if its a random breath test ask them why they are testing the car? it doesn't drink

i swear they are so hell bent on making money that you could probably be passed out cold from the booze and they'll still say you are fine, life up your bonnet please.

i was thinking the same thing.

but i heard that ur car gets impounded n shit if ur caught wif a prohibited vehicle.

resorted myself to an NA 34 and will upgrade to turbo once im off Ps.

still pull in d chickies tho :happy:

haha .. shoulda see this guy cruzn in his pimp mobile so hot haha

:(

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
