no. You cannot own a GTR on your P plates. Or a GTST. The exceptions are for things like smart cars which have a turbo but go nowhere despite that..... The GTS you can have tho, its NA.

Or thats at least as far as I know. There are also individual exceptions in extenuating circumstances eg work owned vehicles that you must drive to make a living,but thats limited. You *might* be able to plead a case to an officer on the side of the road if you get pulled up after having worked on a car and taking it for a test spin around the block, but for your all day every day car I wouldnt hold much hope.

Your best bet is a R33 GTS4 IMO. Or a honda integra type R...

unless you have a totally legitimate reason for NEEDING to own a turbo car then theres not much chance of you getting an exemption

i doubt being a mechanic would have much influence on it because its not like you need a performance car to get to and from work

theres no harm in trying i guess but u basically need to have a bulletproof reason for it.

i have HEARD of people getting exempt because the family owned car is turbocharged though. but of course that would have been fully documented with reasons why they cant afford to own another car etc

This is not a FI topic.

As you have not stated which state you are from, im closing this.

Please contact the relevant state government body.

They are responsible for the laws, they are therefore the best people to advise on these laws

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
