was pulled over 4 times over the weekend and everytime accussed of driving a high powered car. i know i know.....me? driving a high powered car? rubbish........nehoo it seems that all the police are now carring spred sheets of all the latest and popular imports on the market. but to my suprise they did not have the R34 Down. when i popped my head aroudn to take a look he turned his back to me. when i asked to see the sheet he refused, wdh? they looked at my Engine and said "yep RB25DET" and looked straight at the R33 on their sheet.

i explain to them that yes the r34 does have the same engine (kinda lol) but its way more heavier (i told them 1510kg) so the power to weight ratio worked out perfect for me. (187/1510=123.847kw/tonne) so they let me off each time. yes i know that the r34 is not 187, but since they were using it, why couldnt i

turns out that my rego says the cars weight is 1320, which i believe is a R32s weightl? and their comparing the power of a r33 with the weight of a r32. i guess in the long run cuz they are the cops not much we can do much but, do any of u r34 drivers out there get the same thing? im gonna pop into VIC roads and ask em why are they mixing my car up.

yes i know i know all the obvious comments and yes r31nismoid that if i didnt drive the car i wouldnt be in this spot in the 1st place but i am :P

so the topic at hand is, r34 owners do u ever get mixed up? and what about the others?

R34 is around the same weight as an R33.

it makes more power.

therefore, the power to weight is higher.

therefore, it is illegal to drive on Ps in Victoria.

while Vicroads might not have updated their records yet, it won't take long.

shouldn't this be in the vic section?

R34 is illegal. Like stated 1000000 times before. Get over it.

You going to call VIC roads and what do you expect them to say?

Seriously you should have been busted each time but you got lucky.

btw 206/1510 = 136kw/tonne

Police dont follow the weight thats on your sticker either. Most r33's have different curb weights on their rego stickers. Mine said 1370.

    • 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!
