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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
