...the need for speed.

:laughing-smiley-014:

:pwned:, for shiz

Ahh well, I got a GTS just to be sure these rules didn't stuff me around (cauz i new it was only a matter of time), otherwise i would have gone the turbo option. But to be honest i think my car has enough stick to keep me entertained...........for now :pwned:

Thanks for the info guys,

If you are referring to a R33 GTS, then disregard my post

but the 1991-1993 R32 Gts-t is P-Plate legal under the current p/w ratio.

Although once these new laws come out, no doubt it will be a tough time explaining it to police that yes its turbo but legal for current P-Platers lol. Prolly give me a defect for proving him wrong haha

Although if you are happy then enjoy without the added stress :ninja:

nahhh no way, I would get the R32 for sure :( lol

Yeah, thats exactly right, even if you are under the legal ratio, just for having a turbo you would get more interest from cops, again adding to my decision just to go NA

I think I'll just wait till I'm off my P's before the dream car (R32 GTR Ohhhhh Yeah :(), plus i just got a smick zorst on it :), no way i'm selling it now till i have too lol

Thanks again for clearing all this up for us mate,

$1100???!!!!!

Wasnt it like a bit more than 100 before? I wouldnt know because i havent had one...

The fine used to be $110 and no points, but damn now $1.1K + 3 points? i dont think there will be too many P platers on the road with performance cars after the set date

"Penalties

From 1 July 2007 the penalty for driving a high powered vehicle will be three demerit points and a maximum fine of approximately $1100. These penalties will apply to both the current power to weight restrictions and the new high powered vehicles restrictions."

Thats sooooooo gay, means i cant drive my valiant anymore (5.2 litre, 220hp, 1350 kilos = :() without risk of losing my other 3 points and my licence.. They used to give a warning, i wonder if they still will

A mate of mine got killed in a Hyundai Excel. These law's won't stop the road toll. Driver training is what's needed.

I used to have a sticker on my old car, maybe I should get it reprinted. It said: Don't ban high performance cars, ban low performance drivers!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
