Hey guys im almost 20 and the new penalties/laws are out effective 1st July so ive spent some time on finding a tuff

every dayer that police arnt gonna hassle me on, but still boots like an angry puppy.. :)

Basically for the next year i think my 33 will become just a track car so i've kind of decided on a car i found on the

following description...

1991 Ford EB fairmont GHIA straight 6 (white)

Its manual :) (rare)

LSD diff

Has head work, mild cam, etc. 137kws at the wheels

Sunroof & full electrics!

This is a mates car & he's selling to get a motor bike, i have driven it and it seriously RIPS!! whoever thats been in a

worked manual 6 ford 4ltr will understand how tourquey these things are!! once u punch it, its just INSTANT Grunt!!

This car however will not suit me one bit, iv never owned anything but imported skylines but oh well, with the new laws

what can u do..

Let me know what u's think.. iv been looking for a nice HR31 coupe or something but so hard to find, and for the money

id be getting this EB for u cant really complain... about $2,500 - $3000......

Edited by Dean_HR31

I also had a toyota sprinter in mind.. but u can kind of buy a block of land near the beach on the gold coast for the same

amount of money...

by the way do Volks fit on fords? :)

Just be careful, the cops are really strict nowadays - they got police mechanics on the force, if they lift your hood and find that you've done alot of engine work on the car, they might just give you trouble, should be right, but just watch out. I wouldn't put stickers on, loud exahust etc - basically nothing that attracts too much attention to avoid further complications.

Good luck though.

Yeah mate, if you already have ya p's, & already have an R33 then ya sweet to drive that around legally. As long as it is legal. The new law just effects people getting their p's or buying hi-po cars on their p's after july 1st.

yeah i do mate, ive had my P's now for exactly 23 months... u were gonna say the new law doesnt apply to me werent

you? lol, im gonna explain the new law now & put everyone out of their misery...

The LAW - Has NOT changed. The 125kw per tonne limit has been in place for ages... Applies to ALL P Platers.

The NEW law is people who get their licenses after the 1st of July cannot drive ANY V8, Turbo, Charged

or performance 6 no matter what the power to weight ratio is.

Now, what is going to effect EVERYONE is the new PENALTIES. ANYBODY either an old p plater or new p plater after the

1st of july will get the 3 point penalty & $1100 fine for driving any car with more than 125 kw per tonne. SIMPLE.

THE LAW THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO CURRENT P PLATERS is getting the above penalties for driving a V8, Turbo, Charged or performance 6... THAT is whats confusing everyone!!!

In a nut shell, me for an example. I already have my P's so the new law doesnt apply to me, i can still drive a turbo,

v8, charged or 'performance 6' car as long as its not over 125 kw per tonne where as P platers getting there license

after 1st of july CANT!

I hope that makes sense to everyone, because ive explained it to 89076895689 people and they still go listening to gooses saying they can still drive a 34 GTR cos they already had their P's..... I dont care, i cant wait till they get fined so i can laugh at them. :)

Any performance modifications made to cars IRC are illegal for P platers to drive aswell. Better clear that up before you buy the EB.

This applies to new drivers (p-platers) after 1st of July, p-plater who have their licence before 1st of July are excluded from this rule.

Yeah mate, if you already have ya p's, & already have an R33 then ya sweet to drive that around legally. As long as it is legal. The new law just effects people getting their p's or buying hi-po cars on their p's after july 1st.

:)You are 100% incorrect.

R33 GTST's have always been illegal to drive as they exceed the CURRENT power to weight laws.

If you get caught you will, after 1st July, be given a maximum fine of up to $1100 and loose 3 dimerit points.

Get caught a second time, in a twelve month period, you will loose your licence for 3 months, as the extra 3 dimerit points would exceed the 5 dimerit limit for a p-plater, within a twelve month period.

The penalties have been revised for current p-plate licence holders and will also come into effect on the 1st July.

R32 GTST's are actually legal under the current laws, but not sure what will happen if you have "power increasing" modifications (ie: exhaust, ecu, bleed valve, etc).

^ That doesn't sound right.

Just read Deans post: He is 100% correct.

Finally a p-plater that understands his rights and knows the law, well done mate :)

Dean: I was actually going to ask what's wrong with driving your HR31?

Thanks for the compliment Al :P

I WISH i still had my HR31.. those cars will forever be my favourite by far.. I'd love an imaculate 4 Door passage

GT for the new laws but i seriously wouldnt wana park something that rare/special at a train station every morning.. :thumbsup:

However an EB? who cares, ill park that anywhere! :rant: i only care about my nissans// :rant:

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
