hey were the r32 gtr and gtst made in 1989?

im sure they were as i have seen some for sale

im asking because on the nsw p plater banned car list it only mentions r32 gtr and gtst are banned with the release date 1990

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downlo...hicles_list.pdf

does that mean that p platers can drive gtsts and gtrs made in 1989

maybe i should ask rta as well

n im sure even if this is a loophole cops are gonna give me shit for it

yes both cars were available in 1989

no, you can't drive either on your p's unless you had your p's before the rules were amended

this forum has covered this many times

you're stuck with naturally aspirated Nissans only until you have a full licence, sorry =[

Yeh they won't care much for build date as from 89-93 they're all pretty much the same (couple of little things on the newer ones)

I'm pretty sure that list has a note down the bottom saying it's not all inclusive and the RTA site definitely has a note about no high powered 6's no turbo's and no 8's (assuming u talking about the new laws)

may be easier for you just to start off with an n/a silvia for a few years

they are a lot more common in manual form, a lot cheaper- and you should be able to build up the driving skills required to get the most out of a turbo'd line by the time you get a full licence.

why would you want an unreliable sh#$box like an old Corolla, when you can have more street cred and better everything with a nice, reasonably cheap, fun, na silv?

my first car was a datsun 1600 (should have known better), and although it was good fun to slide, it cost a lot in maintenance

aus spec R31's are very cheap and ultra reliable too

im not buyin a shit box lol

already have a decent car

pintara trx on which ive spent a bit of money

just want sumthin a bit newer and stock (no mods except exhaust)

thought skylines would be a good choice but there hard to come by

probably just wait till i find one

oh yeh wit the turbo just wanted to see if there was a loophole

to be honest i got no plan on buying turbo car in future mayb a v8 celsior/ls400 but thats it

my opinion, if u already got a good car and want a turbo car, wait til ur off your p's. i dont see the point of buying another car just until your off ur p's and then buying a turboed car. save your cash! trust me! im flat broke living in my mums garage cos i cant afford anything better. all my cash goes into my car! BE CAREFUL with your cash. dont end up in your parents garage! :ninja:

hahahahahah

i got an 89 gtr and im on my p's lol

too bad junior. no turbo for u lol

Hey, can't you still get dicked by these new laws? It's no turbo, V8 etc for the new P platers, but your GTR is over the old power to weight rules aren't they? If your GTR is over the power to weight ratio (old rules, but still apply) can't you still get the, 'lose 3 demerit points and a max fine of $1100'?

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
