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'?

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
