Look at the pic I've attached. Its nothing new. Just a pic I found on some nissan site, prolly put together originally by nissan.

Max power 180kw@6400rpm

Weight 1380kg

Power to Weight ratio = 130.435kw per tonne

The law clearly states that a P plate driver shall not drive a vehicle that has a power to weight ratio greater the 125kw per tonne. Power is measured at the engine. Weight is calculated in the vehicles unladen stock standard form (that means COMPLETELY unmodified, no driver, no fluids, no cement or mates in the back).  

The power and weight figures would have to come from Nissan if you wanted to contest it. You can weigh your car and put it on a dyno, but it aint gonna help.

You are breaking the law. End of story. You could waste a day in court trying to get out of it, or you can pay the fine. Stop whinging! This shit happens to everyone everyday!!!!

sorry but the car has been around for a while and they "gain" weight so "estimated" figjures have no baring whatsoever...

CHOP - go get the car weighed wih U in it and half a tank and take it from there.

What a load of crap that is. A kid in a performance car is a kid in a performance car - they all get labelled together. No one cares weather someone is ethnic. I’m sure there are ethnic cops! OMG

WTF does ethnic mean anyway.

P platers in R33 and later turbo skylines alway have been blatant breakers of the law. If you think about it logically it is smart to not have inexperienced drivers (Which P platers unarguably are) in high performance cars. Can anyone tell me they were a better driver when they were on their P's compared to now? No.

You knew the rule/it was your prerogative to know before you bought you car. You choose to take the risk of getting a fine. Stop complaining.

FFS you can't measue the weight of the car with you in it. may as well put 500kgs of lead in the boot.

I agree stop abusin the police as they r there for a reason and would back off if we all did the right thing, its coz of us brakin common laws that the TMU exist and are even greater in presence now instead of more detectives dealing wit drug dealers, wife bashers and murderers !!!!!

and i agree with yoshi etc... the police can be bad.. but just coz a few of em can be barstards why just expect them all to be.. in my experience the two times ive been pulled over (both times clearly doing something wrong :O) both cops were nice to me coz i was nice to them... and they gave me less punishment than i should of got because (i believ) i was nice to them

just my thoughts...

yeah i agree there are some wankers but there are some decent cops... luckily most of the ones ive had to encounter have been ok.... and chop looking at that scan u will notice one VITAL thing...

POINTS = -

he could have probably dicked u a couple of points for not obeying the guidelines of your license... so its not all doom and gloom

The thing is - how do they let p-platers buy these cars in the first place? They obviously go through the Vicroads system as "Nissan Skyline GTS-T" so they should just be stopping it there if they really wanted to prevent P platers driving skylines?

***en victoria is the only state in aus to hav this 'power to weight ' ratio bs, makes me wanna move to sydney, also makes me wanna rethink wat car i wil buy......

To be honest I think its a good thing if it was policed properly. The amount of P-platers that lose it and write off their car (hence why you guys get quoted $4k insurance premiums), or kill themselves or others because they can't handle the power is probably larger than you think.

nah its cool im gonna pay it

i knew this risk when i bought the car

im jus frustrated cos it is gonna be a hassle to pay it

looks like im gonna have to buy a cheque dammit and a 50c(not 45c) stamp

can't even pay this at post office

but the copper was cool about it, breath tested me, then asked me to pop the hood, went back to the car, pulled out a folder with all the engine numbers and power and weight specs and showed me and calculated the weight ratio in front of me.

but its bs cos i doubt my car can do 187kw at the fly. not on feckin shitty 98 RON australian fuel. On 104ron japanese fuel, hell yeah. and i doubt every single car that comes out of the factory would reach factory specs i probably got 170kw at the fly which would be totally legal

and the crap thing was i wasn't even hooning or anything. all the other cars were hooning it around knox but i got pulled over in a parking lot doing 5km/h looking for parking space.

he even said he owns a turbo car himself running 15psi

oh wellz

if they love issuing fines, why can't they make payment options better.

the only way i can pay in cash is to go to their crappy office in spencer st. haha f**k dat

btw he was driving a marked xr6t i think

it was idling louder than my car haha

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
