It says on the QLD transport site that high-powered and performance vehicles include those with:

well my R34 25GT has no more than 8 cylinders, and it is not turbo-charged, I'm just not so sure about the third and fourth points, does my vehicle meet those requirements? Does anyone know?

Hey mate,

Your engine is not a rotary (RX7 is rotary, yours is an inline 6 i think), and manufacturers specifications are flywheel kw, which means your car would have to be 230-250kw at the wheels STOCK to be breaking this rule.

I think you should be ok mate!

Good luck

Your car doesnt have a modification that requires approval unless the engine has been changed or converted to manual or anything along those lines

Your car also isnt a rotary

Your car would not produce more than 200kw at the wheels and i doubt it would even do it at the flywheel

To add to this thread my mate has a non-turbo silvia with a RB20 that was converted to manual now i realise i may have answered my question but just wondering if anyone has had an experience with this and what the cops have done about it?

if ur car was ineligable then they wouldnt let you register it anyways.. so i wouldnt worry if ur not sure.. unless you are doing mods u shouldnt be :D:banana:

and yes no rotary .. its an inline 6

well because I just bought it, and its not registered under my name, so if I can't drive it legally, I'd be like HOLY CRAP!!!

If you brought the car and are transfering the rego you have 30 days to do it before the cops can break your ballz about it. If you are waiting for the rego to expire you are better off cashing in the plates or getting the previous owner to and re-registering it in your name asap. Hope this was helpful.

200kW @ engine doesn't mean 230-250kW @ wheels. Find me a driveline that makes power and I'll buy it :starwars: 200kW at the flywheel would be probably closer to 140-150rwkw.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
