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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
