I drove a modified R33 for 18 months on my P's and only ever got randomly pulled over once and even then they didn't defect the car or query my right to drive the vehicle. Since my P's though I have been pulled over about 8 times (in the last year or so) and only finally got defected on Tuesday night after a random pull over. It seems to all depend on:

- How low your car is

- How loud your car is

- Bodykits attract attention

- Doing dumb shit attracts attention

- Driving in certain areas attracts attention

However if you get a highway patrol officer who is really after you, I have just discovered first hand your gonna get punished

highway patrol = (n)

very much agree with swink

i used to get pulled up a lot more when i drove in highly patrolled areas.. now im ussually just driving from cafe` to cafe` and its not so bad anymore. still get pulled over and still pack myself everytime i see a cop car. but unless your doing something to "stand out" cops have got better things to do..

i find the safest places are actually near cop stations.. cause the cops are either eager to get back or just jumped in the cars and still getting organised.

i was driving a r33 gts for a while n then did the turbo conversion for more power... and have been driving it on my green p's for around 5 months... iv been pulled over 3 times... twice in one night and was told to open the hood... didn't say anything about the power to weight just defected me for cooler and pod filter.. all 3 times that i got defected was at nyt tym on friday/ saturday nyts on princess hwy...

my car is pretty stock looking and doesnt attract that much attention and i dnt go out doing stupid things... bt that nyt when i got pulled over twice there was a police blitz on princess hwy

fingers crossed i dnt get diked for power to weight...

most cops just knw that you cant have pod filter and intercooler but id stay away from highway patrols..

my first pull over and defect was actually outside a cop station... haha

your allowed to drive any car on your Lz, but on ur Pz it all stops, i was driving my 33 gts-t for 8 months on my Pz, didnt get pulled over once, im fully liscenced now, in my oppinion, if your car dosent look like a race car and you havnt done to much to it, you act sencibaly, you will be fine, now that i remember it, i did get brethoed and they just looked to see if i was wearing Pz, which i wasnt and they just said cya later.

Act sencibly, and be mature

two weeks ago i brought a skyline r32 gt-r and i couldn't wait till i could drive it, i heard it was just imported and everything seem to be in good nick!!! well i confirmed to the seller which he was selling the car for a good mate in japan to buy the skyline for $17,500 which he wanted the car for $18,500. so we did all the paper work and went to vic roads and got a permanent so i could drive the car at bayswater where the car was to delahey which is where my relatives house was. i was stunned :P of the performance what a twin turbo could really produce....... during the time was i driving towards the city i came across at least 6 cops that drove right pasted me, at the time i wasn't aware of the penalties of driving a twin turbo until one of my family member told me after when i was at home that it was not legal for me to drive a gt-r, of cos all i was thinking about was the acceleration and the speed of the r32...... well during the two days i floored that skyline around my area where theres hardly any cops around and dicided to give the car back because there was no point keeping the car if i cant drive it till im off my green p's(19yold) which is in another two more years -.-

i was just wondering when is it legal to drive a skyline r32 gtr? 21 or 25?

Full license drivers do not have any high power car restrictions.

When you get your full license, this is when the gtr becomes legal to drive.

So that would be when your 21 im assuming.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
