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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
