No you cant have turbos unless you are under the old laws of just the power to weight where some could legaly make it under the benchmark.. these new rules = no no. :(

im on green P's and am on the older rules of it as i got my license in march 06 and have a r34 GTT, about 6 months ago i looked this up and was sure it said it had to b over 125kw per tonne AND 3.5 litres per tonne... and it said that if it was over one and not the other it may be driven.... but lookn at the vic roads site now it has changed from 6 months ago... i was gona print it coz it looked like a big loop hole and put it in my glove box, i did save it and send it 2 my mate but that was just copy pasting it. i havent had any cop trouble with my car but, n ive only got about 5 months left of being a p plater... u get ur license before july 07 mate?

Daz305 - its always been 125kw/tonne. Since the 1990's... Therefore GT-t is illegal.

You couldnt be more wrong im afraid as there is no such "and 3.5litre".

The website has not changed in years, there is no loop hole.

Its always clearly had "OR" on the website. There was no "AND" at all. I think you saw what you wanted to see, not what was actually there :banana:

Anyhow, topic has been done to death. VicRoads website contains all the information if you use its search function or navigate the menu's :(

I use it once a month or so and works a treat.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
