Well i know that a lot of p'platers get fined for driving 180's with sr's but havent heard of as many skylines getting done even though the get pulled over and hassled about other things a LOT. I myself have a car thats over the power to weight because of the engine conversion to a 25 but no cop has ever noticed even though the vin number starts with rb25...

Just all comes down to luck when you get pulled over i guess

Taken straight from the QLD Transport site

"High-powered vehicles

Research shows that drivers take more risks such as speeding deliberately and driving

recklessly when they are behind the wheel of high-powered or ‘performance’ cars. That’s

why provisional licence holders under the age of 25, whether holding P1 or P2 licences,

are not allowed to drive high-powered vehicles, such as those with:

-an engine with a power output of more than 200 kW

-eight or more cylinders

-a turbo-charged or super-charged engine (except a diesel-powered engine)

-a modified engine requiring approval under the Transport Operations (Road

Use Management Vehicle Standards and Safety) Regulation 1999

-a rotary engine that has a capacity of more than 1146 cc"

This is for Queensland, so going from this i can throw in a CAI with no worries at all. Only bought the car last Friday, has a full exhaust system, not too sure on the details.. but if thats legal surely a CAI is

you will not get done for having a pod if your on your Ps 90 percent of alll p platers first thing they do and get a pod and exhust the police dont care about that they just look for the major mods like turbos etc v8s, in regards to the old green ps which is prior to july 1st 2007 im on them and i have a r33 gtst i got done by a cop because she said i was driving a overpowered vehicle I was going to be charged with that on top of all the other charges and that charge got dropped because she went to check with vicroads and vicroads said i was allowed to drive turbo r33.

Sorry but that is wrong.

The R33 GTS-t is illegal on the OLD and NEW system. This has always been the case, always will be the case.

If you simply got lucky, good on you.

However that does not magically the VicRoads has changed the Victorian Law. I think you've posted that R33's are legal a few times - please stop doing so as it is wrong and misleading people.

TwoCents - thanks for your post… however it has not a lot of relevance to the topic at hand (user is NSW I've found out). :P

Closing thread, answer was given in Jan.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
