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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
