It depends which state, in victoria the power to weight ratio maximum for a P-Plater is 125kw per tonne last time i checked. The r32 power to weight ratio is 124kw per tonne (from the figures from HSVKLR) which would make that legal in victoria. However i believe in some states like NSW there is no power to weight ratio etc.

yeah if your worried about the P plate issue dont, i went to vic roads to check it and they said it was fine. also when i was pulled over one the copper asked me where my second turbo was i said "officer its a gtst single turbo" he replied by saying " thats fine then if you had a second turbo there would off been an issue" and he let me off well he did give a canary for my air filter but hey thats standard these days when u get pulled over buy the police in vic

Im on my P's and own a 32 GTST...in vic

I rang up vicroads head office in melb...and they didnt know what a R32 GTST was let alone if its p plate legal or not.

I find that if you dont do anything wrong then they dont seem to care...its only when u attract attention that the cops start to get curious

Insurence is a whole other matter...:P

The question is more like..."who will insure me?" rather than "how much"

Just cars will insure you...but expect big numbers!!!

If u r 18 expect the $5,000 figure...and thats only if u can find someone who is willing to insure u

There is always 3rd party...but thats a big risk...as u all know thats about $300ish

...If u do find a company that is cheap...let me know...hehe...but i dont think they exist

As soon as they hear the words "Turbo, Import and 2 door" they tend to turn the other way...as well as the whole P Plate thing

All i can say is...GOOD LUCK!

Yes but by that time they were called R33's.

Nah i was just referring to the weight diff between earlier and later year 32's.

Interesting... It seems my R33 GTS-t @1360kg isn't as much of a whale as I thought then :)

The weight of these cars isn't in the manual or anything, the way you find them is by looking it up on the net :( Which is why there are so many arguments about them, because there are a lot of variations from different sources.

I put a lot of value on the Motortraders Network database though, simply because they have a shitload of cars plus a lot of detail on factory options and even colours. Most other sites have a couple of one-off statistics about 1 or 2 cars which in my opinion doesn't make them as reliable.

find a public weighbrigde... or go to your local waste transfer station (tip) where they weight you on the way in and on the way out to figure out how much crap you offloaded... just ask em nicely, im sure they wont mind taking 3 seconds out of their *busy* day to help a brother out :(

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
