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!

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 :(

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
