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 :(

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
