Hey all,

I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I drive an r33 GTST and i'm on green p plates, i got my ps before July 1st.

Got a fine and points for driving it today.

Just wanting to know if anyone has had similar troubles and if there is anything i can do.

I will be defiantly garaging it until I get off the Ps.

Cheers.

^^^^ doubt it?

i have a r32 turbo keep it in the garage most times until 2 months till off me p's yayayay. but i have been driving since off my learners. daily car ftw

33's weigh more so why would a r32 pass as legal? but r33 power is more.

2007? then turbos are legal, however power to weight might not be.

what was the actual fine for? if it is power to weight, you could get it dynoed then show vicroads the power, might work.

If you got your P's before July 1st 2007, then you don't have the turbo restriction, only power to weight.

Yes you are right, R33 is heavier, but R33 has a bigger engine 2.5L, oppose to a 2.0L R32.

So the R32 GTST is legal.

If the R32 was stock (which has to be anyway, because on your P's, you can't mod anything to increase power), then it should be fine, also the age of it will also result in a tiny bit of power lost anyway.

You want to know if there's something you can do? What do you expect to be able to do? You broke the law and got punished for it...that's the end of the story as far as the state of Victoria is concerned.

Hopefully you learn from this lesson and garage the Skyline / buy a more suitable P plater car.

I do want to thank you for coming forward and posting this...it should be stickied to serve as a warning to other people that you can get caught for it...and that this is far from the worst that can happen to you when you do drive illegally.

its 3 points and a big fine isnt it?

i got $236 and 3 points, On VicRoads site it says they can fine up to $1100. However I have read on here people have been let off with warnings. Thing is the car is stock, you see P Platers driving much more high powered skylines as well as other cars that are so obviously not legal.

Live and learn on my part i guess...

haha some of the p platers of italian descent around here manage to get around in clubsports and senators without getting dicked, maybe its more of a melbourne thing :P

maybe cause they own half the town with there grapes ?

my cousins family does anyway haha, all the boys of the family are driving around in FPV's HSV's ... Senators, xr6t's bloody crazy up there (robinvale)

i thought it was an impound offense these days. well, consider yourself lucky.

I'll give you simple reply mate...firstly, sorry to hear that you've been fined etc...just gotta garage it and wait until you get off your P's. Driving it is a risk and you'll go paranoid ever time a copper drives past. It's not worth it. Just gotta face reality mate.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
