Seriously if my parents bought me a R34 GTR and i was told by the cops that i couldnt drive it........id drive down to sydney to live, it would b well worth it knowin i could drive a GTR any time of day(also u would hav 10% speed tolerence, 60KMP in suburbs and u could hav number in the middle and front of the number plate). i was lookin into this subject a couple of months bak but now i hear a fair few ppl r getting dicked for it. still doesnt scare me though.

Turboed R32/33's Skylines  are on the banned list of cars able to driven on the road by P platers, they dont come under the power to weight rule as far as I know, RTA have a list of cars unable to be driven by P platers, then if your car is not on that list the power to weight rule applies. you have to go into Vic Roads if in Victoria to get the list they dont put it on  their website. dont know about other states.

i dont see how seeing as the R32 is not over the limit...

160kw and 1290KGs which is 124kw/ton or is my maths gone all ghey

doesnt it have to be OVER 124/ton??

You dont have to. 125 or more is 100% correct.

That list was phased out in '99-'00 i believe. Any car that was on the list is still restricted, however, in addition, all vehicles now have to be under 125kw/ton for p platers.

i remember looking at the info when i was getting my car (on my P's), and from memory, and please correct me if i'm wrong, the 180sx is legal auto/manual for 1.8L, is legal for auto 2.0L as it weight slightly morre, but illegal for manual 2.0L as it is slightly lighter and p/w is sooo close to the limit...

They used to have a list of cars that are banned full stop, the power to weight ratio thing didnt even come into it, you were just not allowed to drive them, I dont know if this list still exists but presume so, as said before if your car is on this list, dont try the power to weight thing with Mr plod as you will lose, I might drop into the Vic roads and get the list next week and see whats on it. I would advise anyone else on P plates to do the same, as it would be a shame to have your new ride sitting in the shed as you cant drive it.

here is an outake from Vic roads

High powered cars

While you can drive most vehicles, you are not permitted to drive a high powered car. These are cars which have a power to weight ratio greater than 125 kilowatts per tonne or with a capacity to weight ratio of more than 3.5 litres per tonne. A list of cars which may not be driven is available from VicRoads Registration and Licensing offices.

You may drive a high powered car if your employer requires you to drive it in the course of your

employment, or if you hold an exemption issued by VicRoads. VicRoads will only grant an exemption if:

• it is the only car owned by your family

• the car is used for business as well as social use and no other non high powered car is owned by your family.

Applications for a high powered vehicle exemption must be made in person at a VicRoads office. Exemptions are for a nominated vehicle and must be carried at all times

guys i got a 180sx and iam on my p's does this apply to me as well

why the hell cant have a dyno reading and the weight of your car to prove you not over the limit?

whos to stop all those commadors doing shit to there cars they dont stop em and say your over the limit etc

i hate these cops

its all bullshit =)

sorry iam getting abit emotional about this -=)

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
