hey guys, was browsing through carsales and this vlt caught my attention only because it wrote, "It is running Straight Gas which makes it Legal to drive on P Plates" :blink: ..the fact that 15k has been spent on mods and its still p plate legal really confused me lol

not trying to make the owner of the car look bad or anything but, is he correct? or does he have no idea on the laws these days!? :)

So it made it to SAU forums aswell lol its full of shit, first of all he has modifed the car which strictly says Ps cannot modify the car and the only turbo they say is allowed are turbo disesel. The guy is some 18year old that just got hes Ps and hes already selling it and hes claiming I went to court against everyone to get papers proving I can drive just antoher shit talker.

He's probably just saying it is p plate legal because he's been pulled over once or twice before and the cops havent had a clue and just gone "oh its an old gassed vl, probably not much going on in there..."

under whichever rule he wants- power to weight or the new non modified/turbo rules its not legal.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
