Plus a newer non turbo will probably be less thrashed and less modded, so it will be far more reliable if you are looking for something cheap to buy as well as cheap to run, which at that price range it looks as though you are. Plenty of power anyway and I think that when you get off your p's and want to upgrade to a turbo the depreciation will also be less on a non turbo 33. I know a lot of it is about turbo rep but really, they look hawt whether they are turbo or not, you can't really tell!

f**k yeah, i passed! :)

Well done, welcome to a world of solo driving and realising how truly rubbish the driving is of your fellow road users. If you are just after a cheap reliable car I would definetly reccomend a R31 skyline, they can be had for less than $1000 and they go forever, also if you end up getting a GTS-T at some point you can swap out the bottom end for RB25/30 goodness :D

yeah im looking around, having a tough time. no r32's in my budget anymore, or 33's for that matter. only have about 6k to spend :)

i guess ill just buy a VL hehe

LOL you can get an factory VL turbo for less than 6k and that is considered legal because its less than 125kw per ton.

i got my p's twice, auto then manual.

during my auto i aced it however after 2.5years of driving, i rarely reversed parked. I personally think i did a shocking job during the test but the tester said continue, so i did.

it doesn't have to be perfect i guess, so good enough to get the car roughly in a park and kinda close to the gutter within 2 moves.

you ll be fine.

Nah even if it had 60kw per ton all turbos are illegal on P plates now.

Yeah tell me about it mate. Id rather not cop a canary :)

I was going to get a VL but the miss's hates them and wont get in it lol so i have to find something else, again. i think a vt or something now. christ.

You can still buy an R32 or R33 non turbo for that kind of money? A Commodore will make you happy on your P plates though. They are a much more practical car than a Skyline, much more comfortable too.

Lower perfomance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles

From 6 July 2009, drivers issued with a probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 may drive some lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. The definition of a lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicle is a vehicle with 6 cylinders or less that is:

  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne
  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that is considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and are equipped with child restraint anchorages. A family type vehicle does not include a sports car (two door coupe).

From vicroads website

I think they changed it back, at least for turbo's and superchargers. Mainly because VW and Mercedes got in the governments face about no P-platers being able to drive their car because nearly all them have a low boost turbo or supercharger.

Ohhh they must have changed it since I last saw the regulations. I remember they were thinking of bringing in those changes to allow turbodiesel vehicles to be driven, didn't know they had gone ahead with it though.

I was wrong.

You hear that you assholes?!?!?!?!

    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary
