Hi guys,

I'm due to be off my green P's by the year's end. However, I wish to purchase and register a R34 GTR or a GTT under my name as a P plater, but not drive it till I'm on the fulls. I had a look at the VicRoads website, but I just see warnings about not driving high powered vehicles on P's. I'd like to purchase, change ownership and register it under my name - not through parents or sister.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Michael

no laws against owning, insuring or sitting in a turbo powered car on your p plates

the law, does however state you cannot drive a turbo powered car on your p plates

so its fine to purchase, get it insured, sit it in your driveway etc

No it's okay. I can - been working in corporate since graduating 2008 :)

Hmm, I'm not going to rego or renew it until I'm off the P's :D I guess it's okay hehe. Thanks guys!

why bother buying one now when at the end of the year, the price is sure to come down a little more?

paying rego for an extra half a year seems slightly retarded to me, start looking for a car when its 2 weeks before you're off your p's.

Slightly retarded?

Full retarded!

"You went full retarded, and you should never go full retard man."

haha

but seriously OP, give it a wait for a bit and save some money... Unless you spy a car that you def want right now (i.e. that'll be sold to someone else), that's one of a kind, otherwise, leave it for a while. :banana:

yer i agree with that, unless there is a special one that has certain things done to it that you dont think will come up again... like a highly modified something special... i would just wait and buy one within even a month before u get off your P's...

if you wait, they may come down in price, you may find a better one over the next 6 months or so, or you may find a really really good deal...

TBH, I don't think it'd hurt to start looking at them now, because it might take 4 weeks or it might take 4 months to find something you want, so be patient and start looking now and like others have said, if you find something that is 100% right for you, then buy it.

You don't want to wait until the last 2 weeks then rush into buying one just because you are getting off your P's in 2 weeks.

LOL! Yeah - I'm not going to rego it until I can drive it :D Didn't think about that while I was posting! :)

Thanks for all your help and input guys! It's a great feeling knowing I'll be on fulls soon!

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
