Purchasing Turbo R34 Under My Name

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

can you afford a GTR fresh of your p-plates?

EDIT: i dont mean to be rude, its just id be really really jealous if you could. DAAAYUUUUM

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!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
