I'm looking to buy a 98 GT-T and currently on my red P's. Was wondering if anyone has a GT-T or a turbocharged Skyline in general, how you got the permit, conditions and any issues with the Police?

If anyone is curious, I don't know a lot about Skylines, let alone cars itself so if anyone can give pointers, greatly appreciated :P

Here is the only pointer you need... Buy a non-turbo car untill your of your P's.. There is no way around it, well not in QLD and i am sure not any state. And yes you will have problems with the police they are not stupid you know...

You will have problems from start to finish when you sell the car because of the hassles it will cause. The police and insurance are going to be major headaches, so just get a non turbo or just a cheap daily as save till your off your p's

From what I hear, the police don't seem to care much. People on red Ps in Victoria get defected for hole in the battery tray and don't get done for turbo on Ps. Like hello? Officer? Anyway, get an Integra Type R for your Ps, it'll hold its value decently and you'll never have another excuse to buy a FWD sports car again.

Most P-platers seem to forget that ANY modifications that affect performance are illegal and carry the same penalty as driving a turbo but most don't get hassled. I'm sure if you had a completely stock car, with stock wheels and lights and seats etc. and without a memorable custom numberplate you'd get away with it.

I've always been curious as to whether you could get away with a GTST as an old one would be under their 100kw/tone thing; certainly at the wheels which is how you'd provide evidence etc. Doesn't affect me anymore anyway...

i could tell you how to get a permit to drive whatever car you like, but i should point out it may take some time to process. oddly enough the time it takes is the EXACT same amount of time between now and when you get your open licence......

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
