Engineer's report reads, "This here vehicle puts out 174rwkw" + dyno sheet.

Then it depends on how smart Mr Plod is.

Too much risk? Pull out.

If you want to take the risk, do Advanced Driving courses 1-2-3

were did u get that kw reading all the places ive looked says its over 200 and what will those advanced driving courses allow exactly?

If you wish or need to get a high powered car on P1s, I'd get some Advanced Drivers' Courses under your belt so you and your car don't get all out of shape ie. lose control regardless.

The stated Kw power is 206 at the fly.

It'll be about 30Kw less at the wheels - however, the policeman will have a list of what cars are prohibited.

If the V35 is permitted for P drivers, get it. Best to get the 2 dr.

im right for the driving i raced cars on tracks in newcastle at the speedway when i was growing up big block v8s i know how to handle a car i just want to know if it is a restricted car?

i cant find a restricted car list for QLD is there 1?

and is that 200kw restriction at the wheels or from the fly?

see there is a major flaw in the plan of getting the excemption. if they look up the date that the car was registered in your name then they will see that it put into your name a long time after the car was put on the restricted list. so your chance of getting it approved is minimal. then you also have the question of whether an insurance company will cover you. they may let you take out the policy and give them money, but when it comes time to pay you out in the event of a crash they may simply refuse to pay your claim.

moral of the story, you know the car is illegal to drive on your p's, so suck it up and move on. don't be a sook and try to find ways around it.

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 馃槢   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When鈥檚 the tow ball on the 33 coming? 馃檭
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
