Me what do you need? Anything minus keys and alarms etc is discounted

Will PM

[Count Grantleyish]

It will stop some crashing.

Go drive a 300kw skyline and tell me that won't increase your chances if losing it

You obviously haven't seen arab drifting on youtube.

You still can crash a 4 cyl Camry...

Can you get the laser-cut transponder keys sent directly from Hamburg?

[ARTZ]

yeah any car can speed.

this was me in a 2L NA wagon all 105 Fly KW

training is more important that power to weight.

oh and earlier that day I had a 92kw FWD hatch at indicated 205!

yep, I remember getting a stock lancer rent a car over 200 with 5 people in the car...back mid 90s...

[ARTZ]

There will be ulterior motives behind this anyway...like raising more revenue from P-platers speeding..

you watch Kids all get excited about the new laws and start driving like morons...

then government will use this as an excuse to bring in mandatory GPS tracking or some bullshit....

They are just fishing, they're just giving a little slack before they reel us in further....

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Not really,

I think it's just because soon pretty much all cars will have forced induction and there is NO WAY the government can look like they are forcing P Platers to drive older less safe cars

it HAD to happen

[HEKT1K]

Would be much easier to just ban RWD

i always like the fact the holden cruze.

2 models the "sportier" faster was NA

the slower less powerful one a small turbo..

and which is the only one a new driver could have...

or you could drive the superseded Renault Clio Cup but not the less powerful mini cooper S

I could go on for days but yes how hard is it to find a small car released in past 2 years with no turbo varient,

and watch subaru/toyota start crying?

yeah worth it

[Borci88]

So p plate restrictions are being removed. Yeh I'm fkn annoyed

lol why?

[paulr33]

yeah interesting one about the p plater restrictions

although going by the wording, if its still based on power to weight - does it really change that much?

[Birds]

It allows P platers to drive turbo diesels and weak turbocharged petrol vehicles.

However...P plater buys CA18DET S13...much easier to get big power out of these than even N/A V8, which I thought was the reason turbos got blanket banned in the first place except for those turbo diesels appearing on the unrestricted list.

Are V8s still banned?

[Sunkist]

lol why?

Because that fkn law came in 5 months before I got my p's..

[Odium]

V8's which are under 130kw/t are allowed I believe... V8 landcruiser etc... you wouldn't be rocking an VE SS though

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

^ habibbi will... And sook when he gets busted

[viper2002]

So I purchased one of these which has an 85mm ID:

Not realising I need the 500-A022 model which has a 75mm ID. Anyone know how I can make it fit to the RB25DET? Would an adaptor or the like work?

[colourclassic]

Did you purchase the Power Intake adpator too? I don't think those come with one.

As listed here:

Oh and next time, save yourself the money and just buy a 3A racing pod off ebay for 30 bucks. They filter well and are cheap (as a piece of perforated cloth and some stamped metal should be).

Love them or hate them, the VF commys are a respectable bit of kit. Electronic park brake is fkin cool.

13.8L/100km average on LPG, that's close to diesel economy when you convert to dollars, isn't it?

[colourclassic]

Electronic park brake is fkin cool.

How is one supposed to skate epping plaza with such a device?

[Borci88]

Because that fkn law came in 5 months before I got my p's..

I drive a GTR, hugh heffner mahd?
