I'm in the process of buying a Skyline, Just shopping around a bit, And I was wondering about the regulations when it comes to modifications. I'm on my Green P's, And I've got 2 different car's that I'm looking at. One has no mods, The other is this one: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-1995-11940016?vertical=Car&cr=1&eapi=2&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%20904%201622%204294678014&distance=25&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1|Mileage:Min,100000&sort=~Price

Am I going to be able to drive it legally?

Am I going to be able to drive it legally?

depends on the laws in WA, but most states are now strict on P platers driving high powered cars, i.e ANY THING TURBO, V8, especially imports - massive NO on that one. most ppl wait till they are on Full license before buying GTST or just buy a GTS for the time being.?

- people try to use the EXEMPTION rule, but you wont get one for a skyline, as it has no purpose in the work force unlike some V8 utes.

GOODLUCK

oh plus these things below are defectable in most states:

-Turbo timer

-Apexi Electronic Boost Controller

- pivot oil temperature, boost gauges

-APEXi Power FC with controller

Where are the best places to look for them? I've only checked carsales.

Speaking of, I seen this one. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-1993-11949219?vertical=Car&cr=4&eapi=2&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%20904%20245%201622%204294963846%204294963593&distance=25&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,15000~1&sort=~Price

Is that one good for value?

It's not about the Neons, I thought those were illegal anyway.

That GTR was actually one of the ones I was looking at. My biggest problem was making sure that I could drive it as a P-plater. Don't like the idea of being unable to drive it.

What's the difference between the 2?

ALSO I'm in Perth. I think I got everything this time >_>

Difference between a GTST and GTR???unsure.gif

Pretty sure there are still no restrictions in WA. I see p platers in SS utes every day, saw a p plate 911 the other day.

Someone correct me if i am wrong

Even with restrictions, such as in VIC, you still see P-platers driving restricted vehicles. All the P-platers on SAU driving R33 GTSts, for instance. And you see them driving SS Commodes, XR6T Falcoons, etc. So don't assume that P-platers driving high performance / power vehicles means no restrictions.

*Sigh* I googled Skylines and ended up on a forum(This one) which is apparently specifically FOR Skylines. I then asked the difference between 2 types on said forum, and your solution is to google it again? Where do you think I'm going to end up?

I don't need specifics, Just a general overview of the differences. Any proper answers would be appreciated.

If there are any car/power restrictions they would be written there. I cant find anything that says there are restrictions in WA, I think that there DEFINITELY should be but dont think that it is currently the case.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
