In other news: vicroads is revoking the blanket ban on turbo/supercharged cars and reverting to the power/weight ratio.

100kw/tonne (or 125kw/tonne for cars with 4 seats and child restraint anchorages)

A victory for common sense. But not much else.

34 gtt's, 33 gtst's are still a no go.32 gtst coupes are out as well leaving the 32 gtst sedan open for Vic p platers.

TL:DR, The TAC did something logical for once

Whats the go with this ! R32 GTST on his P-Plates what are the politicians in Queensland smoking lol !

because its under the power/weight ratio. under 125/tonne. as i said in my post, vic is adopting the power/weight ratio rule as well. if it's under 100/tonne (or 125/tonne for a 4 seater), its legal for P-plates (thats in VIC). In QLD, its 125kw/tonne regardless i believe.

R34 GT-T, RB25DET NEO (206kw), Curb weight 1,410kg

206/1410 = 146kw/tonne = BANNED

R33 GTS-T, RB25DET (184kw), Curb Weight 1,390kg

184/1390 = 132kw/tonne = BANNED

R32 GTS-T (Coupe), RB20DET (158kw), Curb Weight 1,280

158/1280 = 123kw/tonne = A-OK for QLD but BANNED in VIC because 2-door

R32 GTS-T (Sedan), RB20DET (158kw), Curb Weight 1,300 (working off the approximation that sedan is 20kg heavier than coupe)

158/1300 = 121kw/tonne = A-OK for QLD & VIC

Disclaimer: OEM power outputs and weights coming from wikipedia. If anyone has any more reliable sources on factory power outputs and/or weights, i'd love to see them as i've found different answers for curb weights.

Also, does NSW go by the power/weight ratio or blanket ban?

I see thanks for the info !, however the power to weight ratio is going out the window soon as they start to modify ! would be interesting if police started using dyno's on p-platers who are running turbo cars, if they get sus about stealth mods. Im pretty sure NSW is just a blanket ban on anything with a turbo for a few exceptions like smart cars ! some NSW p-platers hoping that NSW adopt the victorian approach.

There will be different curb weights, even the factory workshop ,manuals have wildly varying weights for the same model depending on fitted options.

This 4 door 33 is going cheap. Non turbo.

:(

^ LOL

I reckon that Camry can keep up with a N/A skyline in traffic light GP... :ninja:

It certainly can't on paper.

Camry

133 bhp (99 kW) at 5,400 rpm

147 lb·ft (199 N·m) at 4,400 rpm

Weight 1361kg

Power to weight

72kw/tonne

Skyline

140 kW/190 PS (180 - 200 hp ) @ 6000 rpm

255 N·m (26.0 kgf·m) @ 4000 rpm)

Weight 1430kg

Power to weight

97kw/tonne

My 2c,

My first car was a R31 skyline 1989 series 3. You should be able to pic em up with mods for around 3k. Mine ended up with 120rwkw from the n/a rb30 and if you don't touch the outside cops most Likly won't look at you. Plus if you won't space can get a wagon version. Was a really good car to learn on my p's and now have up graded to a 32gtst sedan

When i was a p plater, i had a mk2 golf gti and got into n/a tuning, before i finished tuning the entire car fully, i went from 100hp atw to 145hp atw.

I went into cams, porting and polishing, exhaust setup, compression and finally ecu tuning.

I never got round to forging the engine and drive train setup.

Car had a set of bilstein shocks and springs in it and some high performance pads.

This was a 1.8l 8v engine, so not as bad. And all up i threw $3k into it.

My cousin had a mk2 1.8l 16v and that thing from factory had 139hp atw. Pretty damn impressive.

In my oppinion, nothing sounds better than a properly built N/A engine

My ute is p plate legal and has 200 RWHP which is close to 150kw, a locker and it's manual, it's fairly fun, pm me if you wanna buy it ;). I considered a non turbo skyline on my p's but decided it wasn't worth it. The time goes by quicker than you think.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
