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.

It certainly can't on paper.

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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
