Hey everyone, I know this has been done to death and will probably attract a bunch of awesome replies that are in no way relevant to my question, but I'm gunna ask it anyway.

A good mate of mine has just put down a deposit on a Type M 32 GTS-T and I'll be driving it home for him tomorrow. As a lot of you may know, the laws have changed in QLD recently. They now state that a p plater may drive a turbo vehicle if falls under 125kw/ton.

What he wants to know is, what does he have to supply to qld transport to get the exemption? There was a bloke selling his 180sx on here who had an exemption due to the new laws, so if you're reading this and wouldn't mind chiming in, we'd be appreciative.

There are no legitimate stats from Nissan that I can find indicating power to weight, so I'm assuming it may be a matter of weighing the car and giving that info, plus legitimate info on the 20det's power output to qld transport.

If someone with experience regarding this could lend a hand that would be sweet.

If not, we'll just remove the turbo or he can drive it without an exemption, because insurance and the law aren't really important (just kidding).

Cheers

asians shouldnt have more than 50kw/tonne.

Excuse me? I believe this very forum itself is built around on asian cars and in which 99% of all cars in this forum has been driven by an asian once ;)

Soon one day, it will become inevitable that on either side of this emoticon, it will be an asian :3some:

Black people are allowed to say the n word, brah.

Aparently you can go into QLD transport and get one with no legitamate "reason". Just a matter of filling out forms and proving your car falls under the legal limits. I reckon if you google "Type M 32 GTS-T power to weight ratio" something will come up.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
