i have been told by several cops that you aren't allowed to. all this while they scan my bay for a turbo...

Havent u learnt by now that if u want some information that has any relevance that cops especially traffic cops really dont know shit about cars.

Also i dont think vicroads would have every know car a P plater couldnt drive listed in their books.

- R33GTSt is illegal on your P's. that means if the cop has half a brain then you can be fined and lose your liscence on the spot for a period of time longer than one month (not sure how long it is)

This is not true... i have asked several cops and they also say it is legal to drive them' date=' And also Vic roads has a list of cars that p Platers cant drive and it does not appear on that list.

James.[/quote']

the rules for driving ANY car whilst on a probationary lisence state that a driver on probation must adhere to a number of rules

one of these rules is that they do not drive a 'high powered vehilce'

the definition of 'high powered vehicle' states that factory flywheel power and tare weight values remain under 3.5 litres per tonne or 125kW per tonne

the R33GTSt exceeds the 125kW per tonne rule and therefore renders it illegal to drive on your probationary lisence.

the list that cops have is a 'quick reference guide' so they can drive past a car and do a quick check of whether or not they are driving it illegally. obviously if they were to put all cars on then it would be a bloody long list

cops know the rules and can be pricks if they want

i couldn't agree more, just sharing my experience as if a cop thinks one thing, they will push it and prolly fine you for it if they believe it to be true.

Mate I don't doubt your a sensible driver but that don't mean sh|t out on the road unfortunatly. You've only gotta have a mate in the car pushing you or give it a little to much in the wet, ESPECIALLY in a R33 as it has no traction controll and it's all over and trust me I learnt the hard way. It's not so much your driving skills or how you drive it's the unexpected thats the killer. You say it's not the power of the car but thats like putting candy in front of a kid a saying "don't eat it" :)

have u already picked out the lightpole u r gonna hit?

hahaha soooo true...

Can't imagine driving anything on my P's but my rusted out shitter I got when I was 18. Still managed to drive it sideways around every corner in the wet, smack a few gutters and of course drive it straight into a tree... damn old school Benz's... UNDERSTEEEEER...

270kw... you must have very understanding parents...

WOW! Thanks Heaps guys for all the advice, i thin wha im going to do is save up a bit of cash, then sell the ole R31 and then get the R33GTS-T..

By that time (in say 5-6) months ill only have 5 months to go on my P's and it wont cost me as much.

Incidently, is there much of a power difference in the GTS compared to the GTS-T? Because i did think about getting the non turbo car as i can get one for 12,000

Thanks again for all the imput. Chances are ill buy whatever i get off this site and then ...ill meet u at the lights :)

wise words man. Yea guess it is. I know how it is in da wet lol. gave it a little 2 much out of a round about and the back went out to the side.

you dont know how it is in the wet at all.

Even in the dry.

trust me... it takes a few good years of driving the car on its limits to even get half an idea of where they stand.

Even i get into a pickle at times, and i'll freely admit that and i've been hanging my cars ass out around corners for a few years now.

Just ask dj_lethal, he's seen me in the wet... and thats with a few years up my sleeve, but all it takes is a millisecond to stuff up a dorifto.

yer, there is a fair bit of difference, not so much in outright power as such, but delivery too.

Still, if you sensible, buy a stocker 33-t in a few months when you got moe money.

Then learn to drive it as it is, then slowly modify it.

best thing you can do

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
