Funnily my P son has an exemption to drive an RS4, a High Powered Vehicle. I now want an exemption for him to drive a Moderately Powered Vehicle, an R32 GTST.

DOT, that used the Wiki info to get the RS4 exemption, now want info from the maufacturer re the power/weight ratio. It seems no other source of the info will do.

Any clues will result in my undying gratitude.

Ticket from a public weighbridge?

Letter from a Nissan Dealer

Do you have access to a workshop manual (hard copy or on-line)?

I'd say he got it for the rs4 cause it's a 'family' car not a 2 door sports coupe..

That's being said tho you may get it for the 32 depending on its power to weight ratio..

The RS4 came into the High Powered Vehicle at the time but is now only 106.17 kw/tonne.The 32 is 119.69.

Have emailed Nissan to see if I can get the power/weight on a Nissan letterhead, which is what DOT is asking for

Sorry also could you post whether the application was successful? My missus is getting her P's soon (she's not that young, settle down Internet) and we only have my R34. Seems a little silly she can do all her learning on the vehicle and then when she's finally qualified to drive it's suddenly too dangerous for her :S

Posted today. Will let you know when the exemption comes through.

My P2 son has an exemption to drive our RS4, so your missus should be able to get one.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
