just do what i did... put the thing on a dyno with the plate get the shop / engineer to sign that with the plate in it makes xxx keep the plate in keep the paper/ certificate in your car if they pull you over show them the plate show them the sheet ...... if they fine you take them to court.... your under the power to weight...

They use these restrictor plates in racing so certain cars with more power can race in certain events.

Good advice Warren. Why do people keep posting to this thread saying "do this, do that" and it will restrict the power. The EPA/VicRoads/Police wont care if you remove three of your cylinders and say "Officer, its only got the power of a Suzuki Cappuccino". They wont give a shit all they care about is RB25DET FACTORY power output. They will look at there data and go "Legal or Illegal" therefore dont waste your time with an engineer or dyno. You could drop an SR20DET in there if you have a spare $5000 laying around and are prepared to lose a further $5000 when you try and sell a Skyline 6, with a 4 cylinder engine in it.

In fact I wont be surprised if you have a summons to appear in court over this- The guys at my work still maintain that this is a court going offence.

You were just really unlucky. I had my P's extended for 12 months after a being clocked driving to Sydney in my first year of driving (funny enough it was in a SR20DET Silvia) and have therefore had my Skyline just short of 2 years on my P's. I have been pulled over maybe 5 times in this period for various things and not once have they wanted to look at my engine nor question the power output. There is a huge inconsistancy with how police handle these situations. One person gets done while the other goes free. When we see those flashing lights behind us its a bit like going to the AFL tribunal (you never know what will happen)

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
