Turbo R31 Skyline

[Romesly]

I’m looking to buy a first car and I found a turbo r31 CX and I’ve looked it up on the rms website and it only comes up with naturally aspirated versions. Was wondering if it was P Plate legal in NSW

There were no turbo R31s sold in Oz.  The R31 sold here was not even really the same car as the Jap R31.  Solid rear end, RB30 from the VL Commodore back transplanted into a Nissan to keep it competitive here.  If you're looking at an Aussie R31 wit a turbo, it has been modified.  If you're looking at a non-Aussie R31, then it's a low volume import.

If the RMS have no idea what car it is, the usual assumption would be that it is not legal.  The system is essentially, "if it's on the list, it's good.  Otherwise, go fly a kite".

CX? Do you mean GX? That's the base model.

For your first car, get something easy to insure. Or get a standard R31 Skyline, the 3L has plenty of go to get you into trouble.
