Neither will the cops. Hell, they even let L-platers drive around in HSV Senators (coz there is 'technically' a fully licenced driver in charge - but not in control - of the vehicle). Its absolute BS, if it doesn't raise money, its not good for road safety.
Erm: WRONG
A stock R33 GTST will NOT make 150kw at the wheels

look at the factory kw figure 187 do the maths urself. I am indeed right. mine made 155 at the wheels with an exhaust......but thats neither here nor there.....

How can you say it is fine? 125kw per tonne a skyline is calculated using 1400 or 1.4 tonne......how much over is 187kw on a car weighing 1400kg????

erm: Right

akeenan: Might be time to do more homework champ, an R33 GTST will NOT make 150kw at the wheels straight out of the box untouched.

A GTST with a turbo back exhaust/pod etc will be making around that power.

FACT

rwkw of an R33 GTST stock is closer to 130kw.

i used the figure "around" 150kw i didnt say is was exactly 150kw at the wheels. This around figure was generated from the knowledge I have of 3 r33's all with aftermarket exhausts and all were around 150kw on different dynos...but that wasnt the argument.....the argument was the fact that technically and r33 is illegal for a plater to drive according to the factory power stats!....

I work for VicRoads and believe me, they will register anything that is roadworthy. It is not up to them to police who is driving what. That is for the cops to do. For all they know, you could be putting it in your name for your old man to drive or something like that.

I tried to find the list that says what cars a P plater cannot drive, but there is no link to it on the VicRoads website.

But as it has been said, 125kw per tonne is the limit.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
