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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
