Could somebody please give me a link to the rules and regulations provisional licence holders (in QLD) have regarding power, engine modifications and stuff like that...

Since this is my first post i'll introduce myself.....

I'm new to the forum, I am not a skyline owner but hope to be within 2 years, I am in Emerald in Central Queensland...

Thanks,

Blair

Welcome Blair :wavey:

I am sure someone else will link it for you ( I am not good at nerd stuff like that "nerd in a good way" ) Where are you from ? I am guessing Vic ? as far as I know you can have all the power you like and mods are just the same as us , have to be engineer certified or just don't get chaught and defected !

beau, emerald is in central QLD, as he said.

I think he said VIC meaning hes come from there as thats the only place (i think) that has the power to age specs. as others have said in sunny qld no restricition but watch out its getting more like VIC defect wise every week.

There are no restrictions as yet, but they are "planning" to bring in restrictions in regard to the power to weight ratio for provisional license holders. Who knows when this will happen though as these things take time. Mod's must be legal (mod plated).

Good luck with the car and welcome to the forums though

hey blair,

no restrictions apply in QLD (yet) for that sort of thing.......

A word of advice though..... Take it easy on the pedals , as the coppers love to book young fullas in import weapons for any reason at all...... And 4 points dont go a long way!!!!! If you get my DRift! :)

wizard79, thanks for the words of wisdom, if i ever do get my "dream machine" like planned I will be as carefull as possible not to get any traffic offences, at least until im off my p's, I am from Emerald in Central QLD, I have been here most of my life, I just didn't know the regulations here and didn't know where to start, so i thought i'd ask here, thanks for clearing that up for me people..... At least i know I'm allowed to have the car i want....

I'll cya all around the forum from time to time :ghost:

Cheers

Blair

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
