Hi guys, I have a 33 Skyline GTST that is producing 380Hp and and was pulled over last week by Traffic Police. I have a top mounted GT35/40 that i have been instructed needs a mod plate. Upon visiting the engineer, we discovered that law states "if the turbo/supercharger does not meet factory specifications it is classified as an engine modification, which requires the approval of fuel system, brakes, gear box, and diff. I do not doubt the the components are strong enough, but in order to get it plated properly i need some kind of paper work confirmation. Does any one know or have access to the Hp limits of these components, or know of a factory produced vehicle producing similar Hp and using the same components? I know Nissan produced the 400R but have been unable to obtain a definate answer as to weather GTST's and GTR's use any of the same running gear/brakes. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Gearbox strength should not be an issue, and even if it was the GTS-T gearbox is as strong as the GTR one. Differential likewise.

The only thing you may need to look at would be the brakes, which would probably require an upgrade to GTR specs or so. Depending on your power levels, there isn't obviously going to be any factory 400hp or so (?) car to base anything on.

You may just need to visit a few more engineers to get their opinion.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
