Simple solution; reregister it, and change it's tare weight to 1700 kgs or thereabouts. I know people who have done this with GTRs, and it works out to be less than 125/tonne, cops won't care as long as it is a bit of a sleeper

Over Power Restrictions

R32 Gtst Type - M Coupe (Automatic)

Power:158kw

Weight:1280kg

Power/Weight Ratio: 123.4375

Under Restictions

I worked out that from an RB20DET which produces 158kw that to be spot on the p/w ratio the weight of the skyline would have to be 1264kg's... so: If the skyline is under 1264kg's then it is OVER (Illegal) the p/w ratio, but if the skyline is heavier than 1264 it is UNDER (legal) the p/w ratio. I used to think if the skyline is an r32, and its a gtst then its legal but the one exception is for the 2 door 1989-1991 gtst wich weighs 1260kg. But, from 1991-1992 the weight increased to 1320kg making it legal. BUT, does the restriction include the weight of the driver, because the 89-91 2 door gtst is 4kg's under...

it's based on factory quoted output, and does not include weight of driver. The p/w ratios you have there are what they use.

Also note, that the only skyline on the vicroads list of restricted cars is the '32 GTR, because it was the only skyline released on the australian market.

Most cops don't know that 33 gtst's are not legal for pplaters - though i'd imagine TMU cops would have a fair idea.

As mentioned before, maybe you should have found out if you could drive it *before* buying the car. Did you have a question, or were you just whinging?

You could drive it on p's, but just keep in mind if you make an insurance claim, the insurance company could say that you were driving unlicensed. as you wernt licensed to drive that particular car.

The only way i can think of to get around that rule, would be to buy an R33 GTS, and put in an rb25det.

How Many Times Does It Have To Be Said?!!

It Is Factory Weight... Taking A Shit, Taking Out A Spare Wheel, Or Sticking A Sticker On It That Says 2000kg Doesn't Make You Any More Legal. And the cops won't accept that for one second either.

Get Over It!! You Are Not Supposed To Be Driving These Cars in lovely victoria.. And Cops Will Punish You If You Do. You'll Be Selling Your Car Before The End Of Your P-plates Anyhow... if it even survives that long.

      By bigboss59400 · Posted

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
