Hey guys...

im not sure if this question has been asked before but im meant to be buying an 96 model r33 tomorrow after my old one was written off due to an accident, but my aunty was telling me they are going to introduce a ban on high performance cars for ALL p-platers, is this true?

i thought it was only for red p's which was meant to be introduced early this year or it might have already been introduced

if anyone knows more info would be good

cheers alek :mad:

yah cause my aunty is a driving instructor and my dad was talking to her.... she was saying something about them introducing it possibly later this year for all p platers and also some curfew on high performance cars after 10.30pm i wasent really clear on that one tho

Let me get this straight........ Their making new laws so there will be 2 types of P plates? Also are they banning high performance cars? What sort? What would be classified as "high performance"? How long will you have to keep the other P's for?

nah mate this is in syd, in here we only have the red-wite p plates

in vic

hi-proformnace cars (over 125kw per tonn) are already banned in vic

P's u got keep for 3 yrs? i got 2 more to go :P

The new restrictions only apply to NSW, the restriction on performance vehicles will only apply to first year p-platers (ie. red P's), if you already own a high performance car or you drive a family / work car you will be exempt from these restrictions and last but not least THEY WILL NOT BE BRINGING IN ANY CURFEWS FOR ANY P-PLATERS!!! :)

This proposal was just too unpopular so they are scrapping it, however passenger restrictions may be a possibility. (restricted to carrying just one passenger if you loose your licence and then get it pack.)

I hope this helps to clear a few things up.

If you have any concers over the new laws you can contact the Australian Drivers Group at www.ozdrive.org.

James should have his E-mail address on the site.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
