I live in Victoria and I am planning on importing a GTSt SPEC II Skyline R33 into Aus. I have some questions though. For P platers who drive GTSts, is it possible to register these in your own name? Or have you needed to register them in your parents names? Obviously I query this only because of the pointless power to weight ratio. Legally in court I heard that it does not stand up? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.

yo, getting back to your original question regarding the registration, i am a p plater...yes you can get an r33 registered in your name you dont have to get it under your parents name.

i got mine registered under my name and i also know of other people who did the same.

There is nothing to stop you owning it. The law only says you can't drive it.

But even then, the police won't be bothered enforcing the law. They reckon its too hard to do the calculations, despite they don't need to do any calculations because VicRoads has a list. They all seem far more interested in collecting revenue from speeding fines than in protecting members of the public and promoting road safety.

In these litigious times, I can see the day when the family of a P-Plater killed while driving one of these 'high-powered vehicles' will sue the police, government, Vicroads and anyone else for failure in their duty of care to enforce the law.

there are many holes in the law 1 such example being that:

it is illegal for a p plater to drive a care over 125kw per tonne however if it is the only car a plater has access to it is legal. If you father drives a 500kw gemmini you can drive it on the road without any hassels.....within reason.

Well I understand that. But unfrtunately the family has many cars under the power to weight ratio. So in court, if i did in fact get in trouble would I be able to get out of it? I was thinking if i got an engineers report stating that the car was under the power to weight, then if ipolice tried to charge me on it i could provide this to them? Or any suggestions...? By the way, how much for you Black GTSt? thanks. alex

hey alexR33:)

u should find the name of an import broker in melbourne then ask him all the questions. they can send u pics etc so u know what u'll get for specific price ranges.

a black r33 gtst, manual gearbox, about 70,000kms on the clock, sideskirts etc.. good condition would prolly cost $24g??? find an import broker they'd give u heaps of info on every query u have:)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
