i'm just wondering where the evidence to back power/weight is for "imports" besides the R32 GTR?

it's the only "import" listed at vic roads, cos it was the only one sold locally.

^^^^ thats very true

actually a mate of mine has a twin turbo soarer and said he has gotten away with it many times

he muttered something about it being a japanese import and something or rather

i never belived him.. but i never noticed this until you pointed it out

Pettett is a weak prick....i tried playing mr nice guy but that didnt work so then i started getting full smart right to his face.......the look on his face was so funny i dont think many people tell him to go f**k himself! Big deal $110 fine.......i dont think its within their jurisdiction to not let me drive the car after the fine. f**k him next time i'm driving off right infront of him and we'll see what happens. If i did the wrong thing then i'll pay the price, and if pettett's in the wrong i'll make sure my lawyer Mr Zolis will take care of him....also i'll make sure that the ombudsman, his commanding officer and any other party that may find it remotely interesting will be notified.

yeah petit knows he's stuff.. I know when i was driving my R33 i got done a few times for power to weight ratio and when i got defected another time the police officer told me next he'll take my car off me.. wasn't speeding or nething.. Jest be careful man, its the law u cant change it and dont try to find loop holes in it!

But with that said, the ONLY time they can take ur car off you is if u are commiting a serious traffic offence, like burnouts with people around.. Smokey on nissansilvia cleared this law up.. have a read its in the VIC section..

Do what i did, sell ur R33 and get an S15 lol!

good luck and dont drive through knox!!

hi

Technically you cant drive the car after he has booked you as you are still breaking the law. he could arrest you as a police officer can arrest to stop the same offence being recommitted.If he told me not to drive it i wouldnt test him out.

Think of it this way, if you were caught drink driving and charged you cant just get the car afterwards and drive home.

my 2 cents worth anyway

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
