Sorry mate a R33 GTS-T is considered a no go for P-Platers, but as you can see there are plenty on the road.

When released from the factory, I think they are around 187kw at the engine.

Cheers.

If you work out the power to weight ratio of a gtst 33 its:

187/1.4 = 133.6kW per tonne.

Victoria regulation states P plater can only drive cars that has a power to weight ratio 125kW per tonne.

However, that doesnt stop me :)

Doesn't stop most people..

would you be interested in non turbo 34?

Non-Turbo 34 would be absolutely awsome...but it's a little above my price range from what i've been lookin at....what are you asking for price wise?

Can't drive a 1990 R32 gts-t in manual as dry weight is 1260kg's (works out to be .4kw's over).

That's the info I got from Vicroads anywayz.

dont get a non turbo. either risk it or wait.

the reason i went non-turbo, is because my insurance is a fair step cheaper, also i can drop in a turbo engine at a later date(once i'm off my P's)...nothing like a skyline sleeper to kick people in the pants with!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
