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

Mulkers Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 No. Only turbo 'line that you can legally drive is an R32 BETWEEN 91 and 93, as these are the only ones below power to weight.

skyline.33 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/94267-a-question-of-restrictions/#findComment-1701360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarkei Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 dont get a non turbo. either risk it or wait. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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!
