Hey guys, i've put a deposit down for an R33 GTS, manual

Now.. i'm from NSW and already have my Automatic Provisional License...

I got the line because, i would like to learn manual and then get my P's on a manual for assorted reasons...

I am curious... what are the laws regarding this...

Do i simply learn it, go to the RTA and take the manual test? Or are there some other complications?

I was speaking to a friend from VIC and he said down there after you have your Red P's (auto) you can't apply for a manual license until you have your full license..

But, i know in NSW after a year on your red P's, you're allowed to drive a manual regardless of whether or not you have a manual license..

The big issue for me here is, am i allowed to resit my test for a manual car after having already recieved my auto license? ( I haven't held my auto license for a year) :)

I have checked the RTA website.. but the information i have found is already known to me..

P1 licence, signified by a red P plate, is issued for 18 months

Be restricted to driving an automatic transmission car or clutchless manual (depending on the vehicle in which the DART is undertaken).

( I can't find anything saying you can't resit the DART )

Basically i dislocated my shoulder 2 days before my Licencse test so I had to do it on an auto (Did it to my left arm) anyhow latter on when my shoulder was all better I did my test for the Manual. I had to re-do the driving test on a manual.............now im not sure if the R33 GTS is classified as a high performance 6 cylinder car...........if it is your not allowed to drive one under the new laws.

If you got your P's before the new laws came in then your fine otherwise your rooted.

And yes once you get onto your green P's they automatically give you the right to drive in a Manual anyhow.

This is the best of my knowledge as of 1 to 2 years ago........things may have changed since then........

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
