Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, i'm after my second car (and am a skyline n00b) and basically want the most bang for buck without spending too much. Now my question is this, I live in QLD currently and am on my P's, but will most likely be moving down to Melbourne next year for study purposes. Does anyone happen to know if any of the turbo r32s are p plate legal down there? From what I can gather a gtst or gts4 might just scrape under their power to weight ratio? Like I said, i want something with a bit of poke and plenty of potential for modifications - and a skyline seems like a great idea!

And another question seems im here - gtst vs gts4 - can someone give me some ideas as to the pros/cons of each? I'm leaning towards the gts4, but any input would be great.

Thanks in advance guys!

Dan.

Hey,

Do a search on this topic as it has been covered loads of time! I'm sure the moderators will tell you the same thing.

The answer, R32 GTS-t and GTS-4 are legal for P platers in Victoria.

Cheers

Grant

You can drive a 32 Gts, Gtst or the GTS 4 one but not GTR

Btw if u got the GTST theres no room for mods otherwise you go over the power to weight ratio. :angry: as it comes in at 124.3 kw or something :S

Gtst: Looks more like a sports car but less room

Gts4: More Room but looks more looks less sporty

but it all comes down to Personal opion, search it all been asked before :)

Thanks guys! I was certain it had been covered before, but me and search function don't seem to get along :O And i thought the r32 gtst and gts4 had the same power output? Anywayz i'll go do some more searches!

I wonder then, are any of the turbo 33s p plate legal? Guess i'd better look into that!

Ciao! B)

Do you really know what you are talking about?

GTS4 does not mean it is a 4 door, it is a 4wd GTST.

Personally, i would prefer the gtst, as i think the rb20det is not torquey enough for the 4wd system and the extra weight. This is only my opinion, others may disagree

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
