how much power does a subaru forester make ? i think that itself might be over the limit also. And if they do end up banning turbo cars altogether, well then your still driving illegally.

How long do you have till you get off your p's ???

You have been driving the car around legally for the amount of time you have owned it. Well assuming you have an r33.

Dont drive stupidly or in dodgy areas late at night (chapel street) etc ... and you should be pretty fine.

even if they do bring in the no turbo law, i doubt they will be able to make it apply to those who already have their P's or those that already own a turbo car. just like it is in NSW, those people are exempt.

you have that pink 33 yeah? you're already breaking the law by driving it, so whats the difference

No its not pink lol my phone makes it look pink but it does have a pearl anyway with that out of the way, its not the power to weight issue i just cant b f*kd having to worry about shit now, i dont give f*k bout the law but oh wells.

But i do think it is time to sell my car now anyway :)

Dezz, the law already applies to you because most Skylines are already illegal to dive with P's. Once the new laws are passed, the cops will be acting on them and enforcing the old ones.

The police have been very lax in enforcing the power to weight laws, but wait and see what happens once a bit of media attention, on the laws, occurs.

Dezz: Driving a R33 gts-t has been illegal (on P's) for at least 10 years, as these power to weight laws where around well b4 i got my P's, 10years ago.

Other Skylines are also illegal, to dive with P's, but as stated b4, in the last 6yrs cops have not really enforced this law. 10yrs ago you would have been "taken to the cleaners" for driving V8's, let alone our hi-powered turbo engines, which in most cases are housed in a lighter body.

yeah a forester would be a good choice if you want good power.

its a shame they're having the restrictions now.

be a good pimpin' wagon and good as a practical run around.

I'm not too sure which cars are restricted but I know there are some NA cars worth having, DC2 integra, Corolla Sportivo or even a fully worked AE86.

so whats the law exactly say.? is it just a fine? or do they take your car.? a cop can give you a fine for n e thing. i got one once for crossing the whit line in the middle of the road. "Failing to keep left". i swear i didn't cross the line. what can you do.?

Forester would be a good choice as the are ausi and heeps of parts 4 them or get a no turbo 1 now then get a front cut sti from jap and change it

sudys better than v8s holden fords i think

james

think the fine for power/weight is like $100 or something

if your just gonna get a fine. then i wouldn't even bother getting a new car. i tell you i would rather a power to weight fine. than cop a roadworth or an epa. cops usually dont go the double fine, if your nice. obviously if your an ass you gonna get every fine they can think of.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
