another sleeper: subaru B4 a good eg: http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/DesktopDefa...lias=carpointau couldnt tell it has about 206 kw's. but i think the greatest sleeper of all time has to be the Audi RS8. Looks like a audi staion wagon. but under the hood is a twin turbo V8 with around 400KW's. Only the fat ass tyres and a few little air grills gives away what a monster it is. (well until u start it anyway, that engine note is un belivable) go here to see what i mean www.bb-automobiltechnik.de/ gal_rs4.html

ye they are on the list. Subaru Impreza 2.0 4WD WRX G Sedan 155kw's. which is even more weird why they dont have gts-t at around 180 kw's.

After seeing the news and how the cops and vic roads will team up to "crack down on high powerd cars and P platers", i visited the vic roads web site to find that on paper, skylines are not written down as illigal cars for P platers. Can someone please tell me why the vic roads website for illigal cars for P platers only have "skyline GTR" and 350Z as the only illigal cars? i mean surely even a non turbo R32 is over the 125kw legal limit? They do make a disclaimer at the end of each page sayign that " The list is not exhuastive" etc, but my question is why do they have Aston martin DB-7's and Ferrari 550's as illigal cars for p platers (ye no shit) but no silvias or gts-t's? surely common sense would come through here. How many P platers drive around in DB7's and how many drive around in Skylines and silvias and so on. What do you guys think about this? The website could be seen here. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vrne/vrnint...nDocument&Area=[Learners+]

Hmm, i jus found out the guys that died went to my school (st bernards in essendon) thats even more hard hitting cos u feel you know them (although they are a few yrs to the jnr) my mate who knows one of the kids that died said, the other car was a prelude and they were mates and they were dragging for fun, and it ended in tragedy. That bit of road if anyone has gone down that road dips down and the tarmac changes from the smooth surface to the grainy sort of surface. I have actually spun once on the rain myself going under the speed limit! (cos my tyres was gettung bold) but i see cars crashed on the sid eof the road every time over there. It all comes down to experince and maturity, i mean when i drive there now i drive well under the speed limit (which is 70), cos the steering gets a lot less grippy as soon as u hit the surface. Im also going to write a letter to complain to vic roads. But people shouldnt drag on the streets, thats why there is the race tracks and drag ways. howveer my condolonses go to the family of the kids, i mean we have all done stupid things when we was young and some of us dont come out alive. And its the worst possible thign that could happen to a family.

starionturbo: some very valid points. The crashed car was Black, not silver so prob not the guy your talking about. Plus there are so mnay Nguyens with R33's, there are 2 at my uni alone! luckily it was none of those guys. But i rang them up to check anyway. you always feel it a lot more when its the same car u drive.

yes so true...and again like a few people ahve already said it was a "HONDA" and a "SKYLINE" not a Nissan a "skyline" what a Fkin joke. I mean if they said say a Integra and a skyline fair enough, but why say the make of one car brand and then a model of another. The media here is ***d, but hey, its nothing new. millions of people are dying in sudan cos of genocide but Chris Judd's g/f's dress gets 10x more news coverage. ***d up world.

"Why is it that the tools in the pissy civics, lancers, and excels always have to tailgate and want to drag you? Only such idiots have so far tried to g me up for a drag. I've never really bothered with them bcoz we both know my car will win, and because i value my licence I just dont get it... they see a skyline and automatically assume they're up for a drag" this is so true. Good on ya for thinking with ur head then your dick mate. Its funny though, a lot of the dickheads that come up behhind me and tailgate me are guys who have high powerd commodores or fords and are off their p's. Figures will show that most teens who die in fatal car crashes usually drive fords or holdens. So i dont know why the cops target us heaps. this is the 2nd fatal R33 crash in australia that ive heard about this year. I guess one will argue that its 2 too many.

it was a personal opinion mate. its fine if u dont agree. one may think that becuase they have 3 years of driving under their belt, thay know everything, but driving a high powerd car is a whole new ball game. I know it takes me a few hours to adjust to my dads mazda 6 when ever we go on long trips (and i have done many hours on this b4 i got my R33) so i cant even imagine how it would be like to have it the other way around. But what im trying to say is, it dont matter how old you are or what car you drive, it comes down to how mature you are.

"you just contradicted yourself. You've been driving your 'stock' skyline since you were 18. Does that mean you have broke the law since it is illegal to drive an R33 on p's?" i knew someone would say this. Yes fair point, even though you could technically get into hot water with this issue, most guys i know with stock turbo cars dont have any probs with cops. Like i said i drive up and own the princess highway (notorious for canaries) everyday and i have never had any problems. Often ive been waved passed by cops. Antoher point id like to add is, if you belive that anything over 125 kw's is 2 high for a P plater, then what if you jus got off ur p's and bought a 250 kw R33? And u used to have a say a corololla or soemthing. I think this is a worse scenario. A lot of people on here have cars well over 200kw's...then you could argue..do u really need a 200kw car. how long is a peice of rope?

I agree to a certain extent, but a lot of pplz say P platers should all have a 'advanced driver trianing course" > this itself causes problems. who sets these courses and how effective will they be? honetly. Now im not denying that giving people more skills bu having these courses will ulitmietly benifit them, however there is the danger that people will get ****y cos "they have done a advanced driving course" i know some pplz (even on here) who has done a 3 hour course with some 3rd grade race driver and all of a sudden they are 'expert drivers'. I think it all comes down to experince.

also like to add that i have done over 40,000 clicks since i got the car, 0 fines and only been pulled over by the cops 2 times for random breath test. Have never even asked to look at anything in the car. My car is 100% stock, and again, everyone complains about being dicked by cops and being targted by police, its pretty simple guys. if u break the law, u pay for it. Regardless if u have pod or been speeding or crash your car at high speeds.

"Bloody idiots, yet another reason why 18-21 y.o's should be kept out of these cars!" i cant belive what a lot of you guys are saying, having a go at all the 18 and 21 year olds. OK sure i understand where a lot of you are comming from, but when you was 18-21, if you could have had a R33 or soemthing, wouldnt u have jumped to get one? and if you say no, then you gotta be kidding. Im 21 and just about to get of my P's, and ive had my R33 gts-t since i was 18. It was my first car. I love it. It is very one eyed to say "all P plate drivers on skylines are hoons" i know some who are, but weather its a R33 or a Wrx or a Vl, it all comes down to one thing. The person who drives the damn thing. I drive up and down princess highway all the time (cos i goto uni at clayton) and often get dickheads who wants to drag and so on, but u jus ignore them. In the wet, take extra care cos we all know R33's are a nightmare to drive in the wet. I only really use the power to overtake. It dont matter wha car u have, if u hit a pole at high speeds, chances of living are very minimal. Sure, ive given it to the car here and there, on open rural roads when there is NO one in the car with me. Who hasnt? but its all about using ur brains and maing the correct judgements.

Hey guys, i wanan cut a hole on my stock box and have a pipe so more cold air gets into it, now i know there is a fair few threads on this sorta topic, but none of the links for pics work. so i was wondering if anyone has any links or pics of some sort of piping on a stock R33 air box? cheers.

hey zahos could u post those pics again plz?

does the k&n panel filters make any sort of noise compared to the stock ones? just curious.

Hey guys, jus regarding 'noises' the cold air induction systems make, Say i replace my stock ryco panel filter with a K&N panel filter (inse the stock box) will it make any significant make in induction noise? (im a sucker for that sound)

"F1 and Champ cars race on circuite de gilles villeneuve in canada, with F1 cars being 9 or 10 seconds faster around the track. " really? didnt know. As there any TV coverge of this? 9-10 seconds per lap? thats massive.

I used to be embarrased to admit that renualt has taken over nissan, but after seeing their new machine get off the line at a few GP's this year, im impressed. Though they gotta finish a few more races and last longer at a consitant speed. You know what i cant stand with the F1 though, its those 2 british commies, can they suck buttons dick any harder?

thanks for the links emre. Wow the champ cars and the the F1 cars are very even when it comes to performance. Except a F1 car weighs a little less. High reving N/A 10 vs Massively boosted Turbo V8. would love to see a 1/4 mile drag between these 2 machines. I saw the tape of Shcuey go agaisnt a French jet fighter and he lost 2- 1. its unbeivable that he managed to pull a win!

Hey guys, sorry this is a bit off the topic but i have always wanted to Know the majour difference between Indy cars and formula one cars. I hear conflicting things that the indya cars are quicker on a straight line but the F1 car will kill it on the track. the indy cars are turbo charged? correct me if im wrong and they use ethanol as fuel. So whats the majour differnce power and performance?

thanks fot hat man. from what i hear taking the red bit form the black bit is one of the hardest things to do!! its dman annoying that all that work will only be done to replace a 1 dollar diode!!!

Hey guys, i have a S1 R33 gts-t and recently i noticed that when i brake, my spoiler light dont come on but the other 4 brake lights work fine. Wonder whats wrong? is it a fuse? any help or info would be much appreciated. thanks.

hmm so what ur saying is, its pointless to change between OD on and off regardless of what speed ur going at cos the gearbox will chose the best gear? im still confused cos while i tend to agree with you, a lot of people in here tend to argue otherwise.

might sound like a stupid question, but would a R34 gt-t triptonic gear box fit straight into a Auto r33 gts-t?
