hi everyone, just a newbe question. i am looking into buy a turbo skyline but im not sure if it is going to be worth the hassle of having a turbo. i hear they need to be rebuilt every 60,000 kms costing 2grand, aren't good and overheat on long trips (which i frequently do) and if they do blow up the stuff the whole engine! are these things true? has any 1 had major issues with their turbos, or is a matter if you look after it right everyting will be good? what is a good amount of kms to buy a 2nd hand gts-t?

i've looked into that, if you got your P's before july 1st 07 you can drive a v8 or turbo as long as the power to weight ratio is under 125kw per ton, which the R33 is over. dont car's lose power as the age? so it could be argued the factory kw of the car is now less since the car is 12 years old?

lol yeah right. i live in the country and i've got mates on their P's that are driving 5 litre V8s and twin turbo 1993 r33's that have never been pulled over for power restrictions. i dont know if its a different story in the city. how to the police judge a car to be over the power to weight limit when they pull you over? they cant extactly weigh and dyno your car on the spot?

im in victoria, i've looked into vicroads and they say the car must have a power to weight ratio of 125kw per tonne. the 3 demerit points and the $1100 fine is the maximum penalty you could land if caught driving a high powered car or is the the standard fine?

hi everyone, im looking to buy a 1995 r33 gts-t m spec but im worried about the power to weight ratio of the car since im on my P's. i got my licence before the new laws came in but i cannot find standard factory specs for any r33 anywhere on the net. does anyone know a site where i can find these please??
