Hey everyone!

I am looking at skylines atm, and im hoping to get a R33 GTST or a R32 GTST.

I am on my P plates and i believe both are slightly over the KW/tonne ratio.. though ive seen alot of GTST's on their P's. Can you perhaps add weight to the car to make it legal etc.. ???

Anyway, Is there anyway possible to have a R33 or R32 GTST on P Plates??

Thanks in advance :(

do a search. I think R32 GTSTs are legal in Vic but not R33 GTST.

I dont think you could add weight to the vehicle to make its power weight ratio worse (and therefore legal) as they would go by stock power/weight figures I would imagine.

The Victorian laws for calculating power to weight are based on the values in the owner's manual. So it doesn't matter how many subwoofers you stick in the boot.

2 seconds on Google to find the URL for VicRoads.

5 seconds on VicRoads to find this.

Seriously, developing the ability to learn without getting spoonfed isn't that difficult or time consuming.

Umm how can that be true, 33GTSt's have around 187kw (i think) and r32 gts-t's have 158kw.

R32's are legal, R33's are illegal.

hey dean

where abouts you from???

im from vic, so that means you can legally drive a r32t but not r33t.

i have a r33 gtst... theres heaps of people probably too many (on their P's) with them.

what ever skyline you get... theres probably a high chance that its gonna end up over the limit anyways.

if you drive a skyline with a [P] plate, your gonna get pulled over. most of then time, the coppas dont get you for the over power thingo, let alone illegal mods. if your lucky :)

cops will do you for a 33. they have recently been given specific instructions.

r32 - 158kw/1260kg = illegal for 1989-1991 coupes

r32 - 158kw/1290kg = legal for 1989 -1993 sedans and 1991 -1993 coupes.

The weights were changed in 1991.

Most R33's are illegal, except for the very few that came with rb20dets, not 25dets.

btw, a simple search, on google or this own site, would answer this query.

Also, most Skyline P Platers are driving illegally

I gave you your f**king answer right before I suggested you pull your finger out and try doing something for yourself.

How much more helpful did you want me to be than that? :)

Now why don't you go start a "vs" thread?

qld is good, i dont think there are any laws at all about what u can drive.. its just a matter of someone insuring you..

plus we dont need to display P plates, and before 31st of jan, 2005, we didnt need to show L's either..

R33's came out with RB20E's (which are reaaaaly shitty cars and WELL below the power to weight ratio), not RB20DET's.

I second this, in VIC, in the last couple of weeks one person I know who owns an R33 on his P's has been asked to provide evidence of why he's driving a car over the power to wieght, and a girl who owns an R33 GTS got questioned if it was a GTSt during an RBT, and even had the officer check under the hood for a turbo etc.

Yeah ^^ I knew they had one engine that is far too underpowered. :lol:

I am one of few people i know with a thirty two, on my p's, but i know of at least 10 local 33 P Platers.

Cops pulled me up the other night and checked under my bonnet. They only looked at whether or not it was a 2 litre or a 2.5

Kind of weird, as if you had an R32 GTS with the RB25de, or an R33 GTS with said engine, they may overlook they whole turbo tihingy.... anyways the point still stands turbo 33's are illegal

      I'll just leave this quick tip here after reading your joys of getting the car in the air. It should take no more then 10 minutes to get the car safely up on stands.  So for the front, jack on the tow recovery points (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). This photo is of a R34 GTR, however the process is the same. For the rear, jack under the diff (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the rear subframe or where the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). Which point you use will depend on your stand, pick a nice stable point.  You've probably already read this but it's worth repeating. When jacking up the car or using stands, stay away from the chassis rails/pinch welds. Even the factory jack point, stay away from that too unless using a factory jack. I used those jack points for years without issue until I turned into an old man and bought a QuickJack lol.

      And this is where the leak is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7h1vlmg2j5aa7rksvsjc9/IMG_9982.jpeg?rlkey=d3bnpau5f615zmxqmca0llvr7&st=kquvdxvs&dl=0   Apologies but it seems adding an image from a link does not work when the images are in Dropbox.

      Hi all, From the western suburbs here. Just got my 2000 R34 GTT registered today! Got it imported from Japan through a mate who is doing them and managed to find a decent one. This one has only done 110,000 Km and had no body rust etc. so was very happy. I used to own a 25Gt back in 2015 (ate Ramen noodles for years to save up for it), but unfortunately, it got stolen TEN DAYS after I bought it!! Came back from Uni and the car was missing - cops found it in Springvale a month later with a lot of needles  😒 It was too late by then and I had moved on to a different car (300ZX), and after that one got broken into around 2018, I was in a very bad place and decided I would never buy a car again because it was just pointless!!! ~yeah, I have some very bad mojo~ 🥺 But now, with a stable job and a secure garage, I thought I'd get the R34 4D again but not as a daily! I love the R34s but a GTR is still a bit off my pay grade so settled for the GTT instead.    The first step for me is to get this car serviced and have all fluids, belts and spark plugs changed. I might do the brakes at one point too but atm they are fine, the fluids are what I want changed since this car probably sat in a garage for a long time. I'll then get some coilovers since the suspension needs to be changed anyway (the dust cover kit is disintegrating). I'll also upgrade my car alarm to a Viper system and then look at rims and tyres (I'm a sucker for TE37s - might have enough saved in another 3 years for that).   Today: I was planning to do the oil, coolant, air filter and fuel filter change this week. Started on the oil change today and MY GOD what a pain!! I used to think the 300ZX engine bay was cramped - oh I was so wrong! 😂 I've done the usual services on my cars before so it was not like I was going in blind. I looked up all the forum details about what oils to use, what coolant to use, what points to use to jack the car or place stands etc but I did not expect it to be this hard. Long story short - all I managed to do was the oil and filter change. I think I might end up taking it to a mechanic for a coolant change because my SCA stands and trolley jack just can't get far enough underneath to the cross-member and I don't want to be crushed under my favourite car....yet. Side note: In Dandenong, there used to be a shop that lets you hire their hoists - does anyone know if they have those around? I can't seem to find the Dandenong place anymore. I contacted them off FB almost 6 years ago and I'm not in it now. If anyone know of one, that would save me some time going to a mechanic for the basic services. Oil: Dark and gooey but no metal pieces. Oil Filter: Was a b***h to take off but no red flags Air filter: Yucky! Was black (Smells like fuel which makes me think it may have been running rich? - am I way off?)   Concerns: I have but one concern atm and that is that there was a very small amount of oil leaking where the engine and the transmission connect (Automatic). It may be the rear seal? It's not a massive leak and it does not affect the oil pressures or leak oil all along the driveway. It's been falling into the cover this whole time. I've taken the cover off so I can check the garage floor from time to time.  I also have not seen my engine temperature gauge ever sit at cold and slowly move up to the right spot, but that might be because every time I saw the car today, it was running. I'll check that again tomorrow. ATM it just sits right in the middle. I may just be paranoid but I don't want an overheating engine while my gauges say everything is fine. 🙈 Other than that, I'm very happy with the car! Feels like it's about time I went back to spending my weekends driving or cutting my arm on stupid sh*t in the engine bay.   PS: I will post a pic later on because I underestimated soooo badly today and it was dark by the time I finished! PPS: I broke the two damn plastic pins that hold the intake funnel section to the front bar. This is the piece made to bring cold air to the airbox. The connection to the airbox is fone, but the two clips just broke off! Should I be worried? Anyone else done that?
