I got a quote from just cars. They said they would insure it for me. But when i asked them about the high powered car issue, they told me that it was up to us to inform them that it is illegal to drive and 'if' they found out it was high powered, they would not cover a claim. Also, i got quoted a premium of 1,650 as a 20 year old which isn't bad.

Of course they would. Because P plater in high powered car money is free money.

They'll take your premium, even if they knew full well you'll never be covered. They'd prefer not to know so "ethically", and I us the term loosely when it comes to insurance companies, they can get off scott free. If you take them to court saying that they offered to insure you knowing full well you're not allowed to drive that car, if they don't "know" its illegal they've got plausible deniability and can refuse your claim.

yes the insurance is a little ming mong my friend just got his r33 series 2 gtst and i was with him and we crash his insurance covered it was with just cars although it wasnt his fault they fixed his car then sued the at fault driver for the cash hmmm... still might pay for non at fault to get it done a little quick but probly not at fault good to find out....

Thanks sooo much everyone for all the response!! Has anyone heard of R33 series 1.5?? aparently they are legal on ur ps and they have turbo..

Well im still not sure wether to get a R32 gtst or 33 non turbod :S:S:S

Any advice or recomendations would be aweome!!!

thanks guys! :P

Hi, i'm new to this site, i am currently looking at getting a 4 door ER33 GTS 25t. now i'm on my P's, I have looked at vicroads, and they only list the coupe on the restricted list, so i am confused :laugh: , maybe obviuos the 4 door is heavier? Any way if the 4 door is legal could anyone let us know thanks!

PS Excellent site!

Laws vary from state to state.

The states that are toughest on these things (NSW & VIC) have both revised/updated laws since this thread was started (about 11 months ago)

Ask (or search) in your local state section for more information.

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
