Gtr On P's

[RBLUV]

Hellow fellow liners,

Currently own an R32 GTS and looking to upgrade to a GT-R

The problem is its 15kw over my 125kw per tonne limit.

Ive been told i can remap the ecu so the output of power is less and ill fall under the limit.

Is this possible?

Any help/advice/abuse welcome.

Cheers.

I believe the ban is based on a stock standard car, as such you cant drive it legally even if you reduce the power. Its still a GTR, it still originally makes too much power, its still on the banned list.

[paulr33]

the ban is based on factory power output and not current or dyno'd power.

while it is possible to own one, sit in the driver seat, rev it, spool up some boost, and be in awe of all of your friends it is certainly not legal to drive one on the roads.

not to mention its a f**king bad idea as far as safety is concerned

not to mention what you hit when you slide at 80km/h cos youve boosted it and the 4wd has snapped it back into line when you've lost traction, its only a matter of what do you hit, a tree, a wall? someone else's car? a child?

paulr33,

here in perth with have a few p's with gtr,

one has run a 10.8 the 1/4mile, the driver is very smart, depends on the person

[paulr33]

but that certainly doesnt make it legal does it ?

[RBLUV]

And all this is based on the fact that you think p - platers are bad drivers? Or are you gona push it with the inexperience argument. I respect cars.

[paulr33]

honestly mate i couldnt care less about what sort of driver you are or how good you think you are or arent. im sure victor bray was the same when he was on his p's too. the matter of fact and the purpose of this thread, was could you drive a skyline GTR on your plates, and the simple answer is no

legally you cannot.

well said

[RBLUV]

any other opinions?

U get a gtr now

and on arguement about p platers

i put this to u all

u are a good driver now ( we all throught we were)

u will only get better smarter faster

next step would be a 34 gt-t they are dropping in price as we speak

[paulr33]

34 gtt and 33 gtst are over power to weight rule

[RBLUV]

r33 gtst? they are everywhere on the road..like everywhere..

[paulr33]

that doesnt mean its legal does it?

[LO_R33]

Thats so wrong. Here in canberra you can drive ANY CAR YOU WANT on your p's. My mate had a r32 GTR 3 years ago when they were hell expensive, and rare as fcuk! He was only 17 years of age, and he never had any problems with it? Again, its the attitude. Depends where you live too man, i suspect your in VIC because of the power/weight and then if thats the case, you cannot drive a GTR. Tough break really:P Move to canberra, how about thhat for an idea?

I'd just like to point out that some of us do legally drive GT-Rs on Ps and haven't wrapped them around any trees (heh. rhyming). Obviously not in Victoria though

[scathing]

any other opinions?

Its not a matter of opinion.

If your concern over owning a GT-R is because its over the power to weight limit, then your issue is whether its legal.

And that's not a matter of opinion. The law is pretty f**king black or white.

You're fishing for an answer you'll like, rather than one that's accurate, if someone tells you where you stand legally and you start asking for other opinions. You might get an answer more to your liking, but it will be wrong.

It sounds like you're not mature enough to drive any sports car. Another opinion, since you asked, is that you should trade your car in and buy a Corolla.

sorry through u were having a go at p plates here in perth its very legal but as its already been stated where you dudes live it isnt...

keep your car till youre off your Ps, then buy one. keep in mind youll need another 10,000 to fix up the thrash 15yo gtr.
