I believe the authorities, ie RTA/VicRoads, go by the engine number/model. Hence removing anything from the motor won't change the situation. They still see it as a turbo motor, they couldn't care less what you've "modified".

As Jimbo2000 has suggested, you are probably best off to go and buy a GTS and rice that up. (Really pains me to say that but I guess everyone has different tastes :D )

Yeah don't bother having a nice car when your young.

I got my r34 when i was 20 and while it's great to go fast around corners in it.

Nothing beats being in my mate 85 pulsar rallying around on dirt roads.

Crashing into ditches and getting it back out, etc, etc

ahh damn, i thought i could just remove the intercooler, turbo, n all the accesories wack on a radiator and retune the motor. wont work?

DOnt worry, every other young person has thought the same thing as you, you aint a pioneer :D

Simply put, if the motor is turbo, a turbo must be on there. Taking it off doesnt make the car legal at all as it wont meet emissions.

Simple put, buy a N/A CAR... then sell and buy a TURBO CAR.

It will workout cheaper in the end, and be less of a headache

you can't just buy a turbo and make it non turbo and think it will comply with rta standards..

Your rego and stuff will say GTS-T Turbo, no matter how much you argue that it isnt, it still is..Insurance won't touch you. I have the gts and insurance wouldn't touch me for under 4 grand.

Rta won't register you etc.. Be smart.. buy a n/a. Do whatever the hell you want then buy the freakin turbo.. You ahve 3 years.. whats the rush.

my 2 cents.

man thanks once a again for ur help everyone. im so p'd off, these laws are ridiculous, are these laws only on NSW? im gonna move to brissie or mebourne if thats the case. hehe.

pretty sure SA is ok with it at the moment...but I could be wrong. been a loooooong time since I was on my P's (feel old saying that).

I bought a n/a 1991 S13 Nissan Silvia (SR20DE & auto) when I was 19 and loved it - because I didn't know any better. I was paying $1700 a year for comprehensive insurance and thought that was ridiculous enough so didn't really want a turbo at that stage.

4 years later I sold it and bought a '92 turbo silvia (SR20DET - also auto) and wondered how I managed to think the n/a silvia was fast?!

Still, you obviously have no choice, so at least if you go with a n/a R32 or something you'll get good fuel economy and the only thing you'll be missing is the straight-line performance. You still get all the handling and looks of the skyline. Gives you more to look forward to about getting off your P's I guess. Plus you'll (hopefully) have a better insurance rating later when you eventually get a turbo'd car. When I sold my n/a silvia and bought the turbo one Just Car Insurance didn't charge any extra to insure the turbo silvia - it was the same price. :D

These laws are in place because too many < 20 year olds end up wrapped around a tree, or planted into someone on the wrong side of the road - often not only injuring/killing themselves, but passengers and innocent bystanders as well.

Insurance companies have known this for years - see premiums < 25 (or is it 30 now?), i'm shocked it took the government this long to work it out.

As to your original question - No. The car will run like shit, and then there is the whole car model/engine designation to deal with. You COULD get the car engineered (lol - twice) but thats an assload of hassle.

hardly.

My rims being different widths, my tint and the fact that a smidgeon of oil was leaking from the pressure sender was enough for them to tell me to go fix it.

:P

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      What Music Are You Listening To?

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?

      Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
