if he doesnt have one buy one or borrow one, best bet is to buy one as you'll have headaches from teh popo for having front mount & pod as your only allowed one intake mod. same applies for bov should be able to pick up both for under $100.

as for speedo no idea.

Sweet thanks.

So wreckers for the stock air box then? eBay didn't seem to have one.

I just hope the engine passes the compression test on Tuesday! I'm getting excited now!

I recnetly got a series 2 r33 gtst and was driving it home from endeavour hills to hawthorn and got pulled over within 45mins of owning the car, i showed the cop the rwc i got with the car so he didnt really look over it much, however i didnt have any p plates up, hadnt been to pety station to get any, so i got done for no p plates, i thought i was f**ked as being too powerful car for p plate driver, but he didnt mention it, LLuucky, but i havent recieved any letter from vic roads regarding licencing issues and its already been a month, strange?? im hoping someone f**ked up along the way cause i opnly have one point left... aaagggrrr

What are you asking exactly or are you just telling us a story?

[alr33x]

^^^

lol

not to mention mattyfreeman its your fault for buying a car you should be driving while on p plate licence.

[Mattyfreeman]

well i think people here are unsure about whether they can drive a r33 turbo on ps or not or not, i was just saying that the cop knew i was on my p plates but didnt investigate whether i was aloud to drive the car or not, so maybe p platers are aloud. i had a look on vicroads websit and we r aloud to drive turbos but its limited to 130kw per tonne or something, so my reason for posting is to hopefully clear confusion for other members

[R31Nismoid]

What you have posted is factually wrong.

I doubt there are any P platers under the OLD system. (125kw/tonne)

The new system outright bans turbos - that is fact, that is on the VicRoads website.

Your story is one of luck only.

[krzysiu]

Lol @ noobs buying turbo cars thy can't drive on p's.

even then a r33 gtst is still over the power to weight ratio anyway

[bozodos]

should have gotten an R32, R33 was illegal under the old rules anyway

[ironpaw]

So only ONE intake mod allowed? I thought it was 2...

Damn - was looking at a car in QLD which had FMIC/Filter/BOV. Was planning to get rid of the BOV...but if I had to get rid of the filter as well...

[alr33x]

stock air box is much better anyway

[VSPECT]

stock air box is much better anyway

+1 i am spending money to go stock ..not pleased...

also bov is not an intake mod....or is it?

[HEKT1K]

i doubt it would be classed as in intake mod.. atmospheric venting BOVs are illegal anyway

[Jasonr31]

Has anyone had any luck getting a turboed r31 through a roadworthy? Have a mate that works at a place but he refuses to touch it because they didnt come turboed..

[R31Nismoid]

If it is a proper VLt conversion, with all factory RB30ET emission gear in place and a VLt ECU/cannister/injectors etc etc, then its totally legal.

So what about something like a BT-50..

I mean I highly doubt a cop is gunna rag on a kid for driving one as its hardly a performance vehicle , but technically it is a turbo

[R31Nismoid]

There is a list of permitted vehicles on the VicRoads website.
