was pulled over 4 times over the weekend and everytime accussed of driving a high powered car. i know i know.....me? driving a high powered car? rubbish........nehoo it seems that all the police are now carring spred sheets of all the latest and popular imports on the market. but to my suprise they did not have the R34 Down. when i popped my head aroudn to take a look he turned his back to me. when i asked to see the sheet he refused, wdh? they looked at my Engine and said "yep RB25DET" and looked straight at the R33 on their sheet.

i explain to them that yes the r34 does have the same engine (kinda lol) but its way more heavier (i told them 1510kg) so the power to weight ratio worked out perfect for me. (187/1510=123.847kw/tonne) so they let me off each time. yes i know that the r34 is not 187, but since they were using it, why couldnt i

turns out that my rego says the cars weight is 1320, which i believe is a R32s weightl? and their comparing the power of a r33 with the weight of a r32. i guess in the long run cuz they are the cops not much we can do much but, do any of u r34 drivers out there get the same thing? im gonna pop into VIC roads and ask em why are they mixing my car up.

yes i know i know all the obvious comments and yes r31nismoid that if i didnt drive the car i wouldnt be in this spot in the 1st place but i am :P

so the topic at hand is, r34 owners do u ever get mixed up? and what about the others?

R34 is around the same weight as an R33.

it makes more power.

therefore, the power to weight is higher.

therefore, it is illegal to drive on Ps in Victoria.

while Vicroads might not have updated their records yet, it won't take long.

shouldn't this be in the vic section?

R34 is illegal. Like stated 1000000 times before. Get over it.

You going to call VIC roads and what do you expect them to say?

Seriously you should have been busted each time but you got lucky.

btw 206/1510 = 136kw/tonne

Police dont follow the weight thats on your sticker either. Most r33's have different curb weights on their rego stickers. Mine said 1370.

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
