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.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
