because its the need.....

...the need for speed.

:laughing-smiley-014:

:pwned:, for shiz

Ahh well, I got a GTS just to be sure these rules didn't stuff me around (cauz i new it was only a matter of time), otherwise i would have gone the turbo option. But to be honest i think my car has enough stick to keep me entertained...........for now :pwned:

Thanks for the info guys,

If you are referring to a R33 GTS, then disregard my post

but the 1991-1993 R32 Gts-t is P-Plate legal under the current p/w ratio.

Although once these new laws come out, no doubt it will be a tough time explaining it to police that yes its turbo but legal for current P-Platers lol. Prolly give me a defect for proving him wrong haha

Although if you are happy then enjoy without the added stress :ninja:

nahhh no way, I would get the R32 for sure :( lol

Yeah, thats exactly right, even if you are under the legal ratio, just for having a turbo you would get more interest from cops, again adding to my decision just to go NA

I think I'll just wait till I'm off my P's before the dream car (R32 GTR Ohhhhh Yeah :(), plus i just got a smick zorst on it :), no way i'm selling it now till i have too lol

Thanks again for clearing all this up for us mate,

$1100???!!!!!

Wasnt it like a bit more than 100 before? I wouldnt know because i havent had one...

The fine used to be $110 and no points, but damn now $1.1K + 3 points? i dont think there will be too many P platers on the road with performance cars after the set date

"Penalties

From 1 July 2007 the penalty for driving a high powered vehicle will be three demerit points and a maximum fine of approximately $1100. These penalties will apply to both the current power to weight restrictions and the new high powered vehicles restrictions."

Thats sooooooo gay, means i cant drive my valiant anymore (5.2 litre, 220hp, 1350 kilos = :() without risk of losing my other 3 points and my licence.. They used to give a warning, i wonder if they still will

A mate of mine got killed in a Hyundai Excel. These law's won't stop the road toll. Driver training is what's needed.

I used to have a sticker on my old car, maybe I should get it reprinted. It said: Don't ban high performance cars, ban low performance drivers!

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
