Nice skyline, I know your looking forward to owning it

Best of luck on your driving test.. my tips remember to head check and check your mirrors ;)

Doesn't the aftermarket muffler count as a modification that increases power in victoria? And you get your license after July 6th?

Anyway, congrats, veyr nice looking car.

Yeah, I would assume the police can fine you for having engine modifications. Any mod to raise engine power is banned. Even though the muffler gives you nearly no gain in performance, it's still a gain :D

Congrats on the purchase

yeah this was actually a bit of a problem. when i took it to get pre purchase tested at the RACV i specifically asked about it and they say the minor modifications that are on it do not increase power at all. but when i buy it i am taking it to an independent place and getting them to check it as well, if it increases power i will have it removed and put a stock one on and if if doesn't then i will get them to produce a document saying it doesn't that i can keep in my glove box for when those nosey police pool me over.

i found it on www.carpoint.com.au and purchased it for 13k

just had my hazzard perception today and got 83%

:D

i doubt that'll wash....i recon you'd need an engineers cert at least to convince them that its equivalent to stock. Even then, they could be pricks.

anywho...

So what insurance policy have you got lined up? :D

I guess you can always show them the documents, but depending on the police officer, he'll just find something else to defect you for.

Good luck anyway and hope you don't find any major problems with the car.

Bro, hate to burst your bubble - but on your P's - even if the R33 is NA - I think it's still slightly over the 145 KW legal power ratio...check laws first mate - on your P's - NA or otherwise, with a mufler like yours - you would still get defected ... trust me, some cops are very strict... would get you for anothing they possibly can...

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
