pfffft, go some auto 2.6L magna

stock up on head gaskets, too

and put a long range fuel tank in the boot to fill with oil. then you just have to remember to fill it up with fuel every second time that you have to fill up the oil, LOL

it runs just like a rotary, i swear

  • 3 weeks later...

seriously man just focus on your handling and brakes. Lots of people i've noticed just like more horses and horses and do nothing with it. Hell my n/a r32(near stock engine) beat a friggen fairly modified r33 gts-t uphill and downhill simply caus he couldnt take the corners as quick.... and who gives a sh*t if some smartass in an SS thinks he has the biggest cock caus he smoked a skyline.

Probably just a little off topic lol but what im trying to say is you dont need heaps of power to have fun. im in the same boat as you and i am happy pushing my pussy engine to the max. the day i beat that turbo i have a totally different way of looking at my fairly stock car, i dont get as angry bout the gay p plate rules. Jesus im talkin like im takumi fujuwarra or something, f*ck me dead im bliiiiiiiiind, get roooooooooowdy!

Yeah hate to say it mate but you’re not aloud to have any performance mods at all. I got my license last year and drove around a worked Subaru for about six months without a drama wasn’t till I rang to see if I could drive a gts-t that I was filled in on the rules. Terns out I have the same performance restrictions as a red p plater.

Absolutely no engine or drive train modifications that enhance power performance, even changing diff ratio isn’t aloud. Has to be stock specs. Though all other modifications are welcome, like suspension brakes, interior or sound system (has to be road worthy off-course)

Though I have an fairly exhaust and pod filter on my 33 and even though I get pulled over for a check at least once a week I have never been hassled for modifications.

If its any consolation if a na 34 has as much go as a na 33 (which I would assume it would), you wont be disappointed with the power anyway. Even mine was stock I was very happy to find it went pretty darn hard.

I'm not sure about where you are Panda, but I know that in NSW if you held your provisional licence prior to the new laws, you are exempt, provided you haven't had any disqualifications since then. Seeing as you drove around in a worked subaru for 6 months, did you have your licence before the new laws?

I got my license December last year. Though in Vic (where I live) if you got you license in June or July last year (a year before the new laws kidded in) you have the same power restrictions. Of corce in typical Vic roads mannor there was absolutely no notifications when I got my license.

It’s all absolutely hopeless, I mean the rules are understandable but the rules are set so stupidly that most people aren’t even sure of the rules. Before I called Vic roads to find out exactly what rules I had I asked my cosion who is a cop and even he didn't know that I had these restrictions, even most people at Vic roads don’t know... How the F**K can we abide by these rules if no one knows them?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
