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

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?

      Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
