No you cant have turbos unless you are under the old laws of just the power to weight where some could legaly make it under the benchmark.. these new rules = no no. :(

im on green P's and am on the older rules of it as i got my license in march 06 and have a r34 GTT, about 6 months ago i looked this up and was sure it said it had to b over 125kw per tonne AND 3.5 litres per tonne... and it said that if it was over one and not the other it may be driven.... but lookn at the vic roads site now it has changed from 6 months ago... i was gona print it coz it looked like a big loop hole and put it in my glove box, i did save it and send it 2 my mate but that was just copy pasting it. i havent had any cop trouble with my car but, n ive only got about 5 months left of being a p plater... u get ur license before july 07 mate?

Daz305 - its always been 125kw/tonne. Since the 1990's... Therefore GT-t is illegal.

You couldnt be more wrong im afraid as there is no such "and 3.5litre".

The website has not changed in years, there is no loop hole.

Its always clearly had "OR" on the website. There was no "AND" at all. I think you saw what you wanted to see, not what was actually there :banana:

Anyhow, topic has been done to death. VicRoads website contains all the information if you use its search function or navigate the menu's :(

I use it once a month or so and works a treat.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
