Hey all,

I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I drive an r33 GTST and i'm on green p plates, i got my ps before July 1st.

Got a fine and points for driving it today.

Just wanting to know if anyone has had similar troubles and if there is anything i can do.

I will be defiantly garaging it until I get off the Ps.

Cheers.

33's weigh more so why would a r32 pass as legal? but r33 power is more.

2007? then turbos are legal, however power to weight might not be.

what was the actual fine for? if it is power to weight, you could get it dynoed then show vicroads the power, might work.

If you got your P's before July 1st 2007, then you don't have the turbo restriction, only power to weight.

Yes you are right, R33 is heavier, but R33 has a bigger engine 2.5L, oppose to a 2.0L R32.

So the R32 GTST is legal.

If the R32 was stock (which has to be anyway, because on your P's, you can't mod anything to increase power), then it should be fine, also the age of it will also result in a tiny bit of power lost anyway.

You want to know if there's something you can do? What do you expect to be able to do? You broke the law and got punished for it...that's the end of the story as far as the state of Victoria is concerned.

Hopefully you learn from this lesson and garage the Skyline / buy a more suitable P plater car.

I do want to thank you for coming forward and posting this...it should be stickied to serve as a warning to other people that you can get caught for it...and that this is far from the worst that can happen to you when you do drive illegally.

its 3 points and a big fine isnt it?

i got $236 and 3 points, On VicRoads site it says they can fine up to $1100. However I have read on here people have been let off with warnings. Thing is the car is stock, you see P Platers driving much more high powered skylines as well as other cars that are so obviously not legal.

Live and learn on my part i guess...

I'll give you simple reply mate...firstly, sorry to hear that you've been fined etc...just gotta garage it and wait until you get off your P's. Driving it is a risk and you'll go paranoid ever time a copper drives past. It's not worth it. Just gotta face reality mate.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
