Making R33 Gtst P Plate Legal

[casey_jade]

On green Ps and want to buy a r33 GTST just wondering what its going to cost approx to remove turbo so its legal? and what are the actual laws for modifications and what counts as a non legal p plate modification- are they only performance mods?

How far are you through your P2 license? Becuase I've got news for you and it's all bad.

It's not just as simple as removing the turbo to make it "P-plat legal". The engine is designed for a turbo and has a much lower compression ratio than a N/A engine. If you remove the turbo, the car will run like shit and be completely underpowered. And guess what? The car still isn't tehnically legal, because it's registered as a turbocharged car through the transport department.

People have tried this on more than one occasion, despite all common sense. The one conclusion they have sadly come to is that it's a waste of time and money.

Pro-tip. Drive a P-plate legal car until you're on an unrestricted license and buy a turbocharged car or buy a turbocharged car as a project, whilst still driving your original car.

Some work is involved to remove turbo, and a key difference between a turbo and N/A is compression ratios. Ultimately buy a N/A one, it will also be cheaper in the long haul.

Cost & general stuffing around isn't really viable. Buy a N/A, wait til your on a unrestricted licence, sell said N/A, buy a turbo then start spending $ modding

[32_Dave]

basically you cant do it at all, just wait till your off ya p's bro, get something cheap and good on fuel, cause your gonna need it when your future skyline f**ks up.

Have driven v8s and mates done up cars before though, just want something i can legally drive

[PM-R33]

Well than you can't get anything that you are banned from driving, regardless what you add/remove/change about it.

Boobs make no difference but + 1 for driving course

and as said by a normal car or just a GTS and then once on opens drop an RB25DET in or buy the Car then

not quite sure what you being female changes. if anything it opens you up for blonde or kitchen/sammich jokes

before purchasing your car, perhaps invest in a less ambiguous name than casey.

from what i have seen being a female changes alot.. my housemates gf drives a s13 sr20det ... no front mount and looks standard and she has been pulled over heaps of times and never asked about it being turbo ... i could bet if it was a guy driving that would be the first thing they ask....Shes on green p's, has had this car since she got her red p's

[PM-R33]

She hot? If so perfectly understandable.
