Hi,

I own a r32 gts-t at the moment and I'm tying up between going for an exemption or selling so i wanted to come on here and just ask around on what would be the possibilities of actually getting it passed with the rta. The gts-t being banned though it comes under the 130kw/t rules does my head in so i was thinking would there be the option of getting the car dynoed + weigh bridge cert just to show some figures for the rta and prove that it comes under laws? Also its stocker then your mums prius so would that benefit me in anyway? Another option is im currently studying at uni and my dad ownes a company car whilst my mum ownes her own car and uses it for work so that limits me to the gts-t, would that be an option?

cheers.

Hey mate if the car is banned it's banned. no way around it unfortunately.

There are certain cars that have been allowed as they fall under the 130kw/tonne limit. However sports cars like skylines are still disallowed. It just means you can drive your mum's VW TSI

A bit of a crap solution, but dereg the car and buy a shitty daily. Drive for 3 years with clean record, get full license, re-register car and enjoy.

R32s are holding their value somewhat, but if you're super keen to have one then keep it. Otherwise, sell and drive a nicer daily. In 3 years time other newer turbo cars will be cheaper.

I have read the S14's are p plate legal, I haven't checked the site, but it's a good turbo option for P platers. Heaps of wheel choice, body kits and dose, P platers dream.

Just checked, S14 and 15 are allowed. Pretty awesome P plate cars if you can handle or like the sound they make.

All turbo imports (at least from Japan) are still under a blanket ban. The S14 and S15 that are legal and permitted are the ADM models. A JDM S15 is banned compared to a ADM S15. So Skylines don't fall under the power to weight rule.

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
