[coco69]

[Guest RedLineGTR]

power/weight you just pay the fine. They may hassel you abit if they pull you over again as i guess they would have all things on record...isnt a r32 gtst legal for the power/weight rule?? i though r33 gtst were the problem??

[Guest RedLineGTR]

i myself at 2;30pm got done by the victorian police force. for speeding. my own fault and i dont bitch about it just about the $205 dollar fine which is smaller to what i should of got that night. I guess i'm lucky as well, 2 some extent on what became of the situation. I'm on P plates as well..

[Guest RedLineGTR]

coco where'd you get done?? some common area's??? or just random??

[coco69]

hey rob, that was a quick reply!

nah i got done coz of my non-standard engine... so not only just a defect, but i gotta produce an engineers cert

common enough for me, 8am sunday morning on my way to church, cruising 60-70 down stud road, scoresby. usual light traffic around me, i see this crazy silver xr6 cut and chop through the lanes to tail me. next thing i know, lights flashing as i'd just done a drive-by. hmpf! and greeted by everyones favourite officer.

i don't get what is a power/weight defect?

is it power to weight ratio ? as in too much power for the car?

:Oops:

[coco69]

they are seperate.

i got fined for power/weight.

as well received a defect notice for my engine and mods, that also requires me to provide an engineers certificate to clear.

[OKBANANA]

Dosen't the power:weight ratio go on the standard specifications of the car from the factory?

[coco69]

yeah it does... 206 @ 1400kg... i think im over

[paulr33]

is it an rb20det ?

Probationary driver licence holders must not drive high powered vehicles. A high powered vehicle is any vehicle with a power to weight ratio over 125 kw per tonne, or with an engine capacity to weight ratio over 3.5 litres per tonne.

Capacity to weight ratio is the capacity in litres divided by the weight in tonnes. Power to weight ratio is the power in kw divided by the weight in tonnes. In doing calculations, weight is specified in tonnes (1000kg = 1 tonne); capacity is specified in litres (1000ml = 1 litre); power is specified in kilowatts (kw) and is as measured at the engine flywheel.

The weight of a vehicle is the unladen mass specified by the manufacturer for the stock-standard vehicle (without options). Since 1988, this weight is specified on vehicle data sheets, as published by the Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services. Vehicle manufacturers provide the information used to prepare the data sheets.

The file attached below contains a guide to vehicles that are classed as high powered motor vehicles. The Guide only covers standard vehicles that have been made in Australia, or imported in bulk, since 1970. It does not include all high powered motor vehicles. If you are concerned that a model not included may be a high powered motor vehicle, then you may be able to get engine power and vehicle weight information from the manufacturer.

If your car is modified, you may also need to obtain an engineer's certificate and do your own calculations. You are also required to notify VicRoads of any significant modification. Penalties for not doing so are severe.

If you are a probationary licence holder, it is your responsibility to make sure any vehicle that you drive is not a high powered motor vehicle. The penalties for driving a high powered motor vehicle include a heavy fine, and may result in licence suspension.

Power to weight ratio is the power in kw divided by the weight in tonnes. In doing calculations, weight is specified in tonnes (1000kg = 1 tonne); capacity is specified in litres (1000ml = 1 litre); power is specified in kilowatts (kw) and is as measured at the engine flywheel.

Engine Code RB20DET

Engine Type Inline 6 cylinder DOHC 24 valve IC turbo

Engine Size 2.0 litres (1998 cc)

Max power 158kW @ 6400rpm

Max torque 265Nm @ 3200rpm

Forced Induction IC equipped turbo

Weight 1320kg

So:

158 / 1.32 = 119.69696969696969696969696969697

So yes according to factory specs you can drive an r32 GTS-t Type M on your p plates.

I think those figures are correct, feel free to correct me if its wrong. The

oh its got an rb26, haha then your screwed, way over

206 / 1.32 = 156.06
