Could somebody please give me a link to the rules and regulations provisional licence holders (in QLD) have regarding power, engine modifications and stuff like that...

Since this is my first post i'll introduce myself.....

I'm new to the forum, I am not a skyline owner but hope to be within 2 years, I am in Emerald in Central Queensland...

Thanks,

Blair

Welcome Blair :wavey:

I am sure someone else will link it for you ( I am not good at nerd stuff like that "nerd in a good way" ) Where are you from ? I am guessing Vic ? as far as I know you can have all the power you like and mods are just the same as us , have to be engineer certified or just don't get chaught and defected !

beau, emerald is in central QLD, as he said.

I think he said VIC meaning hes come from there as thats the only place (i think) that has the power to age specs. as others have said in sunny qld no restricition but watch out its getting more like VIC defect wise every week.

There are no restrictions as yet, but they are "planning" to bring in restrictions in regard to the power to weight ratio for provisional license holders. Who knows when this will happen though as these things take time. Mod's must be legal (mod plated).

Good luck with the car and welcome to the forums though

hey blair,

no restrictions apply in QLD (yet) for that sort of thing.......

A word of advice though..... Take it easy on the pedals , as the coppers love to book young fullas in import weapons for any reason at all...... And 4 points dont go a long way!!!!! If you get my DRift! :)

wizard79, thanks for the words of wisdom, if i ever do get my "dream machine" like planned I will be as carefull as possible not to get any traffic offences, at least until im off my p's, I am from Emerald in Central QLD, I have been here most of my life, I just didn't know the regulations here and didn't know where to start, so i thought i'd ask here, thanks for clearing that up for me people..... At least i know I'm allowed to have the car i want....

I'll cya all around the forum from time to time :ghost:

Cheers

Blair

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
