Hey...

Try this website.. it has the specs for the models you were querying, you can compare to see if there are any differences.. although you may have to look under 1997 and not 1998 since it only lists R34s in 98.

Hope it helps

Seems that they put all R33's under the HR33 banner.

My R34 GTR is listed as a HR34 GTR VSPEC... go figure.

If you got your Ps before the laws came in (July 11th), your free to drive whatever you damn well please.

dude i fink hr33 is the gtr's whilst the ecr33 is the gts-t and gts's. hope that helps u. Just check out some jap websites. They usually refer to the skylines by somefing like that.

[rukus]

ECR33 = R33 GTS-T

HCR32 = R32 GTS-T

BCNR33 = R33 GTR

BNR32 = R32 GTR

usually over here they call all skylines by HR not sure why. HR33 will include all turbo r33s

You'll be walking a fine line if you try this.

If you get caught (and you will be, with P-Plates on a SKyline you will definitely get license checked) be prepared to have a day in court to fight it.

I recommend you stick to the rules. It's not worth the hassle.

Get a stagea, they're not on the list

man dat sux. wats da penalty for driving without p's and has neone been fined hu can help out? cause i really wanna get one lol for obvious reasons.

[mass_iv]

ok here is the deal, if u got ur p's before the cut off in july, i dont remember the exact date, u are free to drive any turbo powered or high performance v8/v6..... so it doesnt matter wat car u go for coz u got ur P's before the rules came into play.

I think you'll find that it is counted as being under the list..

The following is taken from this page.. Just because a exact model number of the vehicle isn't on it.. it doesn't matter..

I've bolded some parts of it..

Vehicle and passenger conditions for P1 and P2 licence holders

On 11 July 2005 the NSW Government introduced two changes to the provisional licence scheme. Both changes are new initiatives to help reduce the young driver road toll. Vehicle and passenger conditions are described below.

Prohibited vehicles

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain vehicles while on their provisional licence. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.

Prohibited vehicles are those with:

* Eight or more cylinders.

* A turbocharged engine.

* A supercharged engine.

* Engine performance modifications.

* Certain high performance six cylinder engine vehicles.

A list of prohibited vehicles is available to view and download from the box at the bottom of this page. The list will be updated as required.

Please note: the list is a guide only and subject to change at any time without notice. If your vehicle is not on the list but would otherwise be considered to be a ‘prohibited vehicle’, you must not drive it, unless exempt.

Guidelines for light vehicle modifications, including engine modifications, are also available to view and download at the bottom of this page (refer to Vehicle standards information sheet VSI 06).

The prohibited vehicle condition does not apply to:

* Existing provisional (P1 and P2) licence holders prior to 11 July 2005, unless they are disqualified for a serious driving offence committed on or after 11 July 2005.

* Learner licence holders.

* Vehicles with diesel powered engines.

That should probably answer any questions..
