Any One With A Bit Of Info?

[rice_me_up]

hi there everyone.

im interested on buying a gts-t (up to about $15000) and was wondering if those of you who know all would be able to help me.

i wanted to know if on the gts-t's there were any mechanical things that usual fail on the various models that i should look out for or anyother helpful info that you could give me would be greatly appreciated on the gts-t's.

Also. im a victorian p plater and was wondering (and still wondering) what the power to weight ratios are on the stock standard gts-ts. i know that the limit for my kind is 125kw (at the flywheel) per tonne, but dont know the specs of the various models.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

James.

not an R33...

i think the earlier 32 models are ok.

on your p's .. don't bother buying one.. simple.

is it really worth the pain of having to sell it when you get caught?

thats a bit of an exaggeration there mate. you dont have to sell it, you pay the $100~ fine and be on your way, and the rule itself is hardly enforced .

The law is going to be enforced really soon by 1st half of next year due to people who "..don't have to sell it, pay the $100 fine and be on your way.."

R32s are fine (i think), the R32 GTS-4 is definitley ok, R33s are not.

thanks ladies and/ gents. im still in need of finding the weight of the r32 gts-t cos i found some specs but not all. is it likely that they would be under 1.28 tonne? because that would be the absolute min weight they could be before they are a high powered vehicle.

(apparantly they dish out 160 kw at the flywheel)

cheers.

r32 gtst = 1320kg

i see your point. where i come from rice doesnt necasarily mean "powerless" just a certain style. but your point is a good one...

[dezz]

lol yeah i feel ya on that man...not everyone gets the actual definition of rice. most people just think it means asian cars, non falcon/commodores

but go out and destroy some rice boxes.....just dont rice up your skyline with shopping lists and fake front mounts and fake slotted rotors etc....and yes, all that stuff is available for sale
