Sorry mate a R33 GTS-T is considered a no go for P-Platers, but as you can see there are plenty on the road.

When released from the factory, I think they are around 187kw at the engine.

Cheers.

If you work out the power to weight ratio of a gtst 33 its:

187/1.4 = 133.6kW per tonne.

Victoria regulation states P plater can only drive cars that has a power to weight ratio 125kW per tonne.

However, that doesnt stop me :)

Doesn't stop most people..

would you be interested in non turbo 34?

Non-Turbo 34 would be absolutely awsome...but it's a little above my price range from what i've been lookin at....what are you asking for price wise?

Can't drive a 1990 R32 gts-t in manual as dry weight is 1260kg's (works out to be .4kw's over).

That's the info I got from Vicroads anywayz.

dont get a non turbo. either risk it or wait.

the reason i went non-turbo, is because my insurance is a fair step cheaper, also i can drop in a turbo engine at a later date(once i'm off my P's)...nothing like a skyline sleeper to kick people in the pants with!

    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
