how much power does a subaru forester make ? i think that itself might be over the limit also. And if they do end up banning turbo cars altogether, well then your still driving illegally.

How long do you have till you get off your p's ???

You have been driving the car around legally for the amount of time you have owned it. Well assuming you have an r33.

Dont drive stupidly or in dodgy areas late at night (chapel street) etc ... and you should be pretty fine.

even if they do bring in the no turbo law, i doubt they will be able to make it apply to those who already have their P's or those that already own a turbo car. just like it is in NSW, those people are exempt.

you have that pink 33 yeah? you're already breaking the law by driving it, so whats the difference

No its not pink lol my phone makes it look pink but it does have a pearl anyway with that out of the way, its not the power to weight issue i just cant b f*kd having to worry about shit now, i dont give f*k bout the law but oh wells.

But i do think it is time to sell my car now anyway :)

Dezz, the law already applies to you because most Skylines are already illegal to dive with P's. Once the new laws are passed, the cops will be acting on them and enforcing the old ones.

The police have been very lax in enforcing the power to weight laws, but wait and see what happens once a bit of media attention, on the laws, occurs.

Dezz: Driving a R33 gts-t has been illegal (on P's) for at least 10 years, as these power to weight laws where around well b4 i got my P's, 10years ago.

Other Skylines are also illegal, to dive with P's, but as stated b4, in the last 6yrs cops have not really enforced this law. 10yrs ago you would have been "taken to the cleaners" for driving V8's, let alone our hi-powered turbo engines, which in most cases are housed in a lighter body.

yeah a forester would be a good choice if you want good power.

its a shame they're having the restrictions now.

be a good pimpin' wagon and good as a practical run around.

I'm not too sure which cars are restricted but I know there are some NA cars worth having, DC2 integra, Corolla Sportivo or even a fully worked AE86.

so whats the law exactly say.? is it just a fine? or do they take your car.? a cop can give you a fine for n e thing. i got one once for crossing the whit line in the middle of the road. "Failing to keep left". i swear i didn't cross the line. what can you do.?

Forester would be a good choice as the are ausi and heeps of parts 4 them or get a no turbo 1 now then get a front cut sti from jap and change it

sudys better than v8s holden fords i think

james

think the fine for power/weight is like $100 or something

if your just gonna get a fine. then i wouldn't even bother getting a new car. i tell you i would rather a power to weight fine. than cop a roadworth or an epa. cops usually dont go the double fine, if your nice. obviously if your an ass you gonna get every fine they can think of.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
