Illegal as far as I know....they made special mention on these wings on current affair hoon special a while ago...saying that it may chop someones head off in the event of an accident :)

BTW, I spotted you today I think as I was heading to moss st in the afternoon...drove right past you..couldn't miss those black work meisters!

Oh man yeah i saw that section on the news abt hoons and the police cracking down on them...defects galore manz....sheesh actually i don't intend to use my gt wing on the streets, i just want to put it on at home and drive with it to the track and then from the track back home that's all...its kindda impossible fer me to transport it there n fit it on there itself... :mellow:

Yeah i was around the slacks creek area this afternoon, actually i was getting a bit lost...so didnt really notice ya driving past me... :mellow: i was trying to find the 101 workshop to ask if they could fabricate my battery bracket fer me...kindda in a rush to get my dry cell battery in fer track day next week...

The rules state there are no sharp parts to be protruding from the vehicle and popo may view canards and or wing as a sharp item. I am unsure if its something you may be able to get an engineers cert for however the chances of being done while driving to the track are quite slim. Has happened but you'd have to get a real pig of a cop to give you a ticket if you explained to him that your on your way to the track. Just think about how many ricers you see driving around every day though with big aluminium gt wings hanging out the sides of there lancers though.

lifted from the qld transport website:

Side skirts, front and rear spoilers may be fitted provided road clearance and air flow for brake cooling is not adversely affected. They must not be fitted so that it is likely to increase the risk of bodily injury to any person. All material is to be of a suitable thickness and be free from sharp edges or corners.

Rear spoilers must be within the body shape/outline of the mounting surface (for example boot outline). Minimum thickness of end plates is 4mm and they must be free of sharp edges or corners.

for a list of modification rules, including wheel size, steering wheels size, bonnet scoops etc go to http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinf...ion_Jan05v2.pdf

well think about it, if you hit somebody they smashed your windscreen rolled over your car and off the back the first thing i would be thinking is sh*t i hope the wing doesnt hurt them

thats not the issue

The issue is if you have a monster length wing that sticks out further than the width of your car, there is a genuine risk that you can cause some serious damage to someone if you come past them a little too close at speed.

There are some wings out there that are that big, and its not too much of a stretch to imagine them causing damage.

some wings are ok, but they generally use the same ruling as a bullbar, no sharp edges pretruding from the vehicle. same with intercoller edges, if u have a cut out front bar and leave the intercooler egde uncovered by the front bar, see ya! i got fined for this in a mates 200.

Well looking from the rear, the width flushes with the fenders, or slightly smaller perhaps..end plates are rounded with no sharp edges....but its definitely wider than the width of the rear boot...

I guess carnards on the front bar are definitely a no-go...

i think the last thing going through anyones mind when getting run over is holy shit he's got a performance spoiler i'm going to die...and i am under the impression that nearly all wings would break or break off after being hit odd 70kg ( example) of dead weight...

9kpm: well i'm happy enough to travel daily without a wing at all..just wanna be able to get to the track in peace with the GT wing on...well i managed to drive to QR this morning with my GT wing on and got there and back safely....there was a traffic bike cop filling up at milton BP with me this morning..i was thinking oh shit...but he didnt even walk over..he saw me but just went to his bike after paying n headed off...phewwww...lol

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
