Does anyone no where I could get a engineers certificate for my rims..The only thing is the width of my rims are over the legal upgrade limit allowed for my car so, I just need to find someone who will give me a certificate for them...

The only reason why i keep getting defected for my rims is because size, not the width of the rims.

I am located in Sydney, so if anyone could help me out it would be great....

I believe the rule is 2 inches larger in diameter and one inch larger in width

HOWEVER

I when I went for a pink slip at the start of the year the mechanic told me he had to clear a defect for "non standard rims" Yes thats right someone was defected because the rims were not a factory option but were within the boundaries.

here in WA you arent allowed anything over 7" wide, unless it came from the factory with wider and then you arent allowed any wider than what it came form the factory with.

also here in WA to get an engineers cert you just call the licensing dept and get a list of approved engineers and give one of them a call...

In SA, you can only go up 2" from factory, but you can go as wide as you like so long as no part of the tread of the tyre passes the outter most part of the guard (they will defect your car for being out of track if your tyres hang out of your guards).

And even with an engineers report the copps will still pull you over if you go past normal legal stndards, and be more inclinded to go right over your car for a defect.

but if they book you for anything that you have an engineers report for you can fight it and win. then they end up doing traffic duty and all the other crappy jobs for a while. i had a mate who got defected even though he had a report for it. the cop said that it didn't mean crap. so he took it to court and won. the judge said that if it has passed a engineers report (that has been done properly, not just done without looking) then there is nothing the cops can do about it. and that cop got into trouble over it.

but yes they may get out the fine tooth comb to find something to book you for.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
