Thought i'd start a new thread on this one -

I have a chance to get a set of Veilside rims but they are massive;

5 x 114.3

18 x 10

+24 offset.

Does anyone have an idea if i've got any chance of fitting them under an R33 GTS-T? I am willing to roll the guards, they are too good to let go.

Here it is below

The offset could be wrong for your car. I believe that was for an R32 GT-R, coz the offset seems right to me. GT-Rs have flared guards, allowing for smaller offset.

It would sticks out in your car, and possibly, you'd have problem with them touching your guards. And you can't have it lowered too much, too.

Rolling diameter can't be 15mm larger than the largest standard wheel size and combo fitted to that car. Width of the wheels can't be more than 25mm (1") than the widest standard rim for that car (gts-t's are 7" standard). Shit, I'm sounding like a cop here, but i'm just spitting out what is on there. How they're going to know with an import is anybody's guess. Don't think its enforced much, except if they're getting really picky.

Check all the ADR rules on the Vicroads site.

some lucky ppl got GTR placcards with their GTSTs from the compliance shops cause they didnt have them for GTSTs and no one knows anyway... sucks for me cause i got the GTST plate :D

my current oz racing rims r 9 inch on the back, and the car was complied with that. Cops aint gonna measure rim width unless they r real real real assholes!

and yes gordo u do sound like a cop, u applying for a new job and not telling the rest of us??

yes, i am a cop and i am here to bust your black ass :P looks like somebody has beaten you to it though..hehe

pft.. anybody can become a cop though.. my mate is now "one of them" and well :bahaha: he's nothing special. Just do the test, do all the training things, and bang, you're on the streets as Junior Constable... with your 9 weeks off a year or whatever ridiculous, 3 weeks sick leave and whatever else. Its a pretty cushy job if you don't have to deal with any of the bad stuff like drugos and things. Only problem is advancement - it takes forever to get anywhere than just being a lowest of the low in the cop world..

Horus got done recently for wheels as you can see from his thread, but they were getting everything they possibly could on him. From that its obvious they *do* know about it and if they want to they can bust you for it.

Personally I don't think having massive rims is that good an idea, because you end up scraping your guards and things and it does effect driveability to a negative extent if too large (the basic reason for the ADR restrictions).. Too large/wide looks a bit stupid to me, but its all personal taste.

I already knew any bum off the street could become a cop, thats y they piss me off when they act like they r something special!

U sure u aint playing the Paul Walker character from F & F and working deep undercover for Bracks? :P

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
