nah man, getting the car to the pit somewhere next week, not sure if the 18" now will pass the pit, if they dont, i'll end up paying another $50.60 for the inspection fees.

And i am actually thinking about changing the rims. The one i have now is volks racing 18" tri spokes. 265/35 new tyres.

Would be happy to trade the existing rims with the standard ones and perhaps they could compensate me a little for that.

Sub , check the tyre placard which should be on the driver or passenger door pillar inside when you open the door.

Little white sticker thingy. Check to see if it is complied with 18's as well as 17's.

If it is and you have new or near new Aust spec tyres ( ie. DOT approved) and they are not poking out past the guards then there should be no grief.

I would suggest to go to the Welshpool licensing centre .......

Cheers

Ken

Never been to Freo but I can tell do NOT go to warwick and East Perth is fairly hard.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
