adzmax, i dont think the height of the gt-wing is an issue,maybe how wide, is. Best is check out with the guys at the pits,and maybe even get a permit for it(which is the best way)

cops wont care wether it is carbon fibre,aluminium or even fibreglass, so best to get a permit

Adzmax,

Don't quote me 100% but last I heard all cars manufactured after a certain date (i think 1989) have to have a brake light above the bootlid (ie included in the wing or in the rear glass)

I'm not sure how this rule is applied to imports though.....

As far as I know the rule is an ADR so yes it would apply to all states......the upper edge of the boot is fine......I think the rule says the car has to have a 'high level' brake light so I guess any posi above the std brake lights....

I'm with Muz on that one, all 34's are complied / rego'd without any modification or addition of a brake light any higher than stock offering.

Adz: I have test driven a 34 GTT that had a GT wing on the back which was already complied but I am not 100% certain whether that means it is deemed ok though.

Ah ok, as most of you know the lights in the top of the bootlid, not the wing so i really dont know. Who could I check it with? I remember one of my old friends had a silvia and took the wing off but had to replace it because of the light so maybe 34's are ok?

o Any component, feature object or fitting on the vehicle whose design, construction and/or condition and the manner in which it is affixed, is likely to create the risk of bodily injury to any person;

o Any bumper bar which does not have its ends turned towards the body of the vehicle to a sufficient extent to avoid any risk of hooking or grazing any person;

I far as I know... if it come into the country and is complied with modifications... then it is fine for the road, any modification made within Australia need permits / engineer certificate!

I don't know about wings though :D

As R31 Skyline Chick has posted... aslong as you're not going to slit some unsuspencting pedestrians throat, it should be fine :)

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
