Legality of aftermarket wings on skylines


Recommended Posts

hahahahahaha sweet rob!

i am 99% sure stealth wings are not legal as they remove the 3rd high mount brake light. As long as there exists a 3rd brake light and the wing doesn't protrude above or outside the width of the bodywork, then it should be ok.

as above..i think the main concern about police is the 3rd high mount brake light..which i rekon is a good reason sometimes..but oh well some people are abit blind and it does help in some situations...but getting a defect or a file is just shit. It should be just a warning..

16. PROTRUSIONS

A modification to a vehicle must not result in:

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;

so this means truck bull bars are illegal??

Only if they kill people... :)

Thing is I think there may be laws on it, but they don't often seem to be enforced. If its an obvious danger or nice and sharp, then they can definitely defect you for it. Stupid T-wings I think are the main culprut for that - I have heard of ppl getting done for them (anyway, they're gay, so mb that is all fair :) )

No, because most truck bull bars are not 'modifications', they come out of the factory with them. :)

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
