yeah thats a pity about the compliancing, hope all goes well

If you ever go down the importing route again and with the exchange rates i wouldnt recommend it any time soon but Phil's mechanical service in perth is the best. He has never had a car come back from the pits that didnt pass

yeah i would make sure i got it done by someone here in perth if i was to do it again. Though i have to say after all this i dont think i will be doing it again.

Its just far to much stress, waiting and i have already had a day and a half of work which is not really too good, and I am still going to need more time off to go to the pits again.

I just realised i dont need the standard tyres to put it over the pits i need to have 245/45/R17s because thats what i have on my tyre placard. at the moment i have 255/40R/17's on the back and 235/45/R17s on the front.

I called the DPI today and talked to one of the technical expert guys to see what i would be able to get away with and he said i can not have the 235's because you are not allowed to go lower than what you have on your placard.

I am hoaping that i can get away with the 255's and just change the front but im not sure? i could not remember off the top of my head what i had on the car so the guy could not give me an answer but i think i will call again in the morning and see what they say now i know what i have got on the car at the moment.

Does any one have a set of R34 wheels with 245s on them that they would be willing to lend me to get my car over the pits?

have 235 on the front at the moment and 255 on the back.

I think if i get pair of 235s for the back i would get away with it because the front abd back will be even and they will be 10mm under which i think im alowed but i really dont want to get there and have them send me packing again over 10 bloody mills.

thanks.

Got spare 34 wheels here too bud. 99% sure the rears are 245, havnt checked in a while. Let me know asap but coz I fly out to Tokyo this Saturday, but I've got Friday off work and u can just give me my stock airbox and wheels when I get back November 2nd-ish. I dont have ur number anymore coz Monga ate my fone on the weekend. Got the same number but so gimme a txt and I'll reply if I'm not too busy playing Snake 2 on this temp piece of crap.

It sure did :P

would not have been able to get it done if it were not for brandons help. And my girlfriend who had to do a lot of the running around for me while i have been at work.

now it is just a matter of trying to get the car all cleaned up. and getting the big yellow egg stain of the back :D

No worries man cheers for the vodka. :ermm:

Saw this thing tonight. Looks really mean for a white 34, and WedsSport wheels look nice on it too. Sweet ride. Woulda def been worth the wait. ;)

Thanks m8

yeah im really pleased with it. a few things i want to change and sort out with it but all in all i think it worked out to be well worth it.

have a good trip m8 and we will have to catch up at some point wen you get back.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
