hey all.

i'm new to owning a car with a mod or two

quick question about wheel size and passing rego

the V35 has stock 17's. i have 19's at the moment (bought that way)

in regards to rego, do i have to do anything??? its not for a while, but ive seen a few people say "i use the stocks for rego etc"

Thanks for any help.

yup that sounds about right. =) im only using my standard 7 spokes black coated OEM rims.. im pretty happy with them on. the car is lowered 1.7 inches.. so kinda makes the wheels looks a little bigger. yeh tyres will always be bigger at rear since its rear wheel drive. specially we can choose and control our traction on the road. if youre really paranoid.. just out the OEM ones so 100% safe..

im from Sydney also, correct me if im wrong with what i said. i was not 100% sure..maybe what i shared was on the police's point of view when they pull you over and try to defect you, but 1 thing i definately know for sure is that in NSW the lowest or the safest you can drop your ride is 1.5 - 1.7 inches from original height. cheers.

The law states that the wheels cannot be more than 26mm (1") wider, and the track can only be 25mm wider as well. Any more requires an engineering cert.

No regulation on the diameter of the wheel, but the tyre wrapped around it cannot be more than 25mm wider than stock and within 15mm on either side of the stock diameter.

True the cops don't always know the rules, so feel free to print out and carry the RTA's Vehicle Standards Index 09: Guidelines for alternative wheels and tyres

Thanks all, i'm in sydney

and the car didnt come with the OEM wheels.

Should be safe for now :(

what wheels did it came with? hope not chromies lol!..

and cool which part of sydney are you from? did you buy your V35 from an importer?

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
