Who was telling you that you need the exact same size as the placard engineer/cop/rwc guy, i got through my defect with 18's and 235 tyres on a car that came with 16's.

the engineer did mate. the defect was listed

bonnet - engineers report required, etc apply with ADR's

rims/tyres - to comply with tyre packard.

trust me i tried everthing to clear it without changing my 19's with 235 front 265 rear. but yeh didnt work.. see i tried to put on a stock bonnet and clear it but vicroads basically kept telling me to go away just cause it says engineers report required.. even if i put a stock bonnet back on.. sigh. was a headache. and the engineer told me if hes engineering just for a stock bonnet he might aswell just write one for the whole car since my ride height was a low aswell (have adjustable coilovers) i changed them to a standard height, put ians stockies on and still have stock bonnet on and got whole thing engineered.. 700 bucks later zz..

what was annoying was when i first got the defect and the cop gave me a lecture on why i shouldnt change a cars factory build because its stuffs it all up to what its meant to be built to. even got told putting bigger tyres on is unacceptable because it doesnt comply with my tyre packard.... 225/45 17's.

anyway all done and cleared. time to move on and keep car standard for a bit .... lol

What sort of bonnet did you have and did you try to get it engineered or just go the easy route with the standard bonnet?

"The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be;

- More than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series"

* Convert the metric measure to inches by dividing by 25.4. (225 ÷ 25.4 = 8.86 inches)

* Multiply the section height in inches by the aspect ratio (in this case, 45) to determine the section height. (8.86 x 45% = 3.987 inches)

* Multiply the section height by 2, then add the wheel diameter as noted in the tire size. In this example, the wheel diameter is 16 inches. (3.987 x 2 + 17 = 24.974 inches – Overall Tire Diameter)

* 24.974 inches to cm is 63.43 centimeters

Lets say you have 245/35/R19

* 245 ÷ 25.4 = 9.65 inches

* 9.65 * 35% = 3.376 inches

* 3.376 x 2 + 19 = 25.752 inches - overall tyre diameter

* 25.752 inches to cm is 65.41008 centimeters

Soooooooooo the difference is 1.98cm, which is 20mm hence illegal haha

But if you have 235/35/R19

it equals; 64.71cm

Which is 1.28cm difference; 12.8mm difference and hence it is legal?

No idea if im right or not, explain that to a cop and you'll be right.. :ninja:

What tyre size you got on the 19inch?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
