Stickered!

[syfon]

I got stickered

Cops reckon my exhaust is less than 100mm from the ground so *slap*!

i needa take my screamer and de-cat out, adjust my ride height and i needa ask

Can i borrow someones standard rims with decent tread for pits? Will be going over next week and i hope i don't get royally raped

Cheers

What's wrong with your rims/tyres??

[Pattygtst]

ah dont stress yourself about it. I got done for the same thing recently. I got an awesome inspector at Welshpool and he passed me with heaps of defects still on there. At the end of the day you should prepare for the worst and hope you get a nice inspector.

Have you checked that the exhaust hieght is ok. The cops gave me a flick knife to test my exhaust height. It was probably 80mm from the ground

[Ehgriez]

my cats about 40mm off the ground but the rest is fine due to super not level coilovers and lack of a jack. I just dont drive it around too much atm.

Couldnt you just be like yo but man I work at the DPI?

[NA_Goodness]

Do you have coilovers Jason? That way you can easily wind it up.

Are you coming out cruising tomorrow?

i thought i read on the ADR rules somewhere that the lowest part only has to be above the rim

i could also be blowing shit

yep

[Ehgriez]

^^WHS

100mm from the lowest point with a fully loaded car, so if your at 110mm you might still be considered a little too low by the cops.

Also something like 400-500mm from the lowest point of the headlights or something, I never pay much attention to that one.

Basically, if its lowered enough to look good its too low.

[bubba]

Pfft, my 32 is low enough to look good and past the pits fine. It's just not stupidly low

[Ehgriez]

Dont have a kit on mine so the lowest point is the chassis rails/cat.

[SKYRYAN]

lowest point doesnt include body kits

[NA_Goodness]

I'm pretty sure it does, had a few mates fail because their kits scraped.

I've also heard that even a wire hanging down counts, because if it's for a fuel pump or something, it rips going over a speed bump, the car will suddenly be inmovable causing headaches for everyone. That's what I've heard anyway.

Point is, kits are included in the too low rules.

[syfon]

Yer i work at DPI, but that doesnt mean i will get a nice inspector.

Rhys - yeah i have coilovers and will just wind 'em up and take my screamer and de-cat pipe out.....might come cruising tomorrow night not sure yet

ADR rules state the you are not allowed to have different rim width front & rear unless your car came with different rim widths from factory.

Anyways, cheers for teh replies, i'll get back to you tomoro, im sleepy now

hehe ciao

[Nic_A31]

Isnt the rule of thumb you have to be able to deflate all tyres and nothing be touching the ground + atleast 100mm clearance on anything under the car, including body kits, wires, etc ??

[Dorigecko]

Stick with the 100mm from the lowest point of the car rule nic, otherwise fools with 20" rims on their fully sick honda accord Si's that are FAR too low will be more legal than an dumped XA falcon (for instance) with standard 12-slotters.

mates escort pano's lowering block u-bolts were 120mm from the ground, and had like 14x8 custom jelly beans. coppers sent him on his merry way. cop measured a brick that he found to around 100mm and stuck it underneath...

gotta love country cops. normally don't spell it with an 'o', but 'flamin mongrelry' cops doesn't make sense.

Yeh, when it comes to ride height, 100mm is the lowest point of the car. That's for everything (kits, cats....mmm kit-kats).

My mate just took his R33 over the pits and he got failed on his rims being too big (R33 gts-t with 19x8.5s all round), and having a spoiler on the boot but not having a brake light in there (as u need a brake light at eye level so they). However, i have taken the spoiler off my car, as you know Rhys.

I might come just to the meet point tonight for the cruise....im sick as a dog atm so i'll see

[SKYRYAN]

Then why do so many people pass when their kits are lower than 100mm? Especially front bars. Speaking from experience.

PS. I've watched the inspector measure from the exhaust hanging down, not the front bar/side skirts.

[Douse]

Unlucky man, I almost got yellowed the other day cause the cops were saying my tyres were to big.....lucky for me it started to rain and they went 'f**k it'

Sorry to highjack, but.....

Are 235's on the front and 255's on the back to large for a R32 GTS-T??

I mean, it is right on the guard, and may even stick a mil over....

[Ehgriez]

Yeah Id say it is.

What are the widths of your wheels?

Your not supposed to go with anything much wider than the widest that came with that car.

So you can argue that the GTR came out with 8" wheels and try get away with say 8.5"?

Any wider and it's too wide unless you get permits/engineers.

Sad but true.

[ecentrix]

Most of the time 100mm is enough to play with isn't it?
