Welshpool & O'Connor u can just rock up and have an inspection, but for East Perth, Warwick, Midland and Kelmscott you need to book.

The cops only have to find one thing wrong with your car to defect it, but then again the police do abuse their powers so your car doesnt really have to have anything wrong with it....

this ruling went out about 3 years ago

ruling is now 1.25

ie:: r32 gtr stock runs 16 x 8 equates to 16x1.25 = 20 //// 8x1.25 = 10

therefore a r32 gtr can legally now run 20x10 rims

this was explained to me by Reno the head guy at welshpool pits when i got my gtr registered with 17x9's on it

so a gtst stock is 16 by 7 so we can go to 20 by 8.75 max legally. is this right?

stock gtst rims are 6.5 i think.

Im pretty sure the constitution leaves road rules to the states? Meaning that a national code of practise isnt going to be valid unless the states have forfeited their constitutional rights to govern this?

I got that info off the state site, its quite possible its outdated, but it seems odd it would still be up if it is.

Maximum passenger car tyre and rim width

Tyres fitted to passenger cars or passenger car derivatives must not be more than 30% wider than vehicle manufacturer's widest optional tyre.

The rim width must not exceed the recommendations for the tyre fitted.

For example, if the original widest optional tyre is 185mm, the maximum tyre width is 1.3 times 185mm = 240.5mm, ie a 235mm wide tyre. The maximum rim width for a 235mm tyre is 9 inches if the aspect ratio is 60 or below.

Page 17 has a table to help. check it out.

found it my guess is that it would be the 45 in 235*45*17

Aspect Ratio:

When buying a rim that is larger than stock, you must change the aspect ratio of the tire, too. This will keep your speedometer reading correctly. When you “upsize” your wheel, the aspect ratio will be smaller than stock. This gives your wheels and tires a wider contact patch, improving cornering ability.

Using a smaller than recommended Aspect Ratio means you have less rubber to absorb impact that can damage your rim. It also reduces the amount of contact your tires have with the road.

Using a larger than recommended Aspect Ratio increases the ride height, and will make your speedometer read slower than actual speed. It can also cause rubbing in the wheel wells. It affects steering stability, and will make your car feel floaty when cornering.

When is your car booked in at Joes Mr. Auto? I'll go to his shop and swap em over for the day :P

I'm calling him in a little while (just woke up... I'm a bit of a nightowl because I work late nights) to sort it out & I'll let you know.

I'm perfectly happy for you to grab em (I'll be dropping it as early as possible in the morning) as long as they're properly back on the car when I pick it back up :P

Don't want any of this lol

Edit: PMing you details

What is it with cops giving stickers now and saying tow the car... that is as good as a red sticker which have not been around for years and years...

I would like to know the law that says they can do this, as they are suggesting that you must now tow the car to the mechanics to get fixed and then to the pits before it is drivable...

Technically they could only make you tow it if the wear on the tyres was that bad that it would be dangerous to continue driving. How bad the camber wear is depends on that, but in this weather maybe it could have been justified....

However to do that, really the yellow sticker should be timed & dated to when they write it up, leaving no other option but to tow it, otherwise they can let you drive off again, pull you over after 20m & fine you for driving with an expired yellow sticker ~$600....

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
