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I got that info off the state site, its quite possible its outdated, but it seems odd it would still be up if it is.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

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....

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
