Cheers

Your best bet would probably be to swap over to an OEM suspension if you know someone with a 33T and would be okay with you borrowing theirs for a day.

Failing that, either buy a second hand OEM or some aftermarket coilovers that would pass ADR requirements.

Also, a Coke can is 130mm, not 100mm which is the ADR minimum for a fixed object (WA).

Because your in new south wales i have the examiners handbook right beside me as i done the course not long age and there is nothing in the book to say they can fail you on ride height. if you dont use the place for working on your car only geting the rego done go back to them and say" SHOW WHERE IN THE RULES FOR AIS WHERE IT SAY ABOUT RIDE HEIGHT" and if they cant then they cant fail it for rego. hope this helps you.

another thing is that they cant fail you but the cops can still defect you if it is to low but you can get a pink slip. Did they nock it back for anything else or just the ride height. If they did let me know wat else and ill check the book on whether it is a fail or not.

ok, at the lowest point of the side skirts is about 140mm, front and rear bars are higher.

the reason it failed is because he couldn't get jack under it so he couldnt lift it to check front susp.

also is there anywhere under the front you can place a jack, i'll take it back and tell him to jack it up from the front if i can.

cheers

100mm is the lowest point it can be so you are nowhere near that.

I dont know what sort of place you have gone to for a pink slip. When I go it takes 5 minutes. A quick check of the lights and a 1 minute drive to check the brakes and thats about it.

My suggestion, dont let the place you went to touch your car again!

Whereabouts in Newcastle are you?

i'm in the Terrace, i used to take my falcon here as well, never knocked it back once and it was pretty low but you could jack it up at the front. Basicly he said if he can jack it up he would pass it as long as the susp in all good. is there a place at the front under the plastic shroud that it can be jacked up?if i can't jack it up i'll just take it else where.

Cheers guys

Don't they have a pit??????

This is done to check the wheel. They jack up the both sides on the front and grab the wheel and shake it. Whilst the car is jacked they could check the suspension but i would think that wasnt there main intention

To OP that is outrageous if the lowest pint on your car is 140mm high and they failed you for that. Unfortunately if they want to fail you they can regardless of the rules. Just try again make sure everything else is legal too.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
