i agree with why they are doing it..... iv seen some stupid sh*t involving lowlux's at 80kmh doing "dumpies" producing a heap of sparks out the arse....

however it wont happen, and if it does, nothing like how they r saying now.....as sydkid said.... there are so many variables its not funny.

5cm Geeze thats crazy lets hope this doesnt get enforced you could get done for picking up a couple of mates, lucky i got fairly stiff coilovers i suppose at least they don't sag so much, but seriously this is rediculous just another stupid law.

Don't get me wrong i agree 100% with stopping those ediots that cut there springs on their fully sick VL but this is a bit over the top.

For those that wish to get coil overs but can't till after the deadline - just get an engineers report created for them (even though you dont actually have them) before the legislation is effective. I am sure someone who knows someone can help you out :P

And then again all of this is a bunch of hot air - we are not supposed to have sports air filters on our cars but I can assure you that almost every skyline has one. As long as your car is not rediculously low and blows sparks over every bump and you dont drive like hoon I am sure you won't have a problem.

these people really need to get a life... like really.. how many serious or even non serious accidents are there because of vehicle height?? most accidents are caused by speed and having 5 mates in the car.

Just to clear it up, height adjustable coil overs aren't legal, never have been. Unless the car comes with them standard from the manufacturer. So producing a dated receipt for a set of height adjustable coil overs on an R32/33/34 won't help you one little bit.

glad I dont own a skyline now :/

Don't get too smug, I went on a MX-5 cruise once, a cop pulled 2 of the MX-5s over and issued defects but let me go on my way :domokun:

Granted, they where driving like flamin' mongrels and I was just cruising lol

i recon if you are over 100mm off the ground you should be right without an engineers certificate. If your car has been lifted or lowered by more than 50mm I think you need an engineers certificate and give it to the RTA to be legal. Having a receipt for coilovers from pedders will mean jack shit. I dont think its possible for sports cars and family cars to be more than 50mm lower in ride height and still be over 100mm clear off the ground. And radical modification you do to your ride you should really get an engineers cert as if you crash you could void your insurance and the typical engineers cert only cost $500.

On engineers i hear they are clamping down on them very soon as up here in Newcastle a pejero just recently got caught by the RTA with an engineers cert allowing 44'' tires.

so just to clear this up, as i dont get when the car has to be engineered, i def wont have to money to lower my line before aug 1st, so after that, wen i go to pedders or somewhere and have them lower it, will they engineer it or will i have to drive around to a engineers place after it. wat happens if i get pulled over between then and there, " hey im just goin to the place now" " yea right heres ya fine, have a good one"

I thought this law was for lift kits?

Anyway to the point I dont know why everyone cares. You all have intake systems im sure, most deff run some form of boost controller or you even run a boost gauge into cabin. All defects and this is just another.

A defect is a defect and its still a f**kload of paper work.

hmm I skimmed through the link...

it's all well and good we need to fill these forms out but they don't specify the costs that will be involved for an 'adjustment of records'. knowing the RTA it's going to be a rort

this is all BS my springs I ordered aren't going to drop my car more than 1 inch and still be height legal, so Im not concerned about it being legal, what is pissing me off is the extra stuffing around & costs I will have to cop now

it says though any AUVIS station should be able to do the inspection, which means theoretically if a motor dealer's service dept was an auvis i could just take it there?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
