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?

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
