Got picked up last night for blue lights on my number plate but thats not the problem.

I got told i can't have 19" rims or higher. I said "what?" The cop says no car is now aloud to have anything larger then 18's since 4 weeks ago.

And he told me i can have neons on under my car at all times when driving as long as you can't see the GLOBE. Crazy!

Any one know more?

i call bullshit

my 300c srt 8 comes with stock 20 inch rims...

like to this the asshole cop u had give me a sticker for that... id tell him where to shove it.

Having said that, the legality of rims is based on what it came with from factory... u can only go up so many inches and so much more wider then stock...

so 19's can be illegal on some cars, while not on others. =)

yeah, if your number plate don't have those blue neons on them, your life would have been easier cos you won't be pulled over in the first place...

now the copper decided to make your life more miserable, tough luck for you....

the only colours allowed by ADR and local state laws are amber, or white (for number plate, and reverse). brake light should be red, and turn indicator amber/orange... headlights must be amber or white...

imagine the confusion if someone have their brake light green... wouldnt the car behind the slowing down car add more gas and ended up rear ending the car with green brake lights?

does the tyre placard fitted with compliance listed 19"

I checked mine and the tyre placard fitted includes 19"

that's because 19" is available on V35 series 2, and basically the chassis of series 1 and series 2 are the same, so the 19" is permissible on any V35.

providing the width is not of crazy sizes... but looking at the link posted by andy, looks like you gotta stick with 19x8", keeping the width always 8"

He said anyone with higher would get a warning then have a week or something to change them. He also said it's not illegel to sell them so dealers and tyrer shops can sell them.

I guess it's only a matter of time before the word gets around and people start getting pulled over more.

He did quote the law to me.

You've been duped by a cop who "thinks" he can pull one over you. Ahh country cops, so "up with the times".

We are all governed by a national ruling NCOP14 http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/veh...ng_3Feb2006.pdf

In summary we can not increase tyre width by more than 30% over stock (OEM) or placard.

So Front can go from 225 out to max 292 (rounded to nearest avail size 285)

Rear can go from 245 out to 318 ( or 315 next avail size).

You can have any size Ø rim as long as you maintain aspect ratio and the overall diameter of the tyre is not more than 15mm larger than stock.

Also the tyres must be load rated to suit.

I suggest you print it out, highlight the parts pertinent and keep it with you and if he hassles you again, show him the error of his ways, then bend him over and shove it up his a**.

Hallelujah brudda.................

They are illegal from a taste perspective anyway. lol

Says the guy who apparently has an R33. :D

19"s may look like shyte on an "R" designated Skyline, but on a V they are proportional and actually look good.

I think he was joking about the taste thing!!

As for the Cop... what a moron and if you got fined tell him you will see him in court.

Must be a bit green if he is telling you that and you should not always believe what you are told, especially by Police.

Also, never ever agree with them at all, never admit blame, just in case.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
