Was driving through the city last night (La Trobe) and got pulled over for a *random* (my arse - the cop came up the tram lines to over take all the cars behind me especially to pull me over) license and breath test.

He got bored while he waited and got defected for bald tires :cheers: He didnt pop my bonnet thankfully, but looked inside, and said that my boost guage was ok (mounted on steering column) and my razo knob was ok cos I had the shift pattern sticker next to it.

Anyway, theres nothing about paying a fine - but do i need to pay to get it cleared at VicRoads?

hehe dave... thats nothing to worry about. as stated u just need to get the tyres replaced and while ur there tell the guy u had a defect for it... probably give u a slip of some sort for u to take to VicRoads... or they will just come outside and take a look when ur at vic roads... no need for a full RWC.

Yellow defect - need to present my car to vicroads and have all 4 tires cleared. Been on the tread markers for about 500km now and been planning on replacing them any way. Rego is due on the same day as the defect thing, so do that at the same time.

So if anyone has 215/16 tires for a good price :D - i may just change wheels if i dont find tires.

haha it had to happen sooner or later.

U dont even need to take the car to vic roads, just take a receipt showing the purchase of the new tyres and vicroads will clear it for you. If they ask to see the car tell them you were told not to drive the car until the sticker was cleared. Vicroads are so busy especially if u go in abount 12.30pm they dont have any spare time so they will just pass you.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
