the 1.3x rule applies to tyre width, not wheel size.

there are not rules as far as rim diameter goes, provided that the outside diamater isn't more than 15mm smaller or larger than the standard diameter of the wheel and tyre, and the tyres must have the same load rating (or higher)

also that link to the NSW RTA states that you can only go a rim 26mm wider than the widest rim on the tyre placard without needing to get it signed off on by a signatory. and the widest you can go is only 2" wider. so that means you could only go a 8.5" wide rim on a 33 gts-t, etc.

qld however only uses the 1.3x rule for tyres (plus load ratings) and the +15mm diamter rule. no rim width rule.

seriously who gets defected for rims these days? the last time ive ever heard of sum1 being defected for rims was probly 4-5 years ago. police are more concered bout engine mods and epa guidlines than the size of your wheels.

im from NSW... i just wanna know the maximum legal rim size for r33 gtst cuz i dont wanna get a yellow haha

Wheel cannot be more than 26mm wider than the widest on the tyre placard. Offset cannot be greater than 12mm lower than the lowest offset for any wheel on the tyre placard. Wheels cannot be narrower than the narrowest wheel on the placard. Offset cannot be higher than the highest stock offset.

Tyre diameter cannot be more than 15mm outside the diameter of the stock tyre (greater or less than). N.B. the wheel diameter is "free" as long as you can find a tyre that fits within this bound, regardless of what a cop tells you.

However, since you want to avoid a yellow, a lot of cops mistakenly believe that you can only go up 2" in diameter so for safety's sake I'd recommend that.

It's all on the RTA web site, as [200] said.

QLD Standard : The rim diameter may be varied from the standard size but the overall diameter of the tyre must not vary by more than +15mm or -26mm.

straight off pg 11

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
