Just wondering how we are supposed to know whats legal and what is classified illegal??

Is there a reference point...someone we can talk to.....laws..etc...

Like for example...I just put a new bodykit on..and wanted to buy a rear wing.....selected one...n was told it wouldnt be a good idea because it 'stuck out' past the rear pillar.....if I hadnt asked the panel beater jus out of curiosity it wud have been painted by now...and on my car...

So what do you guys thinK? How does one go about finding out this stuff??

Do the pit inspection places have a list of rules etc....or can u go talk to them casually....

Just wondering.....coz im sure most have similar doubts or thoughs....and can relate to this....

I think he meant our local authority here in WA and just cited the RTA or watever as an example in Syd, NSW. I read through that pdf....interesting stuff....

Ok....my uncle is a state librarian and he sent me documents / press releases with regards to design rules etc...basically what you can and cant do. However everything is vague and seems to be open to interpretation. So in a nutshell....if you get a nasty cop ur screwed.

It would be easy to resort to a f - - - the cops approach...but hey...I think they are just doing what they have to do....maybe not in the absolutely perfect way....but yeah..its a repuation we have to contend with....we knew bout it when we bought our cars !!

ANYWAY.....

with regards to the wing.....it says that you cant have any "sharp" edges or protrusions etc.....in other words anythin that can kill someone if you hit them (mind u they wud probably be dead after the ROLL OVER YOUR CAR AND FINALLY REACH THE REAR WING)........

so what about an R34 GTT wing??

Im assuming it would be illegal on an R33 Gtst coz its not factory...n wud be deemed "sharp"

just go for it. cops will do you for stock parts on your car, they really dont know the difference.

last time i got pulled the cop was telling me how he liked my GTR and how he used to own one etc when my car was clearly a Gtst with rb25det big single turbo

It looks TOO big IMHO.....but I wud love to "wing it" (hahahahaa....get it....im clever rnt I ?? ) :nyaanyaa:

The pics are of the wing on somebody else's car....

Oh and a cop wouldnt buy the "its a standard GTR wing" answer because my car has a full bodykit on anyway... :(

wish there was somewhere I could go and get it checked out / approved...is there??

You've never had any dealing with our police force have you? lol

hahahaa...umm..no...hence the confusion / anxiety !!

and why would you say that......or better still how could u tell...tat obvious?? :bunny:

On a serious note though...what would you do?

(P.S. Been thinking and I think you mistook the "wouldnt" for "would"......)

It's got a brake light, so they probably wouldn't worry too much about it. If that's your car behind it in one of the pics, I wouldn't worry too much about putting it on, doubt it'd attract any more attention than otherwise with the kit and front mount.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
