Hey guys is having wide rims like 10.5inch on 34gtr unroadworthy? If it come out the guards would a bit of camber sort it out and make it legal or is their more to it?

And also regarding streching tyres is that unroadworthy as well?

Ps love all u sau'ers

Stretched tires are not legal wouldn't really recommend it on a gtr myself..

As for wheels you would find they probably aren't legal however if they are inside the guards at the top you'd likely get away with it, again wouldn't really run mich Camber on a gtr if it was me

Why no camber an no strech on gtr? Affects altessa?

For safety reasons, tyres are designed to fit on a particular width range of rims. If you have to stretch the tyre to fit on the rim, the safety of the tyre / rim combination is compromised.

Check the VicRoads website for the rules, but I think the rule limits rim increases to 1" in width and 2" in diameter.

tyre stretching can be done within reason and not effect anything at all, depends what you have in a mind a 10.5 will need a hefty tyre i wouldn't go less than a 255 on a gtr personally but you'd get smaller on no problems.

and yes camber/strech will effect your handling

^^^^ what he said. They check to see that the wheel is in the guard. No poke. And they check the width of the track of the tyre. Basically if you're rubbing wheels too fat then you would have increased the tyre foot print of you're car which isn't kosher with gayroads!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
