Got booked without specific reason- Not happy at all :(


Recommended Posts

Aftermarket wheels can be maximum 1 inch larger diameter or width than stock wheels, so the police are in the right.

Tough but its on the vicroads website for everyone to see.

Close, but not quite...

do you have a link? I did a search but couldnt find it :confused:

Well this is not so relevant to you but for us Victorians we just need to head for straight Section 8 (ironically the same name as that used for discharge for insanity from the US Army, the rule Klinger from MASH was trying to use to get out of Korea)

VicRoads - Vehicle Standards Information - Section 8

The specific item of concern regarding wheels

The width of any replacement rim must not be:  

more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series

Well the GT-R is part of the Skyline series so I would agree that this should allow for up 9½-inches... because 10-inch wheels are 25.4mm greater than the widest wheel... Don't think they wouldn't try that on you!!! :bs!:

The wheel diameter has no rule but the total tyre diameter must conform to

The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be:  

more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series

Thanks Gojira, that was my understanding. there is no rule on wheel diameter....same as the ADRs. Tyre & wheel diamter, fair enough that should be close to stock otherwise your speedo is stuffed.

My compliers were kind enought to put the GTR wheel sizes on the tyre placard so I would be covered for larger wheels :)

Speedo's are only a substitute for the revolver in russian roulette down here in vic now Duncan since the Bracks govt legislated a 3kmh blanket tolerance for speed, not the ADR 10%.

Hi SkylineGeoff - Can you suggest where I can go to pick up one of those placards ? I don't think my car has one of those anywhere, and if I do get one, I'd want it to be relevant to the car, not just going up to 15 by 6 inch wheels.

I thought they were generally stuck to the inside of the drivers side door or the glove box.

haha the windscreen washer not working... i got done on that when I first went to rego my car. THe Vicroads dude checked it n goes... unroadworthy... i was like wtf... looked in the tank, no water... asked him where I could get some water, the cvnt refused to help n wanted me to come in again... so I poured my bottle of sprite in there and asked him to try again... it squirted sprite and I passed the RWC... lol needless to say I flushed the whole thing out when i got home...

if you get the placard for a 34 [doesnt say r34 on it i dont think] it doesnt specify much difference between models it just lists:

17 x 7.5 with 225/45 tyres and

18 x 9.5 with 265/35 tyres I think

So technically I could put some big & wide fcuk off rims on mine :P

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
