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; or  

less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.  

1 inch wider only.

see thats the funny thing, all the states are interpreting the ADRs in different ways. The 1 intake modification for example in Vic is rubbish! What does that protect against? Can't you still engineer it?

Someone should really challenge those "interpretations" :(

If your car dosen't look that 'flashy' you won't be pulled over as much. Some things that really catches a cops eye are big shiney loud mufflers, lots of performance stickers, bright neons and over the top body kits (just keep it simple). Most cops don't know much about cars so if it not noticeable to them you will be safer. Things like turbos and ,pods,blow off valves should be kept out of sight as much as possible, nothing like polished turbos and blow of valves or intercoolers. Oh and gauges have as less as you can preferably not on the dashboard or sides.

Things like thins can really keep you out of the inspection bay.

15mm according to that.

 

Non standard turbo must be approved too.

No sorry, you're wrong.

A 25mm increase in width is allowed, and up to 15mm overall increase in wheel and tyre diameter is ok. That means you can legally have 22" rims on your car, as long as you have really low profile tyres, so that the overall diameter is still similar.

As previously stated, laws vary from state to state.

Did anyone find out about carbon fibre bonnets or bonnets pins? Also, I was told some non factory body kits eg front bars can be defectable as they're not factory and ' could ' be weaker and if in a crash or hitting a person could bugger up more ect...

Most aftermarket fiberglass front bars are weak as piss and would break into small pieces if in an accident. I wonder how these bars affect the front crumple zone.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
