see your pm for full detials

Are spoilers classed as structural? and what about clearance from the top of the tyre to the body? If any one can clarify this it would be much appreciated as there is a LOT of uncertainty with measurements and clearance heights!

daniel

there are 2 measurements that are commonly used, ground clearance and centre of axel to wheel arch.

1) the car must be 100mm off the ground from any structural point, bodykits are not structural. normally the lowest point is the chassis rail.

2) there is a certain distance that needs to be met on every car from the centre of the axel to the wheel arch. on R32's (when i had to go thru compliancing) it is 350mm. this varies from car to car and is about 10-20mm lower than the std height.

when going over the pits it depends alot on the overall presentation of the car, if it is a fairly tidy looking and 'tastefully' modified car then you can normally slide through. They tend to pick on riced up cars which are rediculously low or loud...

haha.. my friends made it up when were skating at the leederville skatepark about 8 months ago. my mate skated around it a motorbike jacket and helmet looking totally homo.. we all laughed and someone called him radtech. if u r REALLY radtech.. then you;re radtech invincible.. haha.. sounds pretty silly.. but it has too many memories.

then last week.. my little brothers friends have this tv show on channel 31, mondays at 7.30pm called EXTREME WA... and they said radtech about 8 times.. we;re all trying to make radtech a new 'cool' word.. haha.. we do some pretty crazy things.. hehe..

Well hopefully they look upon my car favourably :P

I really can't be bothered with those sorta hassles.

It's only really got an exhaust and it's not loud at all so I should be ok. Doesn't even have a pod filter :D

Tomorrow morning will tell hehe :P

Cheers for the kind words Justino :D

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
