Anyone done it...?

I was told I cannot...17's is the largest I can go...

I thought it was factory size +2 was max allowed hence making 18's ok....or is it Factory +1....?

I have a mate that has new 17" rims and tyres on his 33 GTS-T will these fit my 32 GTR OK for the pit inspection...?

If not anyone in WA with 32 GTR and good tyres want to swap wheels for a day :P:D

Ok, rang the DPI WA today to enquire about what they will and wont license on my R32 GTR.....as expected I got the stereotypical surly responses to my questions.

The long and short of it is...they will only license it with what it came from the factory, that being 225/50/16's.

I can put it over the pits again after its licensed to register it with the 18" R34 GTR rims, but not before......

Anywho I have sorted my dilema and have found a set of Factory R32 GTR rims that I can borrow for the day (Thanks anyway Haze :P )

Also in Perth the only 2 licensing centres that do Imports are O'connor and East Perth :)

I'd still be curious to hear of anyone that has licensed there GTR with 17's +

I reckon you could still do it as long as thats what your Tyre placard says as the inspectors really know 'F' all about various cars factory specs :)

only license with 16's that doesnt sound right.. anyone here with WA experience?

I guess ill make up a tyre placard and try my luck. i figured it was part of compliance anyways. Just say the car is standard from factory as super V spec or something :D

Ok put car over pits today.

Turns out girl on phone that told me the only two licensing centres for imports are O'connor and East Perth was full of sh*t as I took mine to Kelmscott :P

Didnt even check the rims and tyres, or Placard....

I'd say yes the laws correct they have to be licensed with what they came with from the factory, but pit inspectors are to 'uneducated' to know any different if you were to run 17's or 18's im guessin. (heck he even had to ask me what sort of car it was...and was it auto or Manual!..?)

wrong....

in WA you can legally have a rim upgrade of 2 inches over standerd, which in term means it can be licenced with the rims on the car.

my freind does compliencing for a living, has done many cars with rim upgrades, all have passed engineer aprovell and passed pits with them on.

but anyways congrats on getting it licenced!

cheers

i went over with 18's and they were fine BUT i did fail because the rear tyres were still the jap tyres with no DOT mark (i had replaced the front as they were worn)

he had no problem with the size and it was complied with the 18's on it.

This was at East Perth

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
