I know this is a big ask but i have an urgent query.

Last thursday night i was pulled over in my relatively stock gtr. was defected for parkers being blue, (they're led white) and my front pipes being too low. i thought they were stock but under closer inspection, i found that they are indeed aftermarket. they are only about 10mm too low. the bloody cop only gave me 6 days to clear a major defect. (ahhhhhhhhh bastard, i thought that they had to have 3 things before it was a major.) the simplest method of rectifying this problem i could think of was if someone was kind enuf and had them to spare for a couple of days while i get the defect cleared :D change my stock 16in gtr rims for a set of 17in or preferably 18in, (to be sure) rims with a larger rolling diameter to bring the height of the car up. like i said. it's a big ask but i have run out of options. i am most willing to leave my gtr rims as calateral. preferably eastern suburbs. can anyone help me please????? :)

was the height of the pipes measured on a definate flat peice of ground or curved road?

gay but thats how it works.

just go get a RWC again or if ur last ones still current take that to vic roads to clear it lol

you'd be welcome to swap my 18" rims off my gts-t to get it cleared as im on my L's and the car just sits in the driveway anyways... but i dont think the offset would be right to fit a gtr :D

oh yeah, ruffels your car is clean as.  even tho you're still just on ya L's, you've done a great job. definate respect to ya.

haha thanks man

its no gtr though :(

thanks for the spin in your car.. that was amazing.. never felt acceleration and traction at the same time quite like that

quite breathtaking i must say

looking forward to seeing you again at the show and shine.. or quite possibly in the next couple of days if you cant get any more wheels sorted out and have to use the spacers

I wouldnt put the spacers on if you are going to get a defect cleared - arent they defectable?

Also, going from 17s to 18s probably wont increase ur ride height. Maybe borrow some stock dump pipes for the test?

plan change.. im free almost all friday, so let me know what you wanna do.. by the way, I have only 2 spaces, so it might not actually be that helpful... but how old is the roadworthy you got for getting your car regoed in the first place? as inark mentioned, you can probably just use the same certificate and have your car fixed up without seeing another roadworthy place at all?

rylan... my wheels fit fine on the back... its just we need the extra 3mm clearance form the brakes on the front...

if your jsut going to get a height defect cleared... doubt they are gonna look at the wheels and notice the spacers on the front

if they ask how you overcame the height problem... just tell them you got a new dump.. they arent gonna know what wheels you had on when the cops pulled you over.. so i wouldnt draw un nessasary attension to the wheels or it may lead to them noticing the spacers

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
