its illegal fullstop. Taken from QLD transport modifications guide: "The fitting of spacers or adaptors between wheels and hubs, additional to those provided by the vehicle manufacturer, is not permitted."

18s are still bearable IMO....once u start going to 19s and 20s then u'll sarifice ride comfort... But if you're planning to do track work in these wheels then 17s would be the go.

I would go jap brand any time of the day. Their mufflers are JASMA approved which is much like ADR in australia. Mufflers are much higher quality and most are quieter than ur xforce, supercat etc... There is a reason why people pay so much more for a jap brand. Although having said that..if you want to pay upwards of 2K for a CES full system which is tried and tested, you'll probably be happy too. each to their own budget.

take Duncans advice above and not only will you save on tyres but potential rear end damage

OK...we'll take note of tht But seriously...should be a way to disable it...its a pain in the arse function...maybe post on the alarms and car audio section and wait for chris rogers to answer.

is tht a skyline thing or an aftermerket alarm specific function? IF its the latter, you can disable tht function...I haven't heard of a Skyline auto lock thingy...

dump!

IMO, the GTT wing only looks good on a GTT...period. Seen them on silvias, R32s etc...yuk!

was a good nite! Thanks to all who turned up...including the boys in blue who dropped in briefly...asked a few questions, saw we were havin a photo session and left us alone Few pics...sorry for the crap quality but gives everyone an idea wat to expect next time! Arbess: Where were u?? Azzurra: Didn't see ur post until this morning...sorry!

how much for the 34 sedan one??? I've seen these on ebay...bout $10- $15?

cool..firefrog...please give MRR34 a call..i haven't got his no. thx! The more the merrier!

Hi all, we have been havin a couple of these meets in the last couple of months and thought it would be nice to meet other 34 owners with the same interest. Please note this is NOT a cruise. We just meet up and chat around the Market Square carpark. IF we have enough cars turn up we might go somewhere for a bit of a photoshoot. We normally have around 4-5 of us turn up. So....rock up if you have got nothing better to do! All models welcome. 10:30pm Market Square Carpark, Sunnybank. :sorcerer:

try the new Falken FK452s. I got a set few weeks ago 235 and 265 for $1100 all up in 18s. www.fk452.com

I probably wasn't as obsessed as you are in the first plc but all I gotto say is its good to have goals and dreams...you work hard for it and eventually you'll get what you want! Good luck!

u can start doing the spit every sunday too if you want

Your car is far from stock!!! http://satan.p5.org.uk/home.html

Yeah mine was the one with the Apexi cat back and panel filter pulling 147kw atw from a Dyno Logic dyno at our SAU dyno night. Apparently it was reading lower for everyone that had previously dynoed on a Dyno Dynamics...so as SK predicted...with catback...*should* read somewhere closer to 160 for stock with catback only??

Define FRESH????? Spotted BAO82 twice today, black 34GTT coupe...once on the M1 in the morning heading towards the city and 2nd time in the Myer Center...dude your tri spoke volk rear wheels are sticking out from the guards by bout at least 10mm

spotted an orange R32 GTR with white wheels heading south on the M1 in peak traffic this evening around 5:30...had a cool blonde chick driving too I was in my Silvia...

We know all skylines come standard with coilovers. But for the purpose of this thread and the reply above from QLD transport, "Coilovers" are refered to the more commonly used aftermarket stuff that we normally replace stock suspension with which most come with height and damper adjustment. The purpose of posting this is to let everyone know, if you have a set fitted on your car and comply with the above (legal height, meant to fit your make and model car without mods, spring rates are not too hard), then you should be fine.

up she goes! Got a few interstate buyers interested! Last chance for pick up!!

Nice wheels mate, but you'd probably sell them faster if you could provide widths and offsets. If they are brand new as u claim they are, the offsets would be written on the sticker inside the wheel. They look like 18x8 ; 18x9???

I second the Falken FK-452s. Bought a set in 18s 235/40 and 265/35 3 weeks ago. Has tempted me to take corners a lot more confidently...awesome value too...$1100 fitted!

correct, so here is the supplement from the mods booklet located on the Qld transport website: Lowering or raising of vehicles The road clearance of a fully laden vehicle must not be less than 100mm measured at any part of the vehicle other than the wheel rim or brake backing plates. (This does not apply where a lesser clearance has been specified by the manufacturer.) When lowering or raising a vehicle body (front or rear), the following additional restrictions are based on the manufacturer's dimensions for the standard unmodified vehicle while unladen: • The ride height measured between the rubber bump stop and the corresponding metal stop may be reduced by no more than one third. • The rebound travel measured between the rubber rebound stop and the corresponding metal stop (or the extension of the shock absorber for vehicles without a rebound stop) may be reduced by no more than one third. • Coil springs are to remain in locating seats on full suspension droop without forcibly being removed. In addition, the normal relationship between the front and rear suspension heights must not be unduly affected. Replacement springs (shorter or taller) must have the same or greater load capacity as the original springs. Note that it says on the last line.."replacement springs must have same or greater load capacity as original" I guess if they want to be picky they can still get you if ur car is rock solid and can't be pushed up and down???

Hi guys, Something which I have been researching since I got my Teins installed. Got this from a thread on NS.com http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...83377&st=30 Posted it here because it was from QLD transport. Hope it gives u guys a bit of relief or a leg to stand on if some cop decides to defect you for coilovers. Please note this only applies to coilovers that are model specific to your car. I will be printing this and keeping a copy in my glove compartment Here is a direct copy and paste of part of the written reply i received from Stuart Burns who is the assistant policy officer for the Department of Transport. It is his job to legally represent the Department when the public makes an inquiry. This reply should be considered gospel, and may be of assistance down the line. "Thankyou for your email regarding vehicle modifications, i will answer each of your questions individually. 1 & 2. Coil over suspension. The fitment of coil over suspension is acceptable providing the units fitted are straight replacement for the old struts, that is, no modifications carried out to the vehicle in order to fit the coil over suspension, no modification plate is required. If any modifications were carried out in order to fit them an engineers report will be required and submitted to the Vehicle Standards & Safety division to obtain a written approval from Queensland Transport. Additionally you must remain compliant with legislation requirements for lowering your vehicle, please see the modification booklet attached at the end of the email for these requirements. The adjustable strut top camber adjusters are classed as accessories, and therefore no approval is required, provided once again no modifications are carried out to fit these. It is the responsibility of the owner and driver of the vehicle to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with the relevant Australian Design Rules for turning requirements etc. A professional suspension technician should be consulted in order to ensure your vehicle can safely operate and that all parts are correctly fitted.
