Does anyone no where I could get a engineers certificate for my rims..The only thing is the width of my rims are over the legal upgrade limit allowed for my car so, I just need to find someone who will give me a certificate for them...

The only reason why i keep getting defected for my rims is because size, not the width of the rims.

I am located in Sydney, so if anyone could help me out it would be great....

I believe the rule is 2 inches larger in diameter and one inch larger in width

HOWEVER

I when I went for a pink slip at the start of the year the mechanic told me he had to clear a defect for "non standard rims" Yes thats right someone was defected because the rims were not a factory option but were within the boundaries.

here in WA you arent allowed anything over 7" wide, unless it came from the factory with wider and then you arent allowed any wider than what it came form the factory with.

also here in WA to get an engineers cert you just call the licensing dept and get a list of approved engineers and give one of them a call...

In SA, you can only go up 2" from factory, but you can go as wide as you like so long as no part of the tread of the tyre passes the outter most part of the guard (they will defect your car for being out of track if your tyres hang out of your guards).

And even with an engineers report the copps will still pull you over if you go past normal legal stndards, and be more inclinded to go right over your car for a defect.

but if they book you for anything that you have an engineers report for you can fight it and win. then they end up doing traffic duty and all the other crappy jobs for a while. i had a mate who got defected even though he had a report for it. the cop said that it didn't mean crap. so he took it to court and won. the judge said that if it has passed a engineers report (that has been done properly, not just done without looking) then there is nothing the cops can do about it. and that cop got into trouble over it.

but yes they may get out the fine tooth comb to find something to book you for.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo

      I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.

      Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
