Yes i think i will get an engineers certificate, although i am aware you can still get defected with one.

Ok here is a pic of the magna :) , please guys dont pick on me for having a magna :(

I love my skylines, but also love my children to be able to fit in the back! lol, NO smartass comments okay :P

sorry mate, just kidding. :(

You can go 2" larger in Diameter and 1" wider with the rims (iirc, it might have changed since I last looked a few years ago) so unless your Magna came with 18" rims standard, then, yes, to legally use that sized wheel, you need an engineers certificate to say that the rim size isn't doing thing like overloading the wheel bearings/suspension components/suspension geometry.

Its not rim diameter, its overall rolling diameter of the TYRE. so only 15mm increase in overal tyre diameter over the largest availble stock on the magna.. which would be ... 15" in a 55? profile.. so if by chance they make 20" tyres in 205 30's or smaller then i doubt it would be legal.

u got zinged.

Hi guys, just thought someone may be able to help me, i have had the worst weekend, had my r32 defected and my magna sports, i am certainly not after sympathy, as i know it was my choice to drive these vehicles defected, anyway the magna was done for 20 inch rims, i was told that i may be able to get an engineers certificate for these? this sounds a little like bullshit* anyone have any idea if there is any truth in this ect,

probably be easier to borrow stockies or even borrow some smaller rims off some1 until u clear the defect

Step 1 - rent a magna

Step 2 - swap rims

Step 3 - clear defect

Step 4 - Winnar!

Anyway - 20" rims are weaksauce. 88"s are where it's at...

I'm just waiting for Chingy to bust out a rhyme about having a rotational inertia greater than a ferris wheel :wave:

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
