Hey Everyone In Act

[Helious]

Hey everyone on SAU

I just purchased a GTR R32 and found myself with those little annoying problems of getting it registered into my name. Luckly they are rather little. Basically if you have read my post in 'i can lend' thread Bluey started up then you will know what i need. Basically I need a stock Exhaust (that or stock suspension) as the muffler is too low (9cm) when the car is under full load (4 people sitting in it) so either need stock suspension to raise it a few cm (as it looks like it has lower springs) or the exhaust that will fit more closer to the body. Second is the more important but which is that i require a r32 GTR bonnet as my current is CF and the RTA havent made a rule of whether they are generally safe so a RTA engineer has to take a look at it and make a ruling themselves. I'm willing to pay for the 'rent' aswell.

So I anyone has one or two of those give me a PM and go from there. I haven't had chance at taking pictures, but once i start driving it around you will see it (ITS GREEN!! O.o)

Thanks for reading.

Last I checked a cars ride height was taken at kerb weight (all fluids and 10L of fuel), so I don't know where they get the 4 passengers from.

[Helious]

I though that to as if that was case then they could never defect you for ride height if it was at 10.5cm with only you in your car, but 9cm IF you had a full passangered car. I have to look into that furtherly so if anyone has a definate ruling on that please let us know Also would it be different in NSW then in ACT?

Looks like I'll be buying some stock springs so I can get it registered as it doesn't seem like anyone has any to borrow. So just need to ask a question. If someone has a GTR r32 which still have its stock springs on it, can you please measure the distance between the top of the rear guard and the centre wheel hub. I'm trying to figure out if buying stocks will push it up atleast another 2cm as that will get it past RTA even with 4 guys in car.

Thanks!

I really dont think they can make you put 4 ppl in the car to check the height, tell them to piss off over that one.

If you have coil overs [and you must to get it low], then just get someone to wind the adjustment up on the locking rings. I'd reckon you'd have plenty there to use.

If you have the 'C' spanners you could do it yourself.

i thought they didnt like them full stop.?

Engineered they dont have a choice, not engineered dont even bother.

It's got lower king springs on it or something, but I got some stock springs and going to put them on. Does anyone in ACT want to get rid of their stock wheels?

They gave me a sheet about lowering a car, and it has to be above 10cm under a load of 63kg per seat?? Wouldnt know how they got that figure??

Thanks for the replys

Would anyone know if r33 GTST wheels (stock) will fit my R32 GTR properly to get it over the Pits. I'm not sure about the offset or the it fouling the breaks. Also will the RTA have a go at my wheels if there is a spacer on it (as i seem to remember to the offset is less on GTST wheels then on GTR wheels.)

CHEERS!!

[Bullet32]

Im not sure about the R33 wheels but...

Floating spacers are illegal... Bolt on spacers can be legal if they dont increase your cars track to much.

[Helious]

Just enough to make them not hit the breaks if they do??

[Bullet32]

The problem will be if you use bolt on spacers that are shorter than your wheel studs then you will most likely have to grind the studs down to make them fit and thats illegal, however if you get spacers that are wide enough that you wont need to grind your studs down they will probably increase your wheel track to much and they'll fail you on that... Youre better off finding a set of standard GTR wheels if you can.

Spacers arent a good idea anyway.

[Helious]

Thanks for the advice Bullet32. I've found a set of GTR standards and waiting for PM reply. I just want it on the road as soon as possible as having it sitting in my garage looking pretty isnt really what a GTR was built to do.

Cheers

I'm guessing the mods can delete this now
