nah man, getting the car to the pit somewhere next week, not sure if the 18" now will pass the pit, if they dont, i'll end up paying another $50.60 for the inspection fees.

And i am actually thinking about changing the rims. The one i have now is volks racing 18" tri spokes. 265/35 new tyres.

Would be happy to trade the existing rims with the standard ones and perhaps they could compensate me a little for that.

Sub , check the tyre placard which should be on the driver or passenger door pillar inside when you open the door.

Little white sticker thingy. Check to see if it is complied with 18's as well as 17's.

If it is and you have new or near new Aust spec tyres ( ie. DOT approved) and they are not poking out past the guards then there should be no grief.

I would suggest to go to the Welshpool licensing centre .......

Cheers

Ken

Never been to Freo but I can tell do NOT go to warwick and East Perth is fairly hard.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
