Hey

I was cruising with some friends and we went through Southport and saw like 20 cops in patrol cars parked in a parking lot all talking to each other.

So while we were driving slowly passed we decided to cruise around places that they weren't likely to go.

also saw a undercover Aurion which pulled over a 4WD and a undercover Commodore pull over someone else.

Just wondering if it was a Blitz getting prepared for the Saturday night?

here is the map of where they were.

They have to be the same diameter as factory including rubber +15mm or -26mm. So if you get some real low profile tyres you could probably go an extra 1"

As quoted from QLD transport light mod guide:

"The rim diameter may be varied from the standard size

but the overall diameter of the tyre must not vary by

more than +15mm or -26mm.

These limits have been set for a number of reasons.

Varying the overall diameter of tyres affects ground

clearance, centre of gravity, brake effectiveness, steering

geometry, performance and speedometer accuracy."

With 20's on a r33 your fecked :D

All you need to do is find out standard rim and tyre diameter that they came factory with, and then change your rims and tyres to your hearts content within the limitations of QLD Transport..... speaking of which, anyone know the TOTAL diameter for a 34gtt? Me thinks I might need to look at getting rid of some things that keeps the rims off the brakes sometime... Can't use the "but I bought it that way from the dealer excuse" if I get pulled up for the little bits of metal....

yes i see that my speedo is out by 7kms when doing 100km, i have 255 25/20 on back and 245 20/20 on front, pretty small rubber band on the front lol

yes u can only go a certain amount of inches over ur factory wheels.. something 2 do with rolling diameter. When u go too big or change profiles by a massive amount it puts your speedo out n shit.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
