ah dont stress yourself about it. I got done for the same thing recently. I got an awesome inspector at Welshpool and he passed me with heaps of defects still on there. At the end of the day you should prepare for the worst and hope you get a nice inspector.

Have you checked that the exhaust hieght is ok. The cops gave me a flick knife to test my exhaust height. It was probably 80mm from the ground

^^WHS

100mm from the lowest point with a fully loaded car, so if your at 110mm you might still be considered a little too low by the cops.

Also something like 400-500mm from the lowest point of the headlights or something, I never pay much attention to that one.

Basically, if its lowered enough to look good its too low.

I'm pretty sure it does, had a few mates fail because their kits scraped.

I've also heard that even a wire hanging down counts, because if it's for a fuel pump or something, it rips going over a speed bump, the car will suddenly be inmovable causing headaches for everyone. That's what I've heard anyway.

Point is, kits are included in the too low rules.

Rhys - yeah i have coilovers and will just wind 'em up and take my screamer and de-cat pipe out.....might come cruising tomorrow night not sure yet

ADR rules state the you are not allowed to have different rim width front & rear unless your car came with different rim widths from factory.

Anyways, cheers for teh replies, i'll get back to you tomoro, im sleepy now :D

Stick with the 100mm from the lowest point of the car rule nic, otherwise fools with 20" rims on their fully sick honda accord Si's that are FAR too low will be more legal than an dumped XA falcon (for instance) with standard 12-slotters.

mates escort pano's lowering block u-bolts were 120mm from the ground, and had like 14x8 custom jelly beans. coppers sent him on his merry way. cop measured a brick that he found to around 100mm and stuck it underneath...

gotta love country cops. normally don't spell it with an 'o', but 'flamin mongrelry' cops doesn't make sense.

Yeh, when it comes to ride height, 100mm is the lowest point of the car. That's for everything (kits, cats....mmm kit-kats).

My mate just took his R33 over the pits and he got failed on his rims being too big (R33 gts-t with 19x8.5s all round), and having a spoiler on the boot but not having a brake light in there (as u need a brake light at eye level so they). However, i have taken the spoiler off my car, as you know Rhys.

I might come just to the meet point tonight for the cruise....im sick as a dog atm so i'll see

Unlucky man, I almost got yellowed the other day cause the cops were saying my tyres were to big.....lucky for me it started to rain and they went 'f**k it' :down:

Sorry to highjack, but.....

Are 235's on the front and 255's on the back to large for a R32 GTS-T??

I mean, it is right on the guard, and may even stick a mil over....

Yeah Id say it is.

What are the widths of your wheels?

Your not supposed to go with anything much wider than the widest that came with that car.

So you can argue that the GTR came out with 8" wheels and try get away with say 8.5"?

Any wider and it's too wide unless you get permits/engineers.

Sad but true.

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
