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.

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.

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.

    • It's going to be gregged when it spins a bearing (it's in a Skyline, it's inevitable) and he takes out that super close windage tray 😛   Greg, did you say you changed the roller rocker RATIO or just the type you're using?
    • One of the big things people mess up to, is the location of the ports on the sump. Add them in one spot, and the movement of everything in the crankcase makes it hard for oil to drain down there. Place it in another area, and it aids it. Same sort of issue with the cam covers. One side of drain holes is copping it hard from air movement pushing up.   Also, if your catch can has a 2.3L capacity, and you've only ever drained 600ml of oil out of the catchcan, yet the catch cans breather has puked oil everywhere, fact of the matter is, your catch can is doing a shit job of oil/air separation, and a massive improvement alone would just be in a better catchcan design.
    • It's usually the pointy end of the wheel brace* digging into the palm of your hand. * I refuse to use the term "lug wrench".
    • not something I originally wanted to do. My plan was to just add the cam splash shields. This is the result of speaking with a few people in both time attack and drifting that have RB's making the same or more power than mine with the same issues. Using their experience and advice for what has actually worked in a similar application (sustained high RPM, long sweeping corners). They all have had at least an additional head sump drain breathers on top of the rear of head welsh plug drain/breather. I wouldn't do this for a car that's only street driven even my current setup has been sufficient for street duties.
    • The OEM lug wrench you really need to put a lot of body weight on it to hit 75-80 ft-lbs compared to a torque wrench where I can knock it out no problem as a desk jockey that never hits the gym. The torque limit is your own body.
