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.

    • yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.
    • I presume you are talking about a C34? Have you seen the buyers guide? https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/ It's what got me to sign up to the forums when I bought mine. What kind of insight are you after? Up front I'd probably suggest to not get tempted by the poverty-spec models. I can't imagine a RB20DE to be engaging to drive in a 1600kg car.
    • yeah I try to be positive. Time will tell what becomes of it. Realistically my only other choice than to just deal with all the issues is to walk away and just sell it agai, at a loss.     I know a fair bit about these cars and knew before buying. I will try to deal with the rusty spots without tearing apart the metalwork for now. Sooner or later I probably will have to bite the bullet and do (or ge done) the arguably worst job an a 33/34 Skyline.
    • I'm aware that you can sink endless amounts of money into an engine. I don't want that kind of engie though. My power goal is 500, maybe 600hp at the max. I can get by with the nearly stock engine that I have now for that purpose and if it does need a rebuild at some point I would choose longer lasting components instead of the most ridiculously hp-rated ones. And do all the essentials of course.
