Rim width must not exceed the maximum rim width specified by the manufacturer by more than 25mm (1") (for passenger vehicles manufactured after 1st January 1973, the manufacturers rim width shall be taken as that specified on the tyre placard).

In any event, rim width shall not exceed 177.8 mm (7") unless specified by the manufacturer as standard equipment for the vehicle in question. No increase in rim width is permitted for vehicles fitted with original equipment rims in excess of 177.8 mm (7") width.

The tyre to rim fitment must be in accordance with the Tyre and Rim Association Manual.

All wheels must be the same size, profile and bolt pattern.

Thats probabbly everything that applies Douse.

incorrect, that's the old ruling, its since been replaced/updated.

read the 'National Code of Practice' for the current ruling.

i think that they should make a website or something stating how low you can go and what you can have permits for in your car or what you can put etc etc... my bad if they have this already

they do. its called the 'National Code of Practice', and covers everything to do with vehicle modifications.

google it and you shall find everything you need to know.

wow.. when did that come into affect?

it came and went. :rofl:

We even still have that in our "vehicle handbooks" (which has a section for vehicle modifications, so the 'old ruling' must still be correct in WA.

However, i don't really give two peanuts, so i'll just get over the pits on wednesday and then back to the way it was before minus the screamer lol

I just got a yellow sticker after seperating from the ddd cruise.

For : my blue parking lights at the front.

I wouldnt have been pulled if my fog lights didnt accidently come on though

So i am epicly annoyed that i have to go to the pits and make the efforttttt

/rant

I failed the pits on Wednesday for the tread on the rear tyres not being even due to camber wear (however, the rear tyres are not down to the inside markers yet, and the minimum tread depth level is 1.5mm, my rears have about 5mm left on them >.<), my blow-off valve being too noisy but its the stock BOV o.O, and my brake light in the spoiler not working ><

Oh well, at least i know they will only check these things when i go back over the pits :)

everytime ive had a sticker ive had to call the pits EG warwick and book it in.. not many places just let you rock up these days

this ruling went out about 3 years ago

ruling is now 1.25

ie:: r32 gtr stock runs 16 x 8 equates to 16x1.25 = 20 //// 8x1.25 = 10

therefore a r32 gtr can legally now run 20x10 rims

this was explained to me by Reno the head guy at welshpool pits when i got my gtr registered with 17x9's on it

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
