Welshpool & O'Connor u can just rock up and have an inspection, but for East Perth, Warwick, Midland and Kelmscott you need to book.

The cops only have to find one thing wrong with your car to defect it, but then again the police do abuse their powers so your car doesnt really have to have anything wrong with it....

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

so a gtst stock is 16 by 7 so we can go to 20 by 8.75 max legally. is this right?

stock gtst rims are 6.5 i think.

Im pretty sure the constitution leaves road rules to the states? Meaning that a national code of practise isnt going to be valid unless the states have forfeited their constitutional rights to govern this?

I got that info off the state site, its quite possible its outdated, but it seems odd it would still be up if it is.

Maximum passenger car tyre and rim width

Tyres fitted to passenger cars or passenger car derivatives must not be more than 30% wider than vehicle manufacturer's widest optional tyre.

The rim width must not exceed the recommendations for the tyre fitted.

For example, if the original widest optional tyre is 185mm, the maximum tyre width is 1.3 times 185mm = 240.5mm, ie a 235mm wide tyre. The maximum rim width for a 235mm tyre is 9 inches if the aspect ratio is 60 or below.

found it my guess is that it would be the 45 in 235*45*17

Aspect Ratio:

When buying a rim that is larger than stock, you must change the aspect ratio of the tire, too. This will keep your speedometer reading correctly. When you “upsize” your wheel, the aspect ratio will be smaller than stock. This gives your wheels and tires a wider contact patch, improving cornering ability.

Using a smaller than recommended Aspect Ratio means you have less rubber to absorb impact that can damage your rim. It also reduces the amount of contact your tires have with the road.

Using a larger than recommended Aspect Ratio increases the ride height, and will make your speedometer read slower than actual speed. It can also cause rubbing in the wheel wells. It affects steering stability, and will make your car feel floaty when cornering.

When is your car booked in at Joes Mr. Auto? I'll go to his shop and swap em over for the day :P

I'm calling him in a little while (just woke up... I'm a bit of a nightowl because I work late nights) to sort it out & I'll let you know.

I'm perfectly happy for you to grab em (I'll be dropping it as early as possible in the morning) as long as they're properly back on the car when I pick it back up :P

Don't want any of this lol

Edit: PMing you details

What is it with cops giving stickers now and saying tow the car... that is as good as a red sticker which have not been around for years and years...

I would like to know the law that says they can do this, as they are suggesting that you must now tow the car to the mechanics to get fixed and then to the pits before it is drivable...

Technically they could only make you tow it if the wear on the tyres was that bad that it would be dangerous to continue driving. How bad the camber wear is depends on that, but in this weather maybe it could have been justified....

However to do that, really the yellow sticker should be timed & dated to when they write it up, leaving no other option but to tow it, otherwise they can let you drive off again, pull you over after 20m & fine you for driving with an expired yellow sticker ~$600....

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
