i thought it u were allowed 3 inches more than standard? so if standard is 16, wouldnt 19 be just legal or is that including the tyre also?

while were are on the topic of wheels :P does anyone's r33 space saver 17"?? i thought it was a bit weird cause if standard is 16 on a 33 gtst i have no idea why my space saver 17" only conclusion i can come up with is the previous owner bought it... but who buys space saver wheels?????

pretty sure the rule is that you can go as large a rim as possible as long as the diameter of the tyre is no bigger than 15mm more than standard or 26mm less than standard.

the 1.3 times rule applies to the width of the tyre. so if the widest optional tyre was a 205 then the widest tyre you can legally fit is a 265.

then both those rules can be followed but you can still not be legal if the tyre doesn't have the correct load rating.

then if you get wheels with the wrong offest you can be defected for altering the track of the vehicle. (can be widened by up to 26mm, so that's a difference of 13mm offset per wheel. can't be reduced though)

there is no rules reguarding the maximum width or height of rims (unlike nsw where you are allowed to only go 26mm wider than the widest optional rim without needing it certified), however you would be bound by what tyres you can run as your tyre/rim combination must be suitable (can't put super wide tyres on skinny rims, and can't stretch a 235 onto a 10" rim, LOL). they must still meet the australian tyre and rim standards.

The giant post of faggotry was almost as blinding as the ugly ass chrome wheels. And I *love* the fuzzy dice. That's JDM as fuck :D are they for when you need to show the policeman how you'll cup him if he doesn't fine you for:

loose pod

vented bov

wheel spacers

non engineered FMIC

object hanging from your rear view mirror

?

Another 33 on the water though - points for getting it right (must the photo from when he arrived from Christmas Island)

The funniest part; is that anybody who mentioned anything about the illegal things on his car that a mechanic let slide, the ones that could save him a fine, those of us who were really really trying to help him, got called asshat, douche, and something else that I cbf going back to check because I can't read Shalik's scattered Indian-English... it makes my Oxford PHD cry.

actually... the funniest part might be that this car will always look stolen :P

I might go cheer myself up by performing on my performance wheels for a while :)

OP: the guys have been pretty harsh, but they raise some valid points. IMHO you should read between the lines and heed their advice.

Mechanic #6 definitely sounds dodgy, as mentioned you should only get a roadworthy cert if your car is indeed roadworthy. If he hands over RWCs that easily (aka a 'phoneworthy') then you have to wonder what kind of other questionable business practices they're involved in. Find a reputable mechanic and stick with them. The good ones are generally not the cheapest, and will often be the ones who will tell you what you don't want to hear rather than just saying "she'll be right", taking your money and sending you on your way. The first five you went to may have come up with different lists of problems but at least they didn't let an obviously illegal car pass a roadworthy. If you're on the Gold Coast then you have a few options, Gavin Wood for example has a pretty good reputation. If you're willing to go a bit further north, Elite Racing Developments at Yatala also has an extremely good reputation, and for any work I can't do myself is my mechanic of choice, despite them being an hour away.

If you want a turbo then check the SAU traders out, any one of them that deal with turbos should be able to give you plenty of advice, again ERD are a good place to start. As has also been mentioned though, you'll struggle to do much with $700, unless you can find a second-hand turbo, or maybe a Chinese knockoff of unknown quality (hint: don't).

As for your queries about car sound, check the Car Audio & Security section here on SAU. There are plenty of knowledgeable people around so as long as you're clear about what you are trying to achieve you should be laughing.

On a side note, the pic you posted isn't a GTR...
