Got booked without specific reason- Not happy at all :(


Recommended Posts

Aftermarket wheels can be maximum 1 inch larger diameter or width than stock wheels, so the police are in the right.

Tough but its on the vicroads website for everyone to see.

Close, but not quite...

do you have a link? I did a search but couldnt find it :confused:

Well this is not so relevant to you but for us Victorians we just need to head for straight Section 8 (ironically the same name as that used for discharge for insanity from the US Army, the rule Klinger from MASH was trying to use to get out of Korea)

VicRoads - Vehicle Standards Information - Section 8

The specific item of concern regarding wheels

The width of any replacement rim must not be:  

more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series

Well the GT-R is part of the Skyline series so I would agree that this should allow for up 9½-inches... because 10-inch wheels are 25.4mm greater than the widest wheel... Don't think they wouldn't try that on you!!! :bs!:

The wheel diameter has no rule but the total tyre diameter must conform to

The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be:  

more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series

Thanks Gojira, that was my understanding. there is no rule on wheel diameter....same as the ADRs. Tyre & wheel diamter, fair enough that should be close to stock otherwise your speedo is stuffed.

My compliers were kind enought to put the GTR wheel sizes on the tyre placard so I would be covered for larger wheels :)

Speedo's are only a substitute for the revolver in russian roulette down here in vic now Duncan since the Bracks govt legislated a 3kmh blanket tolerance for speed, not the ADR 10%.

Hi SkylineGeoff - Can you suggest where I can go to pick up one of those placards ? I don't think my car has one of those anywhere, and if I do get one, I'd want it to be relevant to the car, not just going up to 15 by 6 inch wheels.

I thought they were generally stuck to the inside of the drivers side door or the glove box.

haha the windscreen washer not working... i got done on that when I first went to rego my car. THe Vicroads dude checked it n goes... unroadworthy... i was like wtf... looked in the tank, no water... asked him where I could get some water, the cvnt refused to help n wanted me to come in again... so I poured my bottle of sprite in there and asked him to try again... it squirted sprite and I passed the RWC... lol needless to say I flushed the whole thing out when i got home...

if you get the placard for a 34 [doesnt say r34 on it i dont think] it doesnt specify much difference between models it just lists:

17 x 7.5 with 225/45 tyres and

18 x 9.5 with 265/35 tyres I think

So technically I could put some big & wide fcuk off rims on mine :P

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
