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; or  

less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.  

1 inch wider only.

see thats the funny thing, all the states are interpreting the ADRs in different ways. The 1 intake modification for example in Vic is rubbish! What does that protect against? Can't you still engineer it?

Someone should really challenge those "interpretations" :(

If your car dosen't look that 'flashy' you won't be pulled over as much. Some things that really catches a cops eye are big shiney loud mufflers, lots of performance stickers, bright neons and over the top body kits (just keep it simple). Most cops don't know much about cars so if it not noticeable to them you will be safer. Things like turbos and ,pods,blow off valves should be kept out of sight as much as possible, nothing like polished turbos and blow of valves or intercoolers. Oh and gauges have as less as you can preferably not on the dashboard or sides.

Things like thins can really keep you out of the inspection bay.

15mm according to that.

 

Non standard turbo must be approved too.

No sorry, you're wrong.

A 25mm increase in width is allowed, and up to 15mm overall increase in wheel and tyre diameter is ok. That means you can legally have 22" rims on your car, as long as you have really low profile tyres, so that the overall diameter is still similar.

No sorry, you're wrong.

...don't try to force Victorian law onto NSW people.....

As previously stated, laws vary from state to state.

abo bob is in fact correct. :D

Did anyone find out about carbon fibre bonnets or bonnets pins? Also, I was told some non factory body kits eg front bars can be defectable as they're not factory and ' could ' be weaker and if in a crash or hitting a person could bugger up more ect...

Most aftermarket fiberglass front bars are weak as piss and would break into small pieces if in an accident. I wonder how these bars affect the front crumple zone.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
