code of practice states diffrerent

Sorry but no.

The wheels must be contained within the bodywork, or mudguards (including flares) when the

wheels are in the straight ahead position.

And the code is still in draft and live so it does not come into play legaly, your state authority guidelines are the ones you must comply with.

Its a good read though.

Well then how about a link to said docs, as during my engineering process this came up as well, all the information I have come up with states that you cannot have wheels or tyres outside the body line, this is also what my engineer said, but if you have some new relevant information that can be backed up by a legal document that the local (i.e NSW RTA for example) will use for compliance then I shall be proven wrong.

Until then just saying Im wrong holds no weight.

NCOP11 Section LS Suspension and Steering V2 01Jan2011 [dl_acrobat.gifPDF: 1319 KB]

4.2.3 Clearance

No part of the wheel must touch any part of the body, chassis, steering, braking system or

suspension under any operating condition. To check this, the vehicle must be fully laden and

capable of negotiating raised obstacles that would normally be encountered whilst driving such

as speed humps and driveway entries. This test should be conducted from lock to lock without

any part of the rim or tyre contacting any other part of the vehicle. Test weight for passengers is

68kg plus 15kg per person for luggage where luggage space is provided.

Section LS Tyres, Rims, Suspension and Steering

Version 2.0 – 1 January 2011 Page 21/LS85

The wheels must be contained within the bodywork , or mudguards (including

flares) when the

wheels are in the straight ahead position.

Steering and/or suspension stops must not be modified to provide clearance for wheels.

Skyline model = R33 GTS

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9" front 10" rear

Wheel offset =45 on rims using 30mm bolt-on spacers = 15 offset

Tyre size = 235/45/17 front 255/40/17 rear

Modifications to fit =roll guards

Wondering on fitment for r34 with no problems and unrolled guards?

18x8.5+25

18x9.5+35

thanks

if it is stock height that will fit no worries, even with full sized tyres to the rims. Tho it may rub on the plastic splash guards in the fronts when turning hard, but it isnt hard to do that anyway. Nor is it a problem.

If you lower the car you will need to roll the rear arches.

I had 34R wheels on which are 9.0 + 30 with no dramas, new rims are a 9.5 so hoping all should be ok

didnt you check what clearance you had then when you had those rims on? that way you would easily be able to tell what ur working with.

Also your wheel alignmentsetup is going to play a part so what might fit on one car will rub on another...

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
