Help Me Please!

I know this is a big ask but i have an urgent query.

Last thursday night i was pulled over in my relatively stock gtr. was defected for parkers being blue, (they're led white) and my front pipes being too low. i thought they were stock but under closer inspection, i found that they are indeed aftermarket. they are only about 10mm too low. the bloody cop only gave me 6 days to clear a major defect. (ahhhhhhhhh bastard, i thought that they had to have 3 things before it was a major.) the simplest method of rectifying this problem i could think of was if someone was kind enuf and had them to spare for a couple of days while i get the defect cleared :D change my stock 16in gtr rims for a set of 17in or preferably 18in, (to be sure) rims with a larger rolling diameter to bring the height of the car up. like i said. it's a big ask but i have run out of options. i am most willing to leave my gtr rims as calateral. preferably eastern suburbs. can anyone help me please????? :)

was about to say the same thing... uve only just got it on the road lol

was the height of the pipes measured on a definate flat peice of ground or curved road?

he did get u for 3 things... left and right bulbs and ur height :D

gay but thats how it works.

just go get a RWC again or if ur last ones still current take that to vic roads to clear it lol

you'd be welcome to swap my 18" rims off my gts-t to get it cleared as im on my L's and the car just sits in the driveway anyways... but i dont think the offset would be right to fit a gtr :D

oh yeah, ruffels your car is clean as.  even tho you're still just on ya L's, you've done a great job. definate respect to ya.

haha thanks man

its no gtr though :(

thanks for the spin in your car.. that was amazing.. never felt acceleration and traction at the same time quite like that

quite breathtaking i must say

looking forward to seeing you again at the show and shine.. or quite possibly in the next couple of days if you cant get any more wheels sorted out and have to use the spacers

I wouldnt put the spacers on if you are going to get a defect cleared - arent they defectable?

Also, going from 17s to 18s probably wont increase ur ride height. Maybe borrow some stock dump pipes for the test?

plan change.. im free almost all friday, so let me know what you wanna do.. by the way, I have only 2 spaces, so it might not actually be that helpful... but how old is the roadworthy you got for getting your car regoed in the first place? as inark mentioned, you can probably just use the same certificate and have your car fixed up without seeing another roadworthy place at all?

rylan... my wheels fit fine on the back... its just we need the extra 3mm clearance form the brakes on the front...

if your jsut going to get a height defect cleared... doubt they are gonna look at the wheels and notice the spacers on the front

if they ask how you overcame the height problem... just tell them you got a new dump.. they arent gonna know what wheels you had on when the cops pulled you over.. so i wouldnt draw un nessasary attension to the wheels or it may lead to them noticing the spacers

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
