Right, my zed has been off the road for a while now which means I have to get a blue slip to get it registered again. Mechanically it is fine BUT I have wheels that require spacers to clear the calipers. I am aware that they are illegal and supposedly unsafe and I am expecting to hear the usual - sell your wheels and buy some that fit. What i would like to hear is recommendations for places that could possibly be lenient, or any opinion on what i can do. Any advice would be great. Cheers people Erik oh, and i am in the Lower North Shore area of Sydney
get some proper bolt on spacers. Just jap sell a range for about 15mm to 30 odd. bolt ons will pass the blue slip, but slip on spacers will not linky for ya http://www.justjap.com/parts_nhubs.htm hope it all goes well for you. Regards, Trev
Cheers for the help guys, If I had a set of stockers I would for sure. As for the spacers, @ $600, that would convince me to buy a set of wheels that do fit.
Speaking of blue slips. What things are tested? I need to go for my blue slip soon as well and i was wondering if they could detect a missing EGR. I have thought about taking mine off except simon from TTZed mentioned that it may not pass... I know they test exhaust db too, and that its, i think, max of 120db @ 3000rpm. What about pod filters? Staggered wheels? Camber arms/after market suspension? Is the blue slip just a "PASS" or "FAIL" thing? What is the actual process... sorry for all the questions... just curious
Are you sure that is JustJap's quoted price for bolt-on spacers, or the price for 4-stud to 5-stud conversion plates?? Would not have thought normal spacers to be anywhere near that price... Give JJ a ring and confirm - tell them what you want them for... As for using stock rims for a blue slip and then changing back to aftermarket.... be careful re your insurance.... make sure they know you are running different rims else they could refuse a future claim.
