it's pretty witty really..

what makes you think that it would be any different to put 33's on the same car because of location? it rains less here so you can probably even put them on without getting wet

[atari4x4]

the pole smoker has already logged off, just because he got suckered in on 33's thread on 3wd Craption

[nintendo4x4]

not sure who he is but in Wales where I'm from 33s are not allowed, have to run 29s. While holidaying in Aus last Xmas in Sydney there were heaps of zuks wth big tyres around but when we were in Perth there were none. So can it be done or not

[nintendo4x4]

ah see what you mean with the name , lol

it was anickname my car got because it looks like atoy

[shep]

why would santana want 33s he probably has a big fuck off tank or something.

Just do it. I will be in a few months time.

[buzbox]

Do a search, this topic has been covered many times before.

[nintendo4x4]

yeah just saw he other thrad below and am reading it

[buzbox]

Your first search wasn't good enough so your not allowed to ask any questions until you search some more. Even if you can't find the answers your looking for, keep searching.

[ajsr]

it really depends what state your planning on living in.
If its southern australia you can run really big tyres as the earths gravity is stonger the further south you go, therfore the cog (center of gravity) of you car gets lower and you can run really big tyres maybe even 37 - 40" in tasmania(not that anyone wants to live there).
If your going to darwin and why would you? You could only safely run 30 -31' tyres as there is almost no gravity near the equator, and cars just fall over by themselves there.
I hope this helps

Ok now we have a location, I can tell you its only legal to run 31" tyres at that north up australia due to the dwindling gravity that far up the country.
there are serious fines for running bigger tyres so far up the country so it might be safer to run 30 inch tyres just incase you drive to far north by mistake.

or you could move to a place that is so awesome it is called a territory and as long as you avoid
the cesspit of a capital city nobody cares what ya do just so long as you dont impact
on anybody's lifestyle.

[buzbox]

It can't, shouldn't and won't be done because it's Illegal, unless you get it legal.

Do a search.

[ajsr]

you know why its a territory???
its the territory no fucker wanted peaceout

[Polar_Bear]

i have a territory in my driveway, can i fit 33's to that, i'm in a southern state, so the laws of gravity permit it

[nintendo4x4]

so I can't do 33s is that wat you are saying?

no idea what the gravity crap you are on about i, in joke I guess.

We are getting all our stuff shipped out and we can fit the SJ in the container with our furniture and stuff so its not really costing anything as my wifes employer is paying for the move

[alien]

hahah OMG talk about hassling the new guy =) hahaha

33's anywhere in australia on a sierra is gonna be tough to engineer - why do i say engineer? because the laws here dont allow for much modification without a consulting engineer and the appropriate imposed testing...

for example: i'm in perth and run 31s... my zuk is the last in WA to pass under the 'old' legistlation on modded 4x4s. i had to have an engineer sign off on the mods as well as do the 'lane change test' (search youtube for suzuki sierra lane change). with WA's new laws you'd be lucky to get 29's passed on a sierra... its fucked. technically a sierra cant legally run a 215/75r15 in WA (stock size is 205/70r15).

anyway - like others said, sell the car over there and buy one over here - be far cheaper. then, once you get here talk to local authorities about what you can and cant do, and like 99% of people on here, ignore what they tell you and do whatever you want anyway =) lol

[nintendo4x4]

ahh an answer that makes sense.

So an engineer is a legal person or something. We will be in QLD so do they have the same lane change as WA?

No need to sell and buy as its costing me nothing to bring here will just have to get a tag or whatever you have and clean the living heck out of it before bringing it in.

[alien]

an engineer is an automotive engineer - someone who has the knowledge, training and experience to certify modifications are safe.

You need an engineer to certify modifications (as you'll need some severe mods to clear 33s) before the goverment would sign off on them being legal (a special permit)... however like i said the laws changed here in WA and in QLD are stricter still.

It would be best you spend some time on the phone with the people at transport in QLD, information on which is here: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Safety/Vehicl ... tions.aspx

Happy reading =)

[Zook_Fan]

i just wrote up in the other thread the rules for QLD, mate there is no way of making 33's legal in this state. It is retarded and you just have to live with it. Most coppers won't care about sizes around 29", some get away with bigger. Best solution is to have a spare set of tyres for play so the car is not often seen with the big tyres.

[nintendo4x4]

guess I'll keep it as is then. Sounds like you have the same people as we do making the rules

[nintendo4x4]

ohh and atari pull your head in, nice way to greet a new member by telling them to fuck off and calling them a pole smoker.

At least there seems to be some helpful guys here thanks to them

[alien]
