  1. That but with slight gutter rash They are 17x9+20 Honestly thought they were 18s, farkin deceiving lip I don't mind them, they've actually grown on me, and 255/R17 tyres are pretty good value. Just a shame I bought those AD08s lol Might whack two on the R33 and sell the other pair...shouldn't be hard to move them for what I paid for them or more
  2. That moment you realise the BBS LMs on your car are 17", not 18" Oh well, shouldn't be too hard to offload the cheap AD08s. Can whack two on the GTS-T and sell other two, or could swap the LMs for a set of 18s in something else...just can't think of any particular wheels I really fancy...
  3. Oddly haven't had any run ins with him yet, though Knox TMU have given me two speeding fines already since living here lol Farkin Scoresby Rd and Dorset Rd
  4. It's a secret, but very close to RP, which is handy for putting a broken RB26 over to there
  5. No, though ironically I've driven past your house more since moving here than I did in Vermont.
  6. Subtle visit to RacePace It's handy living two streets away from both of them Couldn't have picked a better suburb for modifying cars
  7. Dunno eBay that shit
  8. Then get some sticky 235 fronts, like R1Rs
  9. As for me, welcome to dat 4 tyres at the same time lyf. Lucky those were cheap. #gtrproblems
  10. If you're only driving on the street and not in the wet or hitting corners you'll be fine. Need more grip on the back anyway.
  11. You'd be surprised My KU31s have at least 50,000km on them and still 40% tread You just can't kill these tyres
  12. 6 x tyres bought, 2 are yours Alvin. Will PM you bank details for Wednesday. They said they only had a small amount left but 6 should be fine so there's prolly fk all left now.
  13. Sorry I just remembered they don't come for 8-10 days. If you pay me on Wednesday I'll pay for a pair for you.
  14. If you promise to pay me and pick up Wednesday night I might be able to arrange that
  15. Sigh I'm going to have to buy some for the R
  16. How much and what size?
  17. When I stop wasting my money on cars Must save for a house at some point...
  18. As far as I'm aware. I've read the ACT website a ton of times and that's the interpretation I've made.
  19. You do if you live in ACT and are buying a vehicle from there. Though they don't call it a RWC, it's an inspection / essentially the same thing.
  20. When the seller handed in the notice of disposal it put the vehicle rego under my name. There was a good chance it was never going to do that - I expected it to stay under his name and simply say that he vehicle had been sold interstate, thereby requiring from me a RWC. But VicRoads confirmed that it's currently under my name.If I could go back I would have renewed the rego before seller handed in notice of disposal, but I can't now, and I didn't know it would put it under my name and that could have wasted my money / refunded ACT rego to the seller come the time I transfer it over. Catch 22 risk.
  21. Which brings me to a whinging point, that Leesh went and got her car sighted for the compliance information, and the guy kicked up a fuss / refused to register the vehicle because the chassis number stamped in the chassis was missing the pointless "6U9000" at the start of it. But ALL Skylines come from factory this way and every registered Skyline in Victoria does not have those numbers at the start because you don't need them. Now the whole point of that number being there is so that they can rule it out as a stolen / vin swapped vehicle...so naturally his clever recommendation was that we go and get those numbers added to the start of the chassis number...for what fkn purpose? What's stopping us from doing that to a rebirthed car? Those same digits ARE on the compliance plates along with the rest of the chassis number, because it's the same damn number.
  22. Yep.
  23. What Tony copied and pasted - how I interpret it, based on the situation I'm currently looking at - is that if the other state has put the ongoing registration under your name on their database and it is no longer under the name of the seller who sold you it, then you don't need a RWC. But if that state leaves it under the seller's name or the registration has expired, then VicRoads will ask you for a RWC. Either I got lucky, or it may be a loophole exclusive to ACT's system, but it's a bureaucratic loophole built around people moving interstate not having to get a RWC cause they're not selling the car to anyone.The appointment simply means you have to go there in person to show identity and sign forms etc. I do need to go for an inspection, but only to sight compliance plates because it's an import and the compliance information is missing from the national database. Leesh had to do this for her car too, because Victoria is the only fkn state that requires this information - the rest of the states couldn't give a fk and therefore don't put compliance info on the national database. And therefore refuse to if you ask them to.
  24. It's a lengthy story and there's been a lot of fking around on my part getting facts and figures from overly bureaucratic public servant establishments...but basically, when the seller handed in their notice of disposal to the ACT RTA, it put the vehicle under my name. Because he handed in a notice of disposal I cannot renew the registration in ACT (I tried to, to give me time to fix the engine before registering in Vic), because there is a bar on renewing the rego there...obviously the notice of disposal incurs this...however...the vehicle is under my name according to ACT. So there exists a small window until my ACT rego expires, where on paper, it's as if I owned/drove the vehicle in ACT. And because it was mine there, I don't need a RWC to register it in Victoria (just like Leesh didn't need a RWC to bring her own car here from WA).If I was actually an ACT resident, I would have needed a RWC for it to change names, but because I'm interstate they don't care - the assumption is that my state's RTA will require one themselves - but they don't because it's already in my name. And I don't know whether it's just the ACT that does it...because someone told me they bought a car from NSW and they had to get a RWC.
