Going back to Dickson today with a tare weight and Leigh's stockies. This is my third and final day rego permit so if i fail this time the fun will really start when i have to get the dam thing towed back and forth...

About dam time! 20 days after buying the car i can now drive it.

Thought i was in trouble though, for some reason my placard said 250/50 Front 250/55 rear and the wheels I had on were 250/50 front and rear so I was crapping myself thinking they would fail me again. Made it through and went for my first (legal) cruise :)

Thanks for the wheels leigh, would of been buggered without them, when is the best time to return them?

Hmm i think either your place card is wrong or they advised you wrong. A stock R33 GTS-T S1 or S2 the placecard should read

205/55/16

OR

225/50/16

they should not be a different sizes.

The ones i lent you were 225/55/16 so if they failed you i would have gone out and given them crap :D

Um give me a buzz and we will sort something out but anytime after 5ish the rest of the week should be ok.

jeez what was i reading off, then again i was going by memory so would make sense. All i know is the front and rears said 2 different sizes and the wheels matched the front :)

Thursday night is the only night ive got free this week so I'll call around 5pm to see if your free

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
