Anyone know of/have access too - a weight bridge somewhere in Melb?

There used to be one in Tullamarine i used to use years ago at a logistics company outside thier gate but its no longer there so that kinda sucks.

So im looking for another (as are a few mates) so we can weigh our cars and find out the actual numbers :banana:

Lemme know!

Cheers :D

we have scales for our work commodore cup cars so you can find out the weight on all 4 corners. i'd have to ask the mech for permission though seeing as i'm not technically allowed to use the workshop (even though i do :banana:)

Try a local tip/waste transfer station - Not sure if it is free or not.....

or

you can fool them into saying you have rubbish to dump, you then have drive up onto the scales, peer over into the office and you will see the weight of your car. :banana:

I weigh my patrol at BP in Fitzgerald road in laverton. Cant do corners but can do axels!!

I go when its not busy, ask first and they dont charge me......or you can just drive on the weighbridge, go inside and look at the screen behind the cashiers head and it has the weights there!

Ash, there's one in Cheltenham/Moorabbin at the Metal recyclers... i don't think they charge from memory, but if they do it would be in the $5-$10 range.

It's opposite the street that Snowy works down...

Ahhhh found it, Highett metals

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
