My r33 gtst is the first car i bought myself. My problem is christmass and new years are expensive times. I shouldnt have bought a car on the 14th of january 2008. because on the 14th of january 2009 insurance, pink, green slip, rego all has to be paid right after the hollidays lol.

just some advice to somebody who is wanting to buy a car at this time of year, DONT!!!

Yep I will vouch for that. My daily driver rego runs out on the 19th of Jan.. But we dont get any extra time to do the whole thing. I got my rego renewal the day before Christmas ( thanx santa-Fat C#nt ! ) and most places are shut until early jan. So now I gotta rush around like a maniac chasing down Pink slip etc....Pain in the Ass....And what the hell is it with the prices of Greenslips these days?Bastards just dont know how to go easy on the public

Did you buy in with no rego and register it on the 14th of January last year?

Trying to follow the fact you bought a car the same day rego was due?

It sounds like a pain in ass to register a car in NSW...

In the ACT we just pay one lump sum every year that includes rego and CTP and we dont have compulsary inspections either, once the car has passed its first inspection as long as you dont get defected and you dont let the rego run out for more than 12 months you dont ever have to have it inspected again.

I guess we have a pretty good deal going down here :P

Yes... my cousin drove around in a Subaru DL wagon, and the only reason why it was deemed "roadworthy" was because of that rule. I tell you now, having a manual switch to turn on and off the reverse lights because the signal from the gearbox doesn't work is really good for scaring people at traffic lights :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
