Well the car at the shop said these arent recomened for tying your car down he said you need to find specific ones used for trailers or over the wheel ratchet straps but cant find any shops that sell stuff like that

truck shops have the good ones...what area u in theres heaps of truck shops in dandy that sell them

Bunnings have some but there expensive and not as good..but they will do the job

personally id be getting something rated at least 2500kg would be perfect

that said i have tied cars down with rope before..

go supercheap auto? they sell straps, i use them to tie down the car on the tandem trailors... they work like a charm, $40 or so for good ones and shitty ones for like 25 or so..

Do not use crappy 1in straps. its the lashing rating that needs to be high. and you want to use 1 per corner.

You run up the back of something you dont want the car on top of you.

Its amazing what some people strap their cars down with...

I bought some from Bunnings. Not sure if i got the correct ones, just some high load ones.

Attached them onto each wheel pulling car forward and back.. Heard this is the best way as the suspension still sways but wheels wont move anywhere?

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
