Ive generally used the specified weight to determine what a car weighs, but i was wondering if there is somewhere you can actually get your car weighed properly?

First that comes to mind is just going to a council dump where you drive up onto the weigh bridge :wassup: then just subtract your weight from the cars

Considering this is like $10 ide say it would be the cheapest, and im fairly sure its accurate to 1 KG

Most accurate way would be too take it to a susp place as they have coner weight scales to measure the weight under each individual wheel (All 4 are measures at once though)

Weigh bridges are calibrated in 15kg / 20 / 25 / 50 kg increments...whatever it is they arent accurate if you want to know plus/minus 5kg

When i rego'ed my car in NSW i just took it to a chicken farm and had it weighed there and the RTA was ok with that. It put me in a lower rego bracket than that stated by the RTA too.

The 33 came in at 1350 and cost 2 VB tallies to weigh.

-rb25

was that with you in the car?

I think r33 are a little lighter than people think. Should be able to get it down to a flat 1300kg with a few basic removals (spare, back seat,sub, etc). Most actual readings i have seen have not been up around 1400kg as people make out.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
