Hey guys ive been wondering why i have been paying more for registration and its because my rego paper say my tare weight is 1530kg which is bullshit!

is there a place besides dickson where i can get my vehicle officially weighed or has anyone been through this before and is there another way i can get it changed.

Cheers

Patrick

Thats a interesting one........

I think the tare weight on the RTA system was either made when the car was first complied on AUS roads or they are basing it from manufactures specs.....

Would be interesting to see if there actually is a way around it, but i can only assume you cant or if you could it wouldn't be a easy process.

Well i just went to a gov approved weight bridge and with a completely full tank, a full size spare and 15kg of fuel it came in at 1450kg. So my actual cwr weight is about 1380kg. So ill be contacting rego to get it changed even if going to dickson. Lower weight bracjet wnds at 1504kg so bevause mine says 1530 im currently paying $140 EXTRA per year.

When I imported my R33 they made me go weigh it myself - I went to the tip at Mugga Way. And yeah it was 1380kg.

Yeah even though i had it weighed at a government approved weigh station. I still have to take it to dickson for a full inspection to get it changed. Im not going through the bull crap again. It is too much time and effort and i work and live south side. Oh well atleast i know how much my skyline weighs now.

I trimmed down your post :ninja:

not nice terry.

We're speaking about shell, not me...

in nsw its possible, but hard.

as they dont want to lose the extra cash.

had a mate do it along time ago.

the reason for the full inspection would be, they see it as that weight, and if its not, it must have been modified.

he ended up getting it done.

nut, they weren't happy.

Rego has my car down as 1418kg, but I found that an R33 4 door is 1390kg and Coupe is 1370kg (manual). 1410kg & 1390kg (auto).

As my car was Auto but converted to manual in Japan, I queried this with them and was told, if I got a Weighbridge Receipt (for $25.ish from the Tip in Mitchell,) then they could change it. (this was at least a year ago.)

But I never did as it would still be in the same pricing bracket anyway.

The other thing is Shannons have my car down as being a HR33 instead of ECR33.

According to them they don't have ECR33 in the Database? :rolleyes:

LOL pretty sure my car's listed as a sedan on my rego papers and my R33 always had GTS with Shannons.... I checked with a mate who works there to make sure they didn't think it's a non-turbo and he was like, nah all good. I wouldn't stress :D

My rego also says silver sedan..

JustCar seem to have it right if I remember correctly.

Bit late to the party, but I found it amusing that when I got my R33 inspected the dude just asked me how much it weighed and I was like "Umm, I believe the kurb weight is supposed to be 1350kg or thereabouts"

"sounds good enough to me"

wut lol

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
