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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
