u could try hallam tip, ready mix plant at the back, they got a weigh bridge as you drive in, dunno if its free though. theres also one on ordish road in dandy (off greens road). again, dont know if its free.

hm.. i work for the company that works at the tip, im in the clayton area working on the land fill's there,

for an easy access weigh bridge with parking would have to be Clayton Regional Public tip ... on the corner of Ryans road and Clayton road.

there is a speed hump in there but u can go around it, and there is one at the other end but just a small carpark one should be good,

Guys a bit of a prick there (brown nose) but im sure if your rock up with a decent amount of cars and get someone who is a smooth talker to bargin with him, say $5bucks each car into his pocket im sure he wont give a shit :)

If a supra came in @ 1100kg's, then those scales are far from accurate :P

Just got back from a weigh bridge meet.

We went to one in Kilsyth, nice people there, let us negotiate to quickly run 15 cars on.. it only took 10 minutes to do.

I filled up a full tank just outside the weigh bridge so it would be easier to calculate.

Came in at 1600kg (weighbridge rounds to the nearest 20kg). So minus ~55kg for full tank, plus I have the boot stripped out, it seems about right when compared to the spec sheet (1560kg).

These are our results to the closest 20kg:

Daihatsu Sirion GTVi, 100% fuel - 900kg

Honda S2000, ~50% fuel - 1220kg

Honda Beat, ~25% fuel - 760kg

Nissan 350Z, 100% fuel - 1520kg

Nissan Pulsar Gti-R, ? fuel - 1260kg

Nissan Skyline R31, ~50% fuel - 1400kg

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Vspec, 100% fuel - 1600kg

Nissan Skyline V35 350GT, ~50% fuel - 1560kg

Mazda MX5 soft top, ~50% fuel - 980kg

Mazda MX5 hard top, ~50% fuel - 1000kg

Mitsubishi Evo8 MR, ? fuel - 1440kg

Mazda RX7 FD3S, ~10% fuel - 1240kg

Suzuki Ignis, 100% fuel - 920kg

Toyota Celica ZR, 100% fuel - 1160kg

Toyota Soarer almost completely stripped of everything, ~30% fuel - 1420kg

Interesting list I must admit there are a couple of figures I am surprised about. R31 I would have been sure was around 1300kg.

There are a few track soarers that are into the mid 1300kg range which are only interior and sound deading removed and light weight seats. Still with stock glass and panels, they don't weigh anywhere near as much as people make out. They certainly have the capability to be reduced to 1300kg as a dedicated track car.

There is a soarer track only build currently going on and the target is 1100kg. They have plastic windows fiberglass gaurds rear quarters bonnet and boot, I don't think they will make that but I cant wait to find out where they do end up.

    • I sent off a message to a guy, waiting for his response if he can do it or knows someone.
    • Just remake the bracket. It's just bent steel with a nut welded to it. It is thinner material than you might remake it in. You just have to get the thickness right in places where it absolutely must be (and there might not actually be any such places. The same motor trimmer who you get to work on the outside of the seat would no doubt have done exactly this type of repair in the past.
    • Yeah I agree, it's almost impossible to get them out without inflicting some sort of damage to the subframe!  Especially when you get excited with the air chisel like I did!  I'm not fussed, it's a somewhat non-critical component in terms of inhibiting function if there were dags or slight damage to the bore of the bush location.  Once you bolt it back up it never moves.  It's not like a suspension arm that needs to move through a range of motion that damage would actually make a difference to.
    • Update: pulled the passenger bracket off and looks some what universal. the driver bracket is proper cooked and don’t see how I could get it fixed.   my thought process is, buy a cheap passenger seat and swap the bracket over and foams as mine are cooked  
    • Will definitely ask, I’m expecting that I’ll need to sell my left nut
