Meh - that site says its doom and gloom.

The BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) says isolated showers/storms and 25. That is hardly heavy rain :P

IMO - nothing in it at all. I've been watching the weather closely, doesn't look bad to be honest.

And as you said, this is Melb. Could be raining on Flinders St and sunny down @ Docklands!

Counts as rego in my book - however trying to justify trade plates use probably would mean most owners of them would not bother.

If you're in the auto industry with trade plates it can always be written down as part of a promotion for your business :D

That said, who wants to rent my trade plates for the weekend? :P

Just spent a good few hours washing/waxing my car to the finest touch. Who says you can't make an R33 look good? Mirror shine baby. I want it to rain, that way you can see how much wax I put on lol.

do we need to hang around there the whole day? or can we come drop the car off go bouts our normal busniess and come back?

You are free to do whatever you like for the duration you car is there.

But god help you if you are not back before closing time - it'll end up being towed to the council impound or something :D

I went to a show organised by ET street forum, a guy turned up in a vette with trade plates, asked him if he ever got hasseled and he said he has driven it as a daily for 6 months with them on (screwed on) and never been pulled over.

Well the thing is a cop will be looking for an argument if he wants to bother with trade plates...think you'll find they turn a blind eye to it most of the time. I reported a guy who had been abusing trade plates, police said they'd follow up but 12 months later and he's still driving around with them on his personal weekend car, which is severely unroadworthy. It's only really at night time you'd ever get questioned for it IMO.

well there isn't a skyline coupe class Wayne-o!

And, there never has been :thumbsup:

Gotta draw then line of reasonability of how many classes vs expenditure for trophies etc etc.

Can't have a class for every single possible option, just won't work.

How do you tell if your skyline is a chick or a bloke?

Sorry couldn't resist :3some::D

Depends how temperamental it is... :D

Otherwise you could always look between its two rear wheels.. :rolleyes:

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
