I have got a 32 but no longer have a licence to drive it. Car will be unregistered for 7 months until I get it back. I have only just purchased it with 120 on the clock.

I want to change the diff's (gts4), gearbox, engine oils and engine coolant before re-registering it. Am I better off waiting until just before I re-register to do all this, can I start now or is it not going to make much difference? The car will be started weekly with a possible sneaky lap around the block.

just get a trickel charger for $30 at auto barn/repco mate, if you have good tyers, Over enflate them so they dont get flat spots,

Dont see a drive around the block doing much as it wouldent even give time for the brakes to heat up let alone anythign other,

turn the ignition for 10 min once a week and you should be fine,

Throw in a fresh batch of oil aswell before storing

    • Ya thankfully I've been able to drive it, it's pretty fun however I noticed yesterday while driving to work that my left side of the car is very wobbly, like any bump I go over it jolts the whole vehicle and pulls the steering wheel, I kicked the wheel a few times once I got home and it's a very distinct metal on metal clunk, so I guess I need to take a look at my suspension, maybe it's a control arm bushing or tie rod 
    • With Tyroola, they're probably 10 years old. It's already pretty clear that they've given the job of copywriting their adverts to an artificial stupidity (which could be a Year 9 dropout, or someone recently arrived to Oz with almost no English).
    • "Here's how it works: Buy a set of four Pirelli tyres." Hey I think these guys are on to something 🤣
    • Absolutely! I've been in love with them since I was a kid. I remember doing a school essay on Humvee's back in grade 5 haha. I always wanted one, but didn't have the space nor the funds. With us now looking for another larger home with a larger garage, I'll have room to park it. They have also gone down considerably in price. The US army has been phasing out Humvee's, so they're flooding the market which also brings down H1 prices.  It shouldn't be a problem to drive around here, I live in the suburbs. I would absolutely not buy one if I lived in a city though. They are known to be terribly unreliable. People often swap out the original 6.2/6.5L for a more reliable Duramax.  H1 and Humvee's are identical, minus the fact that the H1 has a dash and seats. It sadly also makes the H1 more expensive. I've driven both and the Humvee interior, or lack thereof makes it extremely loud and unpleasant to drive. Don't get me wrong, the H1's interior is horrendous, but at least it's present. Most do a custom interior in a Humvee which I'm also more than happy to purchase. 
    • Then I realised it was just a typo. I was hoping for a set of Pirellys for my 5 series.
