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:

Tezza!

Maybe 2 of me, carrying a rim! haha

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

    • The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p
    • Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.
    • Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from
    • Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
