I am going to see if they are open tomorrow to weigh mine again after work. Do you know if they are open on sundays?
Keith yours is nearly 200kg lighter thats a big difference from what the jap specs say and what mine weighed, have you checked that all your car is there? :)
They must be losing money if their scales are that far out.

Ok! I've just been down to weigh it again! This time it was quiet in the yard and I could chat to the guy in the weighbridge while the scales blinked between 1160+/-20kg!! (musta used a bit of fuel!)

Either its a carbon bonnet and a 1200cc engine, or something is odd with the scales... :huh:

maybe you can try yours Samuel, its only 5minutes away.

I will try to take it down next week

Will post results

What you mean you guys don't have to pedal your cars around... You've got engines... :lol:

I suppose they weigh trucks in, load them then weigh them out, so they are always looking at the difference in weight. So maybe the scales don't go to zero with nothing on. Baffles me!

I don't expect them to do Sundays, but their phone number is 273 9131 and they're in Cryers Rd.

I might try the East Tamaki Transfer Station in Neales Rd. They have a weighbridge but the gateman is a well-known little Hitler!

Hey Hoon, when you finish work on Sunday, catch up on 025 965 177 and I'll tell you if either are open. We can meet down there.

Will hopefully finish around 1pm but i could sneak away at any time to meet you there.
I will call you tomorrow around 11am.

Aaron.

Transfer Station is open 9am-3pm on Sundays, so give me a call when you finish work and I'll meet you there.

Anyone else want to try the wrath of the Hitler who runs the place.... :o

[greeneyes]

Well, we met at the Transfer Station and the man on the gate was fine! He weighed Greeneyes at 1340kg and the Hoon at 1360kg. Aaron said he had more than a half-tank of gas and some stuff in the boot. So if Matt can take his IS300 down to the Transfer Station, and someone take an AS200 Altezza we can get them all. :)

Good to meet you today Keith,
Yeah, I had just under a full tank of gas and probably about a 6 kg toolbox in the boot.
The jap specs i have are:
RS200 6m/t=1350kg 5a/t=1340
RS200Z 6m/t=1370 5a/t=1370
RS200L 6m/t=1390 5a/t=1400

AS200 6m/t=1310 5a/t=1320
As200z 6m/t=1340 5a/t=1340
as200l 6m/t=1370 5a/t=1360
Then they are heavier again with other options such as sun roof etc from what i can translate from japanesse
