hey guys anyone weighed their stageas on a weightbridge by any chance? mine ages ago weighed in at 1800kg exactly with huge stereo and sub boxes etc in it with the rb26 engine/twin turbos/air con etc. weighed in today at 1690kg with the rb26 engine still, no stereo sub boxes and no air con gear, plus the big single turbo instead. oh and also having got the front tailshaft on at the moment.

its got 2 sunroofs and the car was pretty packed with bits and pieces so im thinking under 1650kg is possible with the car spotless inside and complete interior wise. not as bad as i first thought compared to r33 gtr's and 34's. anyone know what they both weigh in at when stock?

anyone else weighed there stageas without sunroofs to compare weights? and also one with 2wd instead to compare?

cheers

Brad, according to Nissan specs, they are supposed to come in between 1620 and 1660kgs, but I'm not sure if this is a dry or wet weight...

Just had a look for weighbridge locations and I have 2 not too far from me, one of which is less than 15mins away, but I very rarely travel around that area (no need to)...

Mine came in at 1620Kgs. It had bugger all fuel but had two Std R33 wheels with tyres and two Soarer wheels and tyres. Someone at Japan Direct likes me. hahaha.

My son traded the wheels for fifteen tyres for his S13 Drifter. This and all the

Auto forums seem to abound with a sense of mutual assistance that is

second tonone.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
