Hey guys just wondering is this a realy good thing or a really bad thing, i have 6 mates with R33 gtst skylines SII just like mine with sun roofs but their Kgs are all the same and mine is no where near theres, theres say like 1200kg and mine says 1450kg>??? they are the same car in every way but my kg is diffrent, i took it to a weigh in for cars and it is same as theres? did somone change the weight load it up maybe? the only good thing about this i can see is i can drive it on my P plates without going over the power weight ratio

Is this good or bad?

Its a rego sticker, always totally wrong.

And thiers certainly doesnt weigh 1200kg's mate, R33's are a LOT heavier than that :D

And you most certainly CAN NOT drive the car legally on your P's

All R33's are on the prohibited list

just because there is a sticker that says the weight doesn't mean that it is right. it also varies depending on options as well. if you have drivers and passenger airbags then that adds some weight (not a huge amount, but it all adds up).

just do a road trip to a local weigh bridge with your mates and see what they say then.

F'rinstance,my car has a manufacturer's claim of 206 Kw's,unmodified-and I don't believe it for one second....

what is your car? r33's aren't 206kw (unless its a gtr), they are 184kw, and that is flywheel kw, not rear wheel kw. also you are tlaking about a car that is at least 8 years old. cars do lose power with the more k's they get. so unless you have driven a brand new, straight from the factory skyline, you can't say that for sure.

and what are you comparing it against?

Actually,I never said I had an R33:check out my teeny tiny little avatar-my R32 GT-R. And I'm comparing it against my dyno sheets...from when the car was stock standard,which was rather a long time ago,LOL! The next dyno sheets,which will be a way's off,should produce vastly different figures to what the factory originally intended...

An interesting thing sprang up in one of the latest Wheels mag's:any new car MUST be sold with an ADR81 test sticker:fuel consumption to you and me. It's a guide only,and proved to be quite different to the figures produced in the real world. However,Joe Public would be easily suckered into anticipating similar figures when buying said new vehicle...So,as Mulder and Scully once said:trust no one!!!

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
