As the topic states im curious about engine weight, full block and head weights with or without ancillaries attached. Just to give some idea of actual weight without me having to lift the stuff onto a set of scales.

I know this probably isnt the right section for this either, but ill chuck it in anyway. R32 skylines gtst only, how light have people gotten them down to? Probably thinking more so of race car stuff rather then road cars. But either way it will all help.

Cheers.

Please ignore flyfink. Thats my old man being an old fool!

only 100kg rev210. I would have thought a little more, but then again i spose with manifolds and all maybe 130-140kgs. I really should weigh it all myself...and then everyone else will know.

might be 100-110 or so but, this changes when down at the pub to 200kg :rofl:

bare rebuilt long motor in metal framed box was 160kg, i'll put short motor weight around the 120kg mark as i've sent a rb26 head with out manifolds before and it was 40or so kg.

rb26 gtr gearbox weighs 110kg complete with transfer case.

all up fully assembled with manifolds and gearbox and sump i'm guessing an rb26 comes in around the 330-350kg, make probaly around the 300 even mark for rb25 as the gearbox is only about 70kg. and sump weighs 2kg instead of 15kg(including diff).

I was afraid it would be pushing the 300, cheers...

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
