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...

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
