madbung Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 r33 is 1370kg, i'm unsure whether that's the weight of a series 1 with no kit or s2 with airbags, fat ass'd bars ect ect. There's got to be 100kg's difference between the naked s1 and the s2, I cant see where they've saved weight to make up for the all that extra crap.. Arrrgh hand me the harpoon...the s2 has breached Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261466-rb25det-how-quick-and-what-weight/page/2/#findComment-4483621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_GaZZa Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 33's are big heavy whales. This made me laugh.. went it comes from a guy that drives a old skool r31 that weights in the same or heavier then a r33.... Well, I'd back the guys up that says stock/ LIGHTLY MODDED 'boltons' Skyline GTS-T would run low 13's 'driver dependant i must say also'. If you did put a rb25det in ya datto... traction would be the only issue and if you could get a decent amount it'd be pretty impressive in such a smaller/light chassis Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261466-rb25det-how-quick-and-what-weight/page/2/#findComment-4483660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

passin ewe Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 So it seems that in the mid 13's is about what you'd get from a mildly tampered RB25DET. That's not so bad. My current motor is L28 out of 280z and they are heavy. If anyone should hear of a decent motor and accessories as in a full front and manual box, cut I'd be happy to hear about it. Enclosed is pic of my motor at present. So a R33 weighs 1370 or 1490kg ?

kleicl Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yea it all comes down to tires and driver.. example.. me doing (14.2 * 14.6 * 14.3) when i got the car with tirese as is then i put new tires on and i got (13.6 * 13.9 * 14.1) but that was stock with a full xorst now with piggy back and boost and fmic, pod, 040 fuel im doing 12.9 as my best with 239rwkw about 315hp and all with a sound systerm too in the boot so is actuly gives me better traction with the weight.. id like to think so Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261466-rb25det-how-quick-and-what-weight/page/2/#findComment-4483706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a R33 weighs 1370 or 1490kg ? rb25's are quite hefty too, i'm not sure on exact figures, but they are a cast iron block. also the 25 box is quite large, so you may have clearance issues with the transmission tunnel? my 31 came from factory with a 20det, and now has a 25det + 25 box, and it required a little bit of massaging to fit in the tunnel (and its still a tight fit) what box does your car have?

R32 Driver Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i've had a 33 before dude, i know what they are likemy 31 might weigh 1440kg, but 33's are still whale's. 33s are nothing compared to Supras they feel heavier, less nimble, clumsy they should be the whale, 33 are dolphins in comparison Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261466-rb25det-how-quick-and-what-weight/page/2/#findComment-4483880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think the confusion in weight comes from the dry weight versus the wet weight. 1390kgs is the dry weight, no fluids. Fill the tank, oil, radiator etc and it get's you to the 1470kg mark. A good tip when drag racing is not to fill the tank, even the extra 40-50kgs, spare tyre etc can make a difference to the ET.

Yeah lol Paul R33's are 1370kg, some variations in the different series and cars that came with A-LSD and that. But this guy wants to know the weight of the engine not the actual car....
