As title. For example, the R32 GTR would be weighing in at 1500kg where as the R32 GTS-T would be around the 1300kg mark. What exactly makes it heavier? If it is the AWD system, if you took it out would you get roughly the same weight minus the engine differences?

AWD system approx 150kg.

Plus extra turbo, bigger engine bits, larger intercooler, bigger brakes.

There's the extra....

Aluminum front guards and bonnet are a minor weight saving.

As others have said it's the 4WD and extra turbo/engine bits that bring the weight up.

Why would you want to remove the 4WD setup? you'd be better/cheaper off getting a 32GTSt and putting a 26 in it.

+1, and pump the guards to fit some wide wheels!

To remove some weight, take out the Hicas steering, solenoids, rack, lines etc.

Titanium exhaust, lexan windows, carbon doors, boot, bonnet, sound deadening, carpet, aircon etc.

So what i'm also picking up from the responses are that the RB26DETT is only ~40kg heavier than the RB20DET? lol (50kg minus 10kg to not include bigger brakes and intercooler)

I'd be surprised if the RB26 weighted that much more than a 25.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
