VII.9 :yes:

The VII is a bit unloved, as the body styling is plain when compared to the VI and VIII.

VII are cheap, why would you bother with a VI with flogged bushes and gearbox.

inb4 Richo buys one for Time Attack

According to Wiki:

R32 GTR - 1,430kg

R33 GTR - 1,550kg

R34 GTR - ?

Evo 6 - 1,260–1,360 kg

Evo 7 - 1,320–1,400 kg

Evo 8 - 1,320–1,410 kg

Evo 9 - 1,310–1,490 kg

Add 18" wheels/tyres, exhausts, bigger brakes (a common GTR upgrade where EVO doesn't) and so on and it can certainly get higher :)

I suspect a R33 is heavier than 1550 to start off with. My GTS-R was 1400kg without me in it as i weighed it, and the GTR feels a LOT heavier than 150kg more. I remember driving Snowys R34 years back and it felt like at least 250-300kgs packed into it as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

Plus half the time the figures are not 100% accurate from a manufacturer as they dont say if its kerb weight (full fluids) or not.

A 6 and a 33R similar weight? No chance .. ive driven both and the 6 feels much lighter, even though the 33 R ha more power.

Maybe a 7 might be nearing the weight of a 33r but I doubt it

Seems about right

I can confirm this for you, my GTR is a 1999 R34, i have coilovers and a exhaust on it with a set of NUR spec NTo3+M rims, and i had to weigh it for blue slip, it came it at 1640KG with a 3/4 tank of fuel.

With next to no fuel,...

Eastern Ck weigh station (if accurate)...

V-Spec N1 = 1528Kg

Tony, nah cos no mention of N1 turbs, PFC and I don't see Brembos from the pics.

Different coilovers and 30,000-ish km has 'disappeared' there's paint fade on the roof that I don't recall seeing when its in my ownership.

Lol Aaron what you smoking brah

Don't think anyone said the 6 and the 33R were similar weight :P

as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

what it sounds like? lol i've read it three times and sounds the same.. maybe my mind is f**ked today

    • You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...
    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
