Hey guys,

I've tried searching on this but all I can find are copy pastes from Wikipedia. Has anyone actually weighed their BNR34 before? I've found varying information online. Wikipedia says 1540/1560KG curb weight for GTR/Vspec respectively, however FastestLaps says 1666KG curb weight.

Just interested to see if anyone has actually weighed theirs, and what it comes out to. As this is curb weight it obviously includes a full tank of fuel / oils etc. Everything except the driver.

If this information is somewhere that I've missed, and I just really really really suck at searching please point me in the right direction and lock this thread!

P.s. hope you all had fun at SAU Nats, looked like a great weekend!

Where does this 'drastic' weight gain come from? Brakes are typically supposed to save weight... bigger turbos and more fuel pumps would add a bit etc. but I wouldn't have thought this much? or is the factory specified 1540/1560 under-estimating it, like their factory '205KW'

Both of the cars i have in mind have sequential boxes... they add a fair bit of weight... add exhausts, turbos, pumps, bigger coolers... all adds up

My 33 GTR came in at 1600kg on WSID weight. This with about half a tank of fuel.

A friends 32 GTR came in at around 1480kg

I would have a standardish 34 would be around 1650ish

What Sean said is correct.

My VS2 weighed about the same.

Even the N1 is a heavyweight compared to DOOF's Lotus.

Weighed at EC and then subtracted fuel. No driver. No spare wheel n sh!t

1499Kg

...but would be less with 9.5" LMGT4s instead of 10.5"

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
