Hey guys

Just trying to work something out, After compliance you get the report for your car, mine is weighing in at 1560KG's. it sux cause you go into the next bracket and have to pay $352.00 rego a year.

I was just wondering what everyone elses weight is? seems a little heavy for the lightest of the GTR's,

any help would be appreciated

mark :)

$353 a year rego, youar a lucky lucky man here in ACT my GTR rego is $710 a year so be happy!!!!

Anyway back on point my GTR was 1460kg before i started any weight reduction measures, if i where you i would strip things out of my car take it to a weigh station get a print out and take it to rego.

in that comparrison then yeah, but back to the topic

1460 eh? what the heck, did they sit a truck driver in my car while it was on there!

so if I take tools and jack and stuff out of theboot, drive it down there with almost no fuel then that shuld be ok?

the next bracket down is only like 265 which is why I was annoyed.

cheers

I've got gram lights so I would have thought that would have made a difference

but the guy said bring it down and he'll do the weigh bridge report again, $15. its 2 mins around the corner from my house. so I'm going on saturday.

I'm gonna take all the floor mats, everything from the boot out and take it down again. there is no way it can be that heavy, should only be 1510 like your cars, hopefully its 1504 or less that way I can be in the next bracket down for reg

I'll drive it down there with the light on, servo is 200m down the rd, I don't have much of a stereo in mine by the way

cheers guys, mark

99 R32 gtr tare weight is 1430 kgs ( all fluids but no petrol in it )

93 mod =1480kg

93 v-spec +94 v-spec II =1500 kg

R33 gtr =1530 kg

R33 v-spec =1540 kg

R34 gtr =1540 kg

R34 v-spec =1560 kg

R34 m-spec=1580 kg

It depends on who did the compliance as to how much weight is on the rego paper .

I have a R34 gtr m-spec and its under 1500 kg ( i made sure of that at the time of rego )

I had a 33gtr that was under 1500 kg as well .

If you want you can get a weighbridge ticket and go back to the rta i'm sure you can get it under 1500 even if you have a v-spec II .

I have been through this with my R33. You have to get an adjustment of vehicle records from a mechanic that does BLUE slips. THis costs $22. I was able to show the mechanic the specification sheet from a workshop manual. My R33 sedan was previoulsly put in at 1570kgs tare weight!

The heviest sedan in the spec sheet was 1410kg so he put it down as that. If he hadn't have accepted the spec sheet you have to go to an authorised RTA weighbridge. This costs about $23-$27.

The mechanic I went to was in the hills area. Hills motorsport gave me his name. I think Milan or something, he was a good guy

Then you take the adjustment of vehicle records to the RTA and they cahange it. I did this just before I regod the car. Saved me about 100 per year

R32 gtr's can and they all should be under 1500 kgs on the rego .

R33's and r34's are all heavier than 1500 but can be registered under 1500 kgs , i can't say in this forum how but if anyone wants to know give me a p.m.

Like benl 1981 said it saves you about $100 every year !!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
