Hey guys just wondering is this a realy good thing or a really bad thing, i have 6 mates with R33 gtst skylines SII just like mine with sun roofs but their Kgs are all the same and mine is no where near theres, theres say like 1200kg and mine says 1450kg>??? they are the same car in every way but my kg is diffrent, i took it to a weigh in for cars and it is same as theres? did somone change the weight load it up maybe? the only good thing about this i can see is i can drive it on my P plates without going over the power weight ratio

Is this good or bad?

Its a rego sticker, always totally wrong.

And thiers certainly doesnt weigh 1200kg's mate, R33's are a LOT heavier than that :D

And you most certainly CAN NOT drive the car legally on your P's

All R33's are on the prohibited list

im not joking they are about 1200 > 1250 >< ill go on a mission and take some photos with my phone, do i have to block out there rego number or doesnt that matter??? heres mine

just because there is a sticker that says the weight doesn't mean that it is right. it also varies depending on options as well. if you have drivers and passenger airbags then that adds some weight (not a huge amount, but it all adds up).

just do a road trip to a local weigh bridge with your mates and see what they say then.

F'rinstance,my car has a manufacturer's claim of 206 Kw's,unmodified-and I don't believe it for one second....

what is your car? r33's aren't 206kw (unless its a gtr), they are 184kw, and that is flywheel kw, not rear wheel kw. also you are tlaking about a car that is at least 8 years old. cars do lose power with the more k's they get. so unless you have driven a brand new, straight from the factory skyline, you can't say that for sure.

and what are you comparing it against?

Actually,I never said I had an R33:check out my teeny tiny little avatar-my R32 GT-R. And I'm comparing it against my dyno sheets...from when the car was stock standard,which was rather a long time ago,LOL! The next dyno sheets,which will be a way's off,should produce vastly different figures to what the factory originally intended...

An interesting thing sprang up in one of the latest Wheels mag's:any new car MUST be sold with an ADR81 test sticker:fuel consumption to you and me. It's a guide only,and proved to be quite different to the figures produced in the real world. However,Joe Public would be easily suckered into anticipating similar figures when buying said new vehicle...So,as Mulder and Scully once said:trust no one!!!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
