Good Or Very Bad!?

[Woody1]

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

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

All R33's are on the prohibited list

Weight of R33's is ~1350kg.. + driver.. + fuel..

Go take some rubish to a weigh bridge and get them to weigh it for you.. I think your 6 mates are joking if they think their cars are all ~1200kg..

My car weighed 1380kg on a weigh bridge with just under 1/2 a tank of fuel.

cheers

except for turbo'ed 33's or did they just ban all 33's because its hard to discern whether its turbo or not ?

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

Theres one all add them as i see them gotta love my Plates DRIFT-8 and for all those people yes i know its not a V8!!!! it came of my dads XY GTHO Phase 3

Ignore the decal:weight it,and watch 'em turn red in the face...

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?

The thread has already been answered

Rego Stickers = totally inaccurate and wrong most of the time

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!!!

ha ha its totoally BS as said..

when i was looking at cars 3-4yrs ago, i came across a soarer that said 750kgs on the rego sticker! and the owner was trying to convince me that it was true! ha ha.. moron...
