english.auto.vl.ru says that the Series 1 is 1620 and Series 2 is 1650

All the weights are in the workshop manuals, if I can be bothered I'll take screen shots and post them today.

My S2 is 1658kg (kerb weight) so thats fairly accurate. I'd guess the extra weight could be attributed to tiptronic auto, bigger cooler, bigger turbo housing, bigger brakes, possibly more panel on the front?? and just small bits and pieces all round...

I'd also be interested in lightening the stagea but have concluded that everything is pretty much needed, either for legal or for comfort reasons.

The advantage of a lighter stagea for me would be primarily fuel economy but the added performance would be welcome. :D

Just bringing this back up again..

Where is the weight in Stageas? I know someone said the rear tailgate is pretty damn heavy. Is it just a heavy chassis? Or are there actually panels that could be replaced to make it considerably lighter? Would a FRP/carbon bonnet same much weight or just be a negligible saving?

im hoping ot remove almost 200 LBS from the rear of the car to help keep it sideways

might take some from the front as well

Im still debating as i might try and sell it again after this 2 day drift event

mmm me thinks if i wanna car to race im better of goin a skyline maybee after all kids its a WAGON WE GOT lol

at the end of the day you could race a silvia which would be lighter than a skyline

some people choose specific cars for a reason....

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
