I Hit The Weighbridge Today

[rb26stagea]

Not sure what the book says, but bear in mind, I have an RB26, BIG fmic(heavy), Leather interior (heavy), HUGE brakes (very heavy), manual (light), and no sunroofs (light), so I had no idea what to expect. I weighed the car as I drive it: a small amount of odds and ends in it, spare on board, cargo mat, full tank, etc, and it came up at 1700kg neat (to the nearest 10kg). Unfortunately I could only talk the lady into an overall weight for no money down, so I'll go back with cash at a later date and get the front:rear weights as well.

This may or may not be news, but I found it interesting is all...

fatty :laughing-smiley-014:

hehe thats the same as the autech yeh? that shud explain it

[PhilTacular]

Yeah, they're not light.

I took some junk to the tip (or Waste Management Centre, as they call them now) and on the way out it weighed 1735kg. That was with myself (about 65kg) and 1/3 tank of juice. Which I guess would take it down to about 1650kg tare.

But hey, XR6 Turbos are like 1800kg, so not so bad really.

[rb26stagea]

I was always under the impression that they weighed 1800kg or so.... I was quite happily surprised

[pixel8r]

It would be over 1800kg with a couple of people in it.

But normally its kerb weight thats listed in car specs, which is 1658kg for my S2 RS4. Not sure what it is for the autech.

Stageas are not heavy compared to SUV's and are fairly similar in weight to other wagons of the same size.

The one on Powers Rd in Seven Hills, Phil? I live right near that. Lucky for me we never smell anything.

My rego papers list my car as 1658kgs.

Remember how heavy your brakes would be too Micah...

Yep, and I've got one of each. The XR6T has more mid range torque and beautiful suspension and ride quality, but I enjoy the extra spread of revs, the practicality and the "WTF is that" reaction that the Stagea provides.

Same here.I have a XR6T ute and i weighed it at 1900kg with me in it.My mates XR6T sedan weighed in at 1870kg with him in it as well.Lucky we have 300+rwkw to get them moving

My M35 250 t rs four was 1710 with roughly half a tank of gas and some odds and sods in the back. Weighed it at a police weighbridge so would expect calibrations to be accurate.

Interestingly the R32 VW Golf is only a hundy or so kilos lighter.

Even though many write them off as a land barge when you compare them to the competition (instead of S13's and Skylines which isn't a fair comparision) they do come in under or close to most others out there (mind you I woldn't have expected a XR6T ute to weigh 1800)

Heavier chassis so they can carry a ton(not like a holden ute) and leaf spring rear end with solid diff housing.
