Hi guys, i have been reading some infos and have come across different weights to the r34gtr. From 1540kgs , to 1660 kgs. Does anyone know which is the real weight on that car? In addition, the carbon fibre bonnet on the vspec2, how much weight savings does that take off ?

So if lets say a normal vspec is 1560kgs, a vspec2 would probably be 20kg's lighter?

Thanks

Carbon bonnet is like 3kg lighter. Don't forget the GTR bonnet is already aluminium and weighs very little.

Thanks for the input guys, i forgot that the GTR bonnet is already aluminium. If its carbon vs the normal gtst bonnet that maybe its 20kg lighter. I didnt say its from a highly credible website, just from reading different sites that i have come across. Just giving rough bracket of measure that I have come across

1540kg , taken from the Nissan owners manual ( its in Japanese) , this will be for the base series II model , add a little more for V-spec II , NUR and a bit more again for M-spec. Serries I cars maybe a couple of kilos less.

may i ask why we need to add a little bit more for the vspecII? Doesnt the cf bonnet actually reduces more weight?

Like sewid pointed out the weight diff in the bonnet is very minor on the other hand the V-spec, V-spec II and M-spec have extra front lower lip , rear c/f defuser and a few other things that will add about 20 kg on the the top of the standard GTR, add a few more things on the M-spec + bigger battery that will add another 15 kg .

Yep. The V-Spec's weigh a bit more because of extra bits. That rear diffuser might be carbon but it still weighs a fair whack especially when you include the large number of steel brackets and big bolts needed to keep it on the car.

Correct

M Spec..correct

A lot of these sites are not correct as is the case with the above on the M-spec . It says leather trim was option on the M-spec, leather trim was standard on all M-specs.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
