surely someone has put their GTR on a weigh bridge.

a proper read out.

runnin gcondition, half a tank of gas.

as youd drive it on the road.

I agree with the extra weight.

going from a 225x50x16 to a 245x45x17 will add a bit of weight in tyres alone.

the bigger brakes would also add weight.

I don't think that 20kg is that much of an issue when you consider the benefits of wider track, heaps better brakes etc.

I have. That is why I know what it weighs.

The brake rotors for the Brembos are larger in diameter than the Sumitomos, but thinner. Given a front rotor is only 8kg for a lesser model, I can't see how the would be more than 1kg in it.

With regard to wheels & tyres my 255/40/17's on 9" rims as just over 20kgs. The tyres themselves are heavier than the rims. Again, given the rolling diameter of the set up will be the same I would be gob smacked if there was more than 2kg in it.

The track width on the V spec is no different to the normal Gt-R's.

The Brembos are a poverty pack version & really no superior to the Sumitomo calipers. The only gain is rotor diameter. I don't know why Brembos get exalted like they do, AP make much better calipers.

no its not mate where bouts is the white one?

I just recall a white 32 with 33 engine for sale here in Qld a few months back. Just wondered whether it was the same car you're chasing up.

Either way hope you end up with a top GTR ;)

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
