Hey forum how are you guys? Your expert advice are needed by me again. Here is my dilemna I need the weight of my car to put into a g-tech pro in order for it to work, I weighed my car at a weigh station and the person told me it weighed 3200 pounds I find that hard to believe as when I check this forum I get the standard curb weight as 3064 now add me at 240 pounds 3.5 inch ss exhaust upgrade, front mount intercooler, and then all the extras like hid ballast, extra gauges, ss turbo manifold, and a full tank of gas I would say the car to be closer to 3500 pounds. Can anyone tell me if I my guess is correct and that weigh station is just bogus or are my calculations that off.

R33 gtst is supposed to be 1370kg for manual and 1390kg for auto.

3200lbs = 1454kg

you wighed the car with you in it?

240lbs - what a unit!

LOL :P

lol 240lbs that what i was thinkin, pretty big guy?

i would think the weigh station would have been most correct also

Lol Lol yea I am pretty big but not Fat!!!! :P Drag over here is pretty primitive have a nice smooth track and all but no timing mechanism so getting a time would be near to impossible thats why i bought the g-tech. Yea but thats what I am saying 1370 kg is 3020 pounds and thats stock now with me in the car an extra 110kg (240 pounds) plus a full tank of gas say basically 20 gallons that should be like another 68 kg(150 pounds) and the weight of the stainless steel 3.5 inch exhaust 9kg (20 pounds) and the intercooler 2 kg(5 pounds) plus the little upgrades like hid lights,boost controller, extra gauges adding to about say about another 9kg(20 pounds) pounds in total. By my calculations thats 1567kg (basically 3500 pounds) or is the curb weight inclusive of people and gas?

on the rego it says 1360 kg tare weight. For r33gtst.

but when it was weighed 2 years ago, for engineers cert @ richard grdusiac's @ penrith, at a public weigh station in minto, after i had a full bodykit and fiberglass bonnet put on. It came to 1440kg. I was dumbstruck? what i was looking at on rego and what i had after the weigh in were worlds apart.

What are some of your other mods that would contribute to the weight gain like stainless steel exhaust and fmic. So Basically what you are saying is that my calculations are probably correct and the car is closer to 3500 pounds than 3200 pounds with me in it and a full tank of gas?

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
