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?

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
