im honestly not sure if they do or not.

Ive only ever used it to get an idea of what the car weighs.

I have the results from my old corner weight setting somewhere, might check it to see if the more recent weigh bridge was acurateish or not.

Obviously proper scales are always going to be more acurate.

Tacker how did you weigh yours??

jesus you've done well tacker and brad, ours is 1550 two up full of fuel :)

Our new car has done most of the stuff you mentioned so hopefully we will get down to about the same. if no rules rear parcel shelf and most of the boot floor is heavy as well as the tank. lots of weight in the doors and windows, hicas and abs. exhaust can be really heavy too.

1550! Mines definitly no where near that.

It does have the cage in it now though which could have added 50-60kg back into it.

duncan you have two seats as well dont you?? Ive only got one seat fixed to the floor.

Agree about the exhaust, mine was weighed with a side pipe and no mufflers. There can be 30Kgs in an exhaust if its got decent mufflers and mild steel.

two of everything certainly does not help.

Mine was last done with 50 litres and no driver. I only weigh 65Kgs so nothing drastic added really.

Are you going to part the wiring looms and strip all the unused wires out duncan?? I found its very worth while doing.

From memory I filled 3/4 of a garbage bin with wire and tape that was no longer being used. I have a photo of it all somewhere.

I ended up running a length of 7 core trailer wire to the back of the car to run the lights and then just the basics to opperate the ATTESSA. It literally halved the wiring to the back of the car. Also under the dash there is the massive loom that runs to the NS of the car. You can pretty much cut the whole thing off and run 10 wires to the ECU side of the car.

The loom that runs to the front of the car. I got rid of it and rewired the lights and nothing else. Again a length of 7 core did the job and more than halved the loom size easily.

Weighed my 32 at WSID.

Half a tank of fuel, 16's, everything in car like jack, spare tyre, full interior, stereo, front, rear strut braces etc,

1530KG without me.

Only pulled out rear Hicas rack and lines etc up to bellhousing area.

I did mine on a set of long acre corner scales maybe they were wrong i am not sure. it was done after our qualifying session and my mates EVO 7 came in at 1365kg

Side pipe is done but i done understand Russ how your car is heavier than mine scales must be wrong here i think.

gee... i dont know how come ours is so heavy?

our car still weigh's 1380!

carbon boot

carbon doors

carbon airfilter box

no dash cluster

carbon panel and stack dash

one seat

no air conditioning

no abs

no hicas or pumps

nothing behind the dash

lexan door windows

no interior at all

some internal panels cut out

all bumper reinforcement gone

no rear wiper or motoboot and bonnet cathes gone

all boot hinge mechanism gone

most brackets gone

not sure how i could lose another 100 kilo, let alone 150!! :banana:

Our GTR's are ~1280 kgs (no driver, minimum fuel), some things I don't see on your list, keeping in mind that we run full glass and standard panels;

Carbon fibre tailshaft = 8 kgs

Titanium exhaust = 23 ks

Wheels (17 x 9) and tyres (245/40/17) = 16 kgs

1989 & 1990 models are 35 kgs lighter than 1991 to 1994 models

One coat of paint, no undercoat = 5 kgs

Chrome molly cage = 18 kgs

Holinger gearbox = 14 kgs

Fabricated transfer case = 9 kgs

Poly bushes (no steel cases) = 3 kgs

Alloy flywheel & carbon clutch = 4 kgs

Alloy pedals = 2 kgs

Sound deadening = 12 kgs

Minimum wiring harness = 19 kgs

Plus about 50 or 60 items that weigh less than 400 grams each, but it all adds up

Cheers

Gary

sorry yeah i didnt put in a few other things

but yeah we have

carbon tailshaft,

4 foot side pipe

titon billet alloy pedals

no sound deadening

all alloy intake

we have added back very large brakes,10.5 inch rims & 285 rubber and full dry sump setup(prob 20 kilo)

&

we do run a clutch that would weigh atleast 10 kilo though.

im going to weigh mine again tommorrow to see what its at now with the cage done.

Besides pannels there is really nothing else that can come out of the car.

Tacker its well worth the effort to strip the looms. If you can take them right out and only run the wiring that you need to. Makes it easy when you start with a bare shell but can be done either way.

Grumble angry muttering

Wish i had not started this thread now!

Being an electrical engineer i hate wires and now you guys have told me i can get another 19 KGs out of the old shite heap if i cut most of it out.

More louder angry muttering

Not sure how u'd drop 19kg when I weighed my entire harness earlier at 15.5kg. I'm sure you could drop an easy 5kg from just cutting wires off you don't need, maybe 10kg if you did custom wiring from scratch.

Also, I have a 100% bare interior + engine bay shell with all removed parts sitting in the garage so if anybody needs something weighed...

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
