hey

just wondering if anyone has any information on the weights or weight difference between a 2 door r33 gtst and a 4 door r33 gtst in factory form.

or any other imformation that may be relevant...

thanx in advance

cheers

awesome link cheers.

yeah i would hav thought the sedan would be more then 20kg heavier. :S

also interesting to see a c33 laurel is nearly 100kg heavier and a ca s13 is only 120kg lighter. an rb25 powered s13 would weigh in less then 100kg heavier then a r33 sedan, not much diference at all.

No probs. I think the Skyline was sort of designed from the outset to be a sedan and the coupe is basically the same thing but with 2 less doors! The coupes certainly don't look like a typical coupe shape with a tapered roof and hatch, etc.

The Skyline seems to be a fairly light car for what it is, by today's standards at least. It would probably be 1600kg once you add all of today's luxury/safety features... I think the V35 is 1540kg and that has an aluminium alloy engine, right? If that was cast iron like the RB25, I think it would be up around 1600kg... :D

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • 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.
