r32 gts-t power to weight

[driftN]

Can ne1 tell me how much a manual r32 gts-t weighs and if u can be bothered the power to weight ratio. Thanx

[HSVKLR]

As far as i know

1290kgs and 158-162kw (thats the range ive heard)

1290/160 = 8.0kg/kw

or 166hp/tonne

[akeenan]

it is legal to drive on your ps if thats why you want to know

[nitemare5]

It depends which state, in victoria the power to weight ratio maximum for a P-Plater is 125kw per tonne last time i checked. The r32 power to weight ratio is 124kw per tonne (from the figures from HSVKLR) which would make that legal in victoria. However i believe in some states like NSW there is no power to weight ratio etc.

yeah if your worried about the P plate issue dont, i went to vic roads to check it and they said it was fine. also when i was pulled over one the copper asked me where my second turbo was i said "officer its a gtst single turbo" he replied by saying " thats fine then if you had a second turbo there would off been an issue" and he let me off well he did give a canary for my air filter but hey thats standard these days when u get pulled over buy the police in vic

Im on my P's and own a 32 GTST...in vic

I rang up vicroads head office in melb...and they didnt know what a R32 GTST was let alone if its p plate legal or not.

I find that if you dont do anything wrong then they dont seem to care...its only when u attract attention that the cops start to get curious

[RBN1]

it'll cost u around $2600 from Justcar.

Remember that only the older r32 GTS-T's were 1260. Later on the weight rose to 1340kg (or thereabouts)

[driftN]

Awesome!! That is why I wanted to know so thanx guys.

[driftN]

Just 1 more question! For those of u guys who r driving r32 gts-t on your p's in Vic who are u insured by and how much r u paying?? Im assuming uve all got full comp?? Thanx again.

[Hawker180]

Insurence is a whole other matter...

The question is more like..."who will insure me?" rather than "how much"

Just cars will insure you...but expect big numbers!!!

If u r 18 expect the $5,000 figure...and thats only if u can find someone who is willing to insure u

There is always 3rd party...but thats a big risk...as u all know thats about $300ish

...If u do find a company that is cheap...let me know...hehe...but i dont think they exist

As soon as they hear the words "Turbo, Import and 2 door" they tend to turn the other way...as well as the whole P Plate thing

All i can say is...GOOD LUCK!

[Risto]

yeah i was qouted about the 5000 mark for full insurance from just cars, but now im paying $670 fire n theft a year what can i say

Yes but by that time they were called R33's.

Interesting... It seems my R33 GTS-t @1360kg isn't as much of a whale as I thought then

i have a r32 gts-t just went out and checked the plates and shit, but i couldnt spot a weight

[JimX]

The weight of these cars isn't in the manual or anything, the way you find them is by looking it up on the net Which is why there are so many arguments about them, because there are a lot of variations from different sources.

I put a lot of value on the Motortraders Network database though, simply because they have a shitload of cars plus a lot of detail on factory options and even colours. Most other sites have a couple of one-off statistics about 1 or 2 cars which in my opinion doesn't make them as reliable.

where can u get ure car weighed

[Cyric]

find a public weighbrigde... or go to your local waste transfer station (tip) where they weight you on the way in and on the way out to figure out how much crap you offloaded... just ask em nicely, im sure they wont mind taking 3 seconds out of their *busy* day to help a brother out

[RBN1]

yep i plan to get my car weighed very soon so I can test out a Gtech Pro that a friend at work has.
