r33 is 1370kg, i'm unsure whether that's the weight of a series 1 with no kit or s2 with airbags, fat ass'd bars ect ect.

There's got to be 100kg's difference between the naked s1 and the s2, I cant see where they've saved weight to make up for the all that extra crap..

Arrrgh hand me the harpoon...the s2 has breached :pirate:

33's are big heavy whales. :pirate:

This made me laugh.. went it comes from a guy that drives a old skool r31 that weights in the same or heavier then a r33....

Well, I'd back the guys up that says stock/ LIGHTLY MODDED 'boltons' Skyline GTS-T would run low 13's 'driver dependant i must say also'.

If you did put a rb25det in ya datto... traction would be the only issue and if you could get a decent amount it'd be pretty impressive in such

a smaller/light chassis

i've had a 33 before dude, i know what they are like

my 31 might weigh 1440kg, but 33's are still whale's. :pirate:

So it seems that in the mid 13's is about what you'd get from a mildly tampered RB25DET. That's not so bad. My current motor is L28 out of 280z and they are heavy. If anyone should hear of a decent motor and accessories as in a full front and manual box, cut I'd be happy to hear about it. Enclosed is pic of my motor at present. So a R33 weighs 1370 or 1490kg ? post-44326-1237294305_thumb.jpg

Yea it all comes down to tires and driver..

example.. me doing (14.2 * 14.6 * 14.3) when i got the car with tirese as is then i put new tires on and i got (13.6 * 13.9 * 14.1) but that was stock with a full xorst now with piggy back and boost and fmic, pod, 040 fuel im doing 12.9 as my best with 239rwkw about 315hp and all with a sound systerm too in the boot so is actuly gives me better traction with the weight.. id like to think so

rb25's are quite hefty too, i'm not sure on exact figures, but they are a cast iron block.

also the 25 box is quite large, so you may have clearance issues with the transmission tunnel?

my 31 came from factory with a 20det, and now has a 25det + 25 box, and it required a little bit of massaging to fit in the tunnel (and its still a tight fit)

what box does your car have?

33s are nothing compared to Supras

they feel heavier, less nimble, clumsy

they should be the whale, 33 are dolphins in comparison

I think the confusion in weight comes from the dry weight versus the wet weight. 1390kgs is the dry weight, no fluids. Fill the tank, oil, radiator etc and it get's you to the 1470kg mark. A good tip when drag racing is not to fill the tank, even the extra 40-50kgs, spare tyre etc can make a difference to the ET.

Yeah lol Paul :D

R33's are 1370kg, some variations in the different series and cars that came with A-LSD and that. But this guy wants to know the weight of the engine not the actual car....

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
