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

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....

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
