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....

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
