VII.9 :yes:

The VII is a bit unloved, as the body styling is plain when compared to the VI and VIII.

VII are cheap, why would you bother with a VI with flogged bushes and gearbox.

inb4 Richo buys one for Time Attack

According to Wiki:

R32 GTR - 1,430kg

R33 GTR - 1,550kg

R34 GTR - ?

Evo 6 - 1,260–1,360 kg

Evo 7 - 1,320–1,400 kg

Evo 8 - 1,320–1,410 kg

Evo 9 - 1,310–1,490 kg

Add 18" wheels/tyres, exhausts, bigger brakes (a common GTR upgrade where EVO doesn't) and so on and it can certainly get higher :)

I suspect a R33 is heavier than 1550 to start off with. My GTS-R was 1400kg without me in it as i weighed it, and the GTR feels a LOT heavier than 150kg more. I remember driving Snowys R34 years back and it felt like at least 250-300kgs packed into it as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

Plus half the time the figures are not 100% accurate from a manufacturer as they dont say if its kerb weight (full fluids) or not.

A 6 and a 33R similar weight? No chance .. ive driven both and the 6 feels much lighter, even though the 33 R ha more power.

Maybe a 7 might be nearing the weight of a 33r but I doubt it

Seems about right

I can confirm this for you, my GTR is a 1999 R34, i have coilovers and a exhaust on it with a set of NUR spec NTo3+M rims, and i had to weigh it for blue slip, it came it at 1640KG with a 3/4 tank of fuel.

With next to no fuel,...

Eastern Ck weigh station (if accurate)...

V-Spec N1 = 1528Kg

Tony, nah cos no mention of N1 turbs, PFC and I don't see Brembos from the pics.

Different coilovers and 30,000-ish km has 'disappeared' there's paint fade on the roof that I don't recall seeing when its in my ownership.

Lol Aaron what you smoking brah

Don't think anyone said the 6 and the 33R were similar weight :P

as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

what it sounds like? lol i've read it three times and sounds the same.. maybe my mind is f**ked today

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
