Hey guys,

I've tried searching on this but all I can find are copy pastes from Wikipedia. Has anyone actually weighed their BNR34 before? I've found varying information online. Wikipedia says 1540/1560KG curb weight for GTR/Vspec respectively, however FastestLaps says 1666KG curb weight.

Just interested to see if anyone has actually weighed theirs, and what it comes out to. As this is curb weight it obviously includes a full tank of fuel / oils etc. Everything except the driver.

If this information is somewhere that I've missed, and I just really really really suck at searching please point me in the right direction and lock this thread!

P.s. hope you all had fun at SAU Nats, looked like a great weekend!

Where does this 'drastic' weight gain come from? Brakes are typically supposed to save weight... bigger turbos and more fuel pumps would add a bit etc. but I wouldn't have thought this much? or is the factory specified 1540/1560 under-estimating it, like their factory '205KW'

Both of the cars i have in mind have sequential boxes... they add a fair bit of weight... add exhausts, turbos, pumps, bigger coolers... all adds up

My 33 GTR came in at 1600kg on WSID weight. This with about half a tank of fuel.

A friends 32 GTR came in at around 1480kg

I would have a standardish 34 would be around 1650ish

What Sean said is correct.

My VS2 weighed about the same.

Even the N1 is a heavyweight compared to DOOF's Lotus.

Weighed at EC and then subtracted fuel. No driver. No spare wheel n sh!t

1499Kg

...but would be less with 9.5" LMGT4s instead of 10.5"

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      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.

      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
