Err, I think ~1390kg is the 'dry' weight - ie with no fuel, people etc on board, this is the value normally quoted by the manufacturer ('cus it's the lowest!).

1580 is probably the average loaded weight which is the value the roading people use as not many cars travel round with no fuel and driver!

Hmm. My corolla has 990kg (86 model) on the paper which I don't know what it includes...

Mines a 93,

I thought these cars were lighter than a commodore which is around 1580...

I'll have to find out what that measurement is - I dont thinkthey include people in the rego one.

Thanks for the reply 51Jay - Is that wahat is on your rego papers? Bit heavier than I would have thought...

I though tthe tare weight was unladen weight, so it shouldn't include driver or petrol.

Could we go to them with this extract from the R33 service manual to get them to adjust the weight?

The origional question was "what is the weight of a 4 door"

I replied with the actual weight of my R33 4 door with driver and 1/2 tank of fuel.

There is no weight mentioned anywhere on my rego papers

My Coupe's rego papers state 1370 tare weight and if I remember correctly John at UAS told me our car was 1375 on the weighbridge when he got it 1st regoed. No ABS but I have every other option.

I can't see a sedan weighing that much more either but remember you do actually have doors,,,electric windows,,,locks and all the other associated stuff that goes with the extra doors. Maybe 30 to 50 extra but not 200. Maybe do a little homework and find out say the difference between a 4 door commodore and the 2 door monaro. Might give you some indication.

John told me back when we bought ours (3 years ago) it had to go to the weigh-bridge before the RTA,,,maybe that has all changed nowadays.

Good luck buddy

Neil.

Thanks Neil.

Yeah - was sort of interested in how heavy it really is and also could save $100 a year if it is registered at what I think wil be the correct weight (1580kgs...cant be that heavy..my old large mazda 929 was 1180kgs tare weight).

I had a dealing with John and others at UAS - they were really good I must say.

Like you said there are a few extras for the extra 2 doors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
