The majority of the weight in a car is in the Engine and Gearbox so i think the wngine would way more than that...

thats what i used to think, but rb2x engines/gearboxes arent that heavy

i did just say the engine itself, not all the other bits around it

Toll wont send for you unless you are a business or have an abn. I've got stuff from melbourne to here through pack'n'send, I had to sell my left testicle on the black market just to get my parts. I was told that the thing goes on size, then they dertermin the cubic weight from the lenght x width x diameter then charge you by weight, thats why mine was so expensive to send because it was a big box.

i got charged $25 for a wooden crate...then sent a diff off to sydney. Cost $113 through pack and send. Then i had a diff sent back (in same crate i paid $25 for) cost $108 to return. I got a call to say my package had arrived, only to find pack and send had opened it, removed its contents, then gave me the diff, but kept the $25 wooden crate i paid for.....

Pack and send are the biggest rip off mail tampering f*k heads....go with TNT

R33 gtr engine , gearbox and accesories including inlet + exhaust manifolds , starter, alt and turbos , as i pulled it off the car weighs 330 kg . ( not including air cond pump or power steer pump , they stay on the car )

gearbox on its own including the little driveshaft 90 kg .

an rb 25 will be less than 240 kg cause you don't have 2 turbos and no diff in the sump .

i would say about 200 kg depending on what accesories you include .

gtr sump weighs 29 kg rb 25 will be a lot less maybe 10 kg the extra turbo will be like 10 -15 kg as well .

Whilst pack n' send is indeed a rip, there isn't too many other options.. dnb organised to get my head delivered using Toll Ipsec, however they didn't secure it too well (and there wasn't too many options in terms of packing something like that :() and it was damaged slightly. They must have been flying around corners or something the whole way..

The price was about 1/2 of Pack 'n Rip however...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
