Hello guys,

I've been thinking of selling my car and buying a GTR, I can afford a R32 or a R33. At the moment im not sure which one would be better to get. One thing I have been looking into is the weight difference, but every site I go to and everybody I talk to keep giving me different weights for both cars.

So what is the weight of a R32 and a R33 GTR????

Cheers

for the R32 I ahve seen advertised weights between 1430 and 1530 kgs. So in my GTech, I will put 1600kgs to allow for me and half a tank of gas.. We really need someone who has weighed one at a weigh bridge, I can but won't be for a few weeks..

The weight difference between the GT-R R32 and R33 is negligible (as opposed to the differences in the GTS-t model), and should not be a deciding factor in which car you buy IMHO. Take both for a drive, consider their age, condition, and your finances, and then decide :D

Thanks emre, any info towards the R34. ?

I wish you guys asked before , anyway i dug this up for you .

R34 gtr 1540 kg

r34 v-spec 1560 kg

And the porkiest of all r34 m-spec , my car , 1580 kg

Just in case someone asks r34 n1 1550 kg

Spec 1 cars ( jan 99 to oct 2000 ) and spec 2 cars ( oct 2000 on ) weigh the same .

Emre that agrees with my figures , 1/3 tank = 30kg

Going on my stats list yours is the lighter one .

Just checked on my list the only diff in specs is side impact bars , i dont think they would be 50 kg so there may be some body stiffening somewhere .

Sorry i cant help you there .

hmmm... that is interesting :cheers: wonder if the heavier would make a better track car, with the stiffer chassis?

Stiffness is good, weight is not.

Pulling some figures out of my arse, I would estimate the side intrusion bars are probably 10kg each, if not more since the R32 GT-R has such long doors. So that's a good 20kg by itself (if not more). Add in the additional changes (different clutch and gearbox setup) and its not altogether impossible that they equate to ~50Kg.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
