TARE wieght of your R32 GTR?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Just trying to work something out, After compliance you get the report for your car, mine is weighing in at 1560KG's. it sux cause you go into the next bracket and have to pay $352.00 rego a year.

I was just wondering what everyone elses weight is? seems a little heavy for the lightest of the GTR's,

any help would be appreciated

$353 a year rego, youar a lucky lucky man here in ACT my GTR rego is $710 a year so be happy!!!!

Anyway back on point my GTR was 1460kg before i started any weight reduction measures, if i where you i would strip things out of my car take it to a weigh station get a print out and take it to rego.

in that comparrison then yeah, but back to the topic

1460 eh? what the heck, did they sit a truck driver in my car while it was on there!

so if I take tools and jack and stuff out of theboot, drive it down there with almost no fuel then that shuld be ok?

the next bracket down is only like 265 which is why I was annoyed.

cheers

I've got gram lights so I would have thought that would have made a difference

but the guy said bring it down and he'll do the weigh bridge report again, $15. its 2 mins around the corner from my house. so I'm going on saturday.

I'm gonna take all the floor mats, everything from the boot out and take it down again. there is no way it can be that heavy, should only be 1510 like your cars, hopefully its 1504 or less that way I can be in the next bracket down for reg

I'll drive it down there with the light on, servo is 200m down the rd, I don't have much of a stereo in mine by the way

cheers guys, mark

99 R32 gtr tare weight is 1430 kgs ( all fluids but no petrol in it )

93 mod =1480kg

93 v-spec +94 v-spec II =1500 kg

R33 gtr =1530 kg

R33 v-spec =1540 kg

R34 gtr =1540 kg

R34 v-spec =1560 kg

R34 m-spec=1580 kg

It depends on who did the compliance as to how much weight is on the rego paper .

I have a R34 gtr m-spec and its under 1500 kg ( i made sure of that at the time of rego )

I had a 33gtr that was under 1500 kg as well .

If you want you can get a weighbridge ticket and go back to the rta i'm sure you can get it under 1500 even if you have a v-spec II .

I have been through this with my R33. You have to get an adjustment of vehicle records from a mechanic that does BLUE slips. THis costs $22. I was able to show the mechanic the specification sheet from a workshop manual. My R33 sedan was previoulsly put in at 1570kgs tare weight!

The heviest sedan in the spec sheet was 1410kg so he put it down as that. If he hadn't have accepted the spec sheet you have to go to an authorised RTA weighbridge. This costs about $23-$27.

The mechanic I went to was in the hills area. Hills motorsport gave me his name. I think Milan or something, he was a good guy

Then you take the adjustment of vehicle records to the RTA and they cahange it. I did this just before I regod the car. Saved me about 100 per year

R32 gtr's can and they all should be under 1500 kgs on the rego .

R33's and r34's are all heavier than 1500 but can be registered under 1500 kgs , i can't say in this forum how but if anyone wants to know give me a p.m.

Like benl 1981 said it saves you about $100 every year !!

    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
    • That is a dead f**king short of B+ to ground. Scary.
