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

mark :)

$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 !!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
