just guessing but i think the charade should be just under the 700kg mark dry weight

by **fangsport** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 7:42 pm

TE71 hatchback road legal club/rally car
930kg with 1/2 tank and driver, probably 850kg-ish dry
full glass and doors, spare wheel , no lightweight panels, but lightened wiring loom.

My road legal AE82 2dr weighs 890kg with 10 litres gas full roll cage 2 seats. What lets mine down is the 6ft 3 95kg driver.

Isn't that a killer? No matter how much you lighten the car you're still gonna have a +30Kgs penalty.

Was the same in my rowing crew, our coxswain was absolutely amazing but we had to let him go cause he was just plain too heavy

my old ae85 trueno hatch, all glass etc half cage(no rear interior or sound deadening) +me and half a tank was 940kg so minus me 75kg and half tank 25kg, 840kgs. the flatmates levin notch was 920 with him and fuel so about 820 without

as for the GZ10 not been weighed but at a guess id think more than the sun

I haven't weighed my ae92 Trueno yet because its still full of interior etc. Plan is to strip the rear completely and replace the front seats with buckets, racetech something or others.

Hopefully around 1050? Going by the extra weight of the turbo stuff vs the removed supercharger and air con stuff.

Oh and its got a sun roof which I'll remove, partly because of the extra wieght...but mostly because I'm too tall and my helmet just touches the roof lining (which is lower due to sunroof stuff).

AW11 MR2 with carpet and sound deadening removed. 1/8th tank of gas, spare wheel, full glove box and crap in the boot. 940kg less driver.

Hoping to get the race car down to 900ish dry with cage.

With a car that heavy driver weights seem inadequate

Geez, don't really think i'd trust an r2d2 unit for navigational purposes. You might end up in a wall or something, maybe cut across the infield :wink:

Haven't even got my track car yet (plans are below) but hope i could get it as light as possible.

Will take a LOT of time and money to build this, but it is my sole long term goal.

R32 GTS-25 manual coupe
- Light as possible
- Small aerodynamic bodykit/wing
- NON turbo (too many Skylines are being turboed)
- Aim for little over 300 hp at the wheels, either by staying NA ($$$) or going with a supercharger ($$$)
- Huge SouthernSkylines.com stickers on the sides of the car will add at least 12-14hp more. :lol:

Will buy a shell one day and start on the weight reduction first and once that and all the handling stuff is sorted i'll start upping the power.
