well where getting a lot of different number's aren't we it's hard to know which one's are right.

so has any one ever had there car weighed by a motorsport body like cams? i would trust that to be right.

CAMS don't weigh your car. There are not many categories with minimum weights, and apart from level 1 categories like V8 Supercars, even if you race in a weight restricted class the only time CAMS will give a rats what your car weighs is if a protest is lodged on those grounds. This rarely happens as its quite expensive for a competitor to protest.

As for fair trading legislation - it's a reknowned toothless tiger. I see it also covers servos, and at certain servos I can regularly fit over 67l of fuel into my 65l tank, and I reckon I still had a few litres in there at the time. It was one of those servos offering 4c per litre discount deals, coincidently. I never bother with those 'discounts' any more, and fill up at a servo that seems more accurate - takes a little over 60l to fill it up most times when I'm close to empty. Just because they are checked once every year or two doesn't mean they are accurate. I also notice fair trading didn't mention what the acceptable margin for error is either, or to what accuracy they measure or what penalties apply to operators of inaccurate equipment. call me a cynic...

I wieghed my coupe on motorsport scales

790kg

with A15, stanza struts, ute diff, toyota box,
no pasanger seat no rear seat 15inch TRX wheels

Dont forget that thr rims that everyone runs wiegh heaps more then standard

850kg with a sr20de and 5spd in a ute

wow seems heavy! what diff u running 9'' ?

best place 2 get on the scales is your local tip i think menai (sydney) tip has accurate scales,
i remeber mine was under 800kg when was sitn on dyno/ no interior/ half zort/ive added heaps more weigth now

Hate to be a party pooper but on the factory manuals datsun 100o utes are 615kg.
Now thats anorexic.

at my local tip, wine weighed in at 840kg with me in it (75kg) and half a tank of fuel. so it would have been around 720kg.

no spare, crx seats and the trusty a14.

thought i might dig this thread up...

just had my ute wieghed again post engine conversion..

weight is now 820kg.. 12a rotary engine, Rx7 5speed and still factory 1200 diff...

so its only gained 40kgs during the conversion which i was happy about.. was expect a bit more...

lets not forget the amount of fuel in the car is a large variable as well...

and i agree... the wheels most people are running are generally HEAPS heavier than the factory 12's

720 kg
400 front 320 rear

kb10, a14, twin SUs, 2 in system, et pulsar wheels, 12 plate battery, race seats and harnesses,3/4 tank of fuel.

i thought that was overweight but i thought that they were in the low 600s to begin with

see what happens with the various conversions going on now.

hoping for under 700, reckon i took 5 kg off the crank!!! well maybe 1
