jap spec 2 seater weight

I have been told the jap spec 300zx is much lighter than the Australian 300zx, as it is made of much lighter materials. How much lighter is it?

Thanks

 

2+0 targas are lighter than 2+2 targas, and the slicktop variant of the 2+0 is lighter again.

 

this isn't perfect but it's the best estimates i have from private research.

2 seat NA slicktop: 1420KG
2 seat TT slicktop: 1490KG

2 seat NA targa (MAN): 1440KG
2 seat NA targa (AUTO): 1470KG

2 seat TT targa (MAN): 1510KG
2 seat TT targa (AUTO): 1540KG

2+2 NA (MAN): 1490KG - this is the same as AU spec curb weight
2+2 NA (AUTO): 1530KG

2+2 TT (MAN): 1555KG
2+2 TT (AUTO): 1585KG

 

I don't know about lighter materials - rather just less materials being shorter


3,186 lb (1,445 kg) 2 seater non-turbo T-top
3,373 lb (1,530 kg) 2 seater twin-turbo T-top
3,310 lb (1,501 kg) 2 seater twin-turbo hard top
3,432 lb (1,557 kg) 2 seater convertible
3,313 lb (1,503 kg) 2+2 non-turbo T-top
3,602 lb (1,634 kg) 2+2 twin-turbo T-top

 

Bump old thread rather than making a new one.


Does anyone have or know of published/official weight of the 300zx models?

I am looking for something I can present to the rego office.

 

What particular model?

 

2+0 man TT Slicktop.

 

1490 check redbook.

 

Hmm that is the number i need, but something more offical than redbook.

 

The weights I posted have ended up on the Z32 wiki, didn't even realise this but I don't think printing off that is going to convince them. https://z32.wikispaces.com/Chassis+Differences

Go take it to a weigh bridge and give them the paperwork?

 

That is Option B, the problem is it might not give me the number I need.

2+? and auto or man?

 

2 seat Auto,sorry if I got the 2+ wrong

 

Pretty sure all the weights are listed in the FSM (service manual).

 

You can find a list of specs including weights for different Z32 models here

It claims that a 1990 2 seater manual TT weighs 1520 kg

 

Looked in there, are you able to take a look incase i missed it?

 

I got a 94 version S. Claims it is 1530.

The numbers are little out, depending on where you look, they will only accepted Nissan quoted figures.

 

1540 on my rego papers :br:

 

Rego only accepts the weight recorded on the prior rego or on the compliance plates, or if it hasn't been registered then a weigh bridge is part of the blue slip process.
