rudypoochris Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 where do you get accurate weights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 They have scales at Ennis, Tx. NHRA drag strip. If you do not have that option you could go to your local or nearest truck scales. Also to the dumps or to a rock/soil sales place that sells by the pound/load. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 These numbers are very encouraging... Notice those with Roll cages, sub-frame mods and full interiors are still in the sub-2700# range... That is truly amazing. This weight figure is the sole key to the advantage of a datsun Zcar in my opinion. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 '72 240z L28 motor (F54/N42) SU's Headers nissan 5 speed R200 diff ZX radiator full interior ZX four spoke "cross" 14" wheels 5-6 gallons of gas spare tire large mechanical jack (not 'scissor' jack) small tool set (approx 10 lbs) 2320 lbs (guessing about 2280lbs 'dry' weight?) Haven't weighed it since the turbo swap... guessing about 2400 though if I take all the extra crap out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sims76 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 2850 lbs before the turbo swap, haven't weighed it since. 1976 280Z 2+2 Stock, no spare, slotted mags, about 3/4 tank gas My 2+2 is the fattest thing yet on this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 My 1977 280Z weighed 2800 lbs even with 3/4 tank of gas when it was completely stock except for an '83 T-5. It was 1400 lbs on each end. After the LS1/T56 conversion it was 2830 lbs - with the extra 30 lbs on the rear. I have not yet had it back on the scale since I aded the roll bar, strut tower braces, the custom interior, and the brake upgrade. Guess I need to figure out where I am now. My totally stock 1983 280ZX weighed 1430 on the nose and 1450 on the tail for 2880 lbs total. - with 3/4 tank of fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
