pjo046 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Does anyone know how much the 1970 240Z chassis itself weighs completely stripped from suspension, engine, doors, hatch, windows, bumpers, fenders etc? Is it light enough for 4 persons to carry around? I am hoping to get the chassis on jackstands on the outside of my fathers garage(There isn't room for it inside because he has two cars there that he is working on). To do this, we have to carry it over a cement "edge/wall" (So it can't be pushed or pulled with the wheels on. If you look at this picture(of my previous Z), you can see the "edge"(Not sure what the correct english word is) on the left side: http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=2232&cat=529&page=1 We have tought about making a ramp and pushing it up there, but it would be easier to carry it up there if it is light enough for me, my father and my two older brothers to carry. (My mom and my girlfriend can of course probably help too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zrb Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Et bart chassi vil jeg tro 4 stk med enkelhet skulle klare å bære. Har selv et bart chassi, og når jeg flytter det, er det på med bakhjul løfte fronten og trille dit jeg skal. Triller og tipper chassiet alene (jeg har hatt chassiet stående på høykant på dekk, når jeg har jobbet under). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjo046 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Ok. Høres bra ut. Står chassiset stødig når du setter det på høykant? Jeg har lurt på å skaffe et rotisserie for å lettere få jobbet under bilen(Det var et helvete med den forrige bilen da jeg lå under med bare litt klaring, og brukte varmepistol og skrape for å få av understellsmassen), men de er jo så dyre at jeg har ikke råd. Hvem er du forresten? SR20DET på 200sx-ogn? Jeg er 240Z_Bergen (Pål E. Johannessen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlasken Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 dere klarer lett å bære karosseriet om dere er fire mann ja, det veier ikke stort. angående rotisserie så laga jeg meg bare et enkelt stativ som jeg skrudde fast på innfestinga til forstilling og bakstilling. jeg laga til noen hjul på det også så jeg kunne flytte på den mens den sto på det.kjøpte noe gammelt firkantrør til 50kr og hjul på biltema og stativet var ferdig på en dag. bilen sto på det stativet et år og fungerte knirkefritt, bare å vippe på siden når jeg trengte det og vippe det ned igjen når jeg skulle flytte bilen. ligger noen bilder av stativet her: http://200sx.kicks-***.net/album/album.php?username=schlasken&cat=1558 edit: the url got sencored, just put in the word a s s where the *** are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240zrb Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Er fra Kirkenes, langt, langt oppe i vårt langstrakte land. Jeg er 240zrb på de sider jeg titter innom. Når jeg tipper chassiet, blir det stående på 4 dekk. Dekkene gir jo litt etter, så det står ikke fjellstøtt nei. Men var greit nok dersom en ikke trenger å bruke for mye makt. Jeg har liggende noen bilder på zdriver.com, søk på 240zrb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerrari GTO Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's not a problem. Me and three of my friends picked up the shell of my 280 to mount on a rotisserie and it was easy. We estimated the weight to be about 500 lbs+ (227+ kilograms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Maybe I need to have another cup of coffee. Better make that two. Thought my computer was jacked up there for a second? By the way I think there is a sticky about only english being used on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zrb Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's been some time since I have read the guidelines, so, thank you for the reminder. I'll keep my replies in english from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 That was different. Anyway, sometime back there was a post where somebody weighed a bare unibody. A search would probably turn it up. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
