Tassie 240z rego tare weight?

(1/4) > >>

SpawN:
I am after the tare weight of a tassie rego'd 240z, at the moment im going through the modification application and I can't seem to find a definitive answer for the weight. So I guess if I use the weight from the rego papers it has to be taken as true?!?

WogsRus:
it's the manufacturers tere weight.

Humm the RTA does not list it

found it

1020kg tare weight, why do you need that for tassie?

SpawN:
Maximum engine CC calculation.

At present the calculation in NCOP is:

Tare weight X NCOP 800-1100KG multiplier = Max engine size in CC's
1020kg X 4 = 4080CC's  :'(

I thought it might be very low like the figure you listed but there looks to be some room for movement due to the vague nature of the weight explanation in NCOP.

This is what NCOP states about where to get tare weight: "The weight referred to in the table is the "original" unmodified weight of the model vehicle with the largest engine available for the model but without optional accessories (air conditioning, tow bars etc.) The weight of the vehicle whether it is a sedan, station wagon, utility, etc, should be based on the heaviest sedan model (not station wagon version)"

So from this I can summize a few things.

A: The heaviest model of the S30 range is the 280z, weighing in at a hefty 1304! So that would put me in another bracket an allow me to use a x5 multiplier.

B: Seeing as there are no sedan s30 models, the closest thing I could use is a 2+2.

C: There is no mention of the model needing to be sold to Australia. Seeing as the s30 was built in japan then imported for sale, I would go so far as to say I should be able to use any of the 10+ (can remember exact number) variations of the S30 series!

I'm going to fill in an application and take it to Tubby in Perth to see what he thinks, if its all kosher then ill provide him with the supporting documentation (of which some I am still looking for).

WogsRus:
AHHH that makes a little bit more sence.

As far as i am aware it can only be the tare weight of that model, not range so i don't think you can use the 280z weight.

I have a 2+2 260 with aircon but no way of weight it.

Humm will do some more poking arround for you

SpawN:
This is the only way that I can think of that people are still legally getting away with installing bigger v8s in the s30 chassis!?

A 240 is merely a variation of a fairlady Z which had 5 different engines in it (l20, s20, l24, l26 and l28) anyways. Im going to try it on because if I dont then I can install a vh41 legally and as it is if its not over 1100kg then I cant supercharge is legally either (even at 1100kg I still have to destroke it to 3.9l).
