RB Engine weights

Intalect? I take it you've gotten tickets before...

Intelects can get tickets, even the smartest people F*** up. Hell I've even got a ticket...

[SpeedingMonk]

id tell me all the info on the case / what happen so that i can justify it. what were the condittions? wet dry sno.. were u turning/drifting or any thin of the sort? would u say u were "preparring for a accadent" so you would know how to react for the real thing. i would+D

what classafies as neglagent driving? peace / g/l

Yeah, every ticket is dependant on a lot of conditions. These conditions will sometimes get you out of tickets, especially if there is heavy/no traffic, ect.

this is what monk said he has in his trunk. that prolly weighs significantly more than a couple of tires like you got. i know that my small tool chest alone weighs over 75 lbs. i would never put that in my trunk.

oh and how would i like to run from a cop with my drift tires on? well simple, thats a choice ur gonna have to make and a risk that you take being a drifter and doing it where cops can get you. I doubt the cops are going to let you change to your "try to outrun a cop" tires if they catch you by suprise and you are forced to bail. the tools, jacks, etc are mearly there as a worse case scenario. again, i would have them in my friends truck who is watching me and filming me, think of him as a mobile pit crew

The cops where you live don't let you change tires before they chase you? Around here they're pretty sporting.

The 'running from cops' part usually does not occur while drifting, it is associated with other activities of the night.

someone should foward these findings to Detroit!!!!!!!

Excellent discussions on the physics of drifting!

For the original post request, the weights of the RBs, here's a complete chart of Nissan engine weights. Hope it helps :)

Can I see more on that discussion? Physics of drifting, vol 1! :D

[TommyTheCat]

Those are the cars weights...

[Team503]

DOH! Ok. :) I can't find the chart. :)

[battle D]

yes excellent post on the physics of drifting i myself am a drifter in training and was jus learning about rb series engine when all of a sudden i see all this drifting talk however it was very informative i would definantly like to see more props to speeding monk and swift drift

[Nizmotastik]

Q: What is the weight of the RB25DET? Or the diff in weight between that and the KA24DE?
A: Roughly 50 to 75lbs

thats off of the unstable hybrids FAQ. really isnt as bad as i thought it would be. i figured itd be alot hevier than that.

[sil80drifter]

someone PLEASE find the engien weights, I tried hard on google, and got nothing! this is an important piece of info!

[dareo]

Yeah no joke i've been working on finding some engine weights and its hard man. I just want a list of engine+tranny weights, equal equipment on each motor. PLEASE somebody who's much smarter than me post that up there :)

[PROJECTRB240SX]

GAS IS LIGHETER THAN WATER BY 15%, SO WEIGHT A GALLON OF WATER AND MINUS 15%. AS FOR GVW IT IS ONLY THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED WEIGHT BEFORE CHASSIS FLEX AND ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION CONVERT TO A SILVIA FRONT END W/ A CF HOOD, REMOVE A/C, MOVE BATTERY TO THE BACK, GUT INTERIOR AND YOU SHOULD HAVE A GREATLY REDUCED WEIGHT AND A NEAR 50/50 WEIGHT BASE. ON THE OTHER HAND PUT ON GTP FENDER FLARES IN THE REAR AND YOU'LL HAVE THE SAME EFFECTS BUT GREATER WEIGHT.

[JonPowell]

water weighs 8 pounds per gallon so following your formula gas weighs 3.8 pounds per gallon

[PROJECTRB240SX]

NO ITS 6.8 POUNDS. 8LBS - 1.2LBS(15% OF 8) = 6.8LBS. GEEZ SIMPLE MATH MAN.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

AND YOU ALL DO KNOW THAT FLUID WEIGHT CHANGES WITH TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RIGHT?

[JonPowell]

I hit the 3 by mistake, I meant to hit the 6, but must have slipped on the keyboard....sorry about that.

I feel like an *** now....HA HA

[PROJECTRB240SX]

I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU GOT THAT FIGURE. ITS COOL WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES..... (I KNOW I'M THE KING OF **** UPS)
