Correction to be made on my behalf yes you are right the NA model is quite a lot lighter than the turbo one.

But the turbo model is what i say above. I was just looking at it on Wikipedia and it weighs what i said for the turbo. And ONLY 1460 for the NA.

I drive a 5ME so I'm used to it

My mate only has a 4 banger magna so he's used to it too and this would be a big step up for him

My manual NA A80 weighed in at 1480 KG pretty well standard with spare and full tank.

No, it's not. 1999 brochure says 1510kgs for the RZ model, 1490kgs for the RZ-S, 1460kgs for the SZ-R and 1430/1440kgs for the SZ. I assume these to be unladen weights as it gives heavier weights for each model which I would image is fully loaded.

Since when is Wikipedia accurate?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Wikipedia is often accurate, if people update it. The ~1500kg weight for the TT was quoting from a couple of people on this forum who'd actually had their cars weighed.

Dunno if I've seen you car, sounds nice. First thing I'd do is remove the MTEU from it though so it's a moot point

[Mos]

It really isn't useful comparing masses specified under different conditions....
You might want to state exactly what you're quoting before engaging in a "factual" argument...
Manufacturer's specified mass is always less than weighbridge results, and those are not always accurate anyway.

In any case, a 2JZ-GE, whether making 120 or 150rwkw, isn't particularly fast in a JZA80, and while slightly faster in an MA61 is still not uberly impressive

my jza80 1380kg
DEAD STOCK wakefield park 1:17

thats not slow

the point is the jza80 HANDLES and can use every bt of the low power output to actually DRIVE well... which makes it quick. just not on paper

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Is that the rego weight or what it actually weighed in at Ed?

[ed]

compliance paper weight (which im told is actual weight off the boat)

still havent weight it myself

[Norbie]

A guy I know got his JZA80 down to 1350kg (according to corner scales) but only after putting it on a fairly extreme weight-loss program, so methinks 1380 for a stocker is a little optimistic?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Was his a TT or an NA? Remember Ed's had a W58 instead of a V160, A-series diff, no turbo hardware etc. Povo spec

[ed]

yup, complete povo spec

no abs
no airbags
no cruise
w58
open A series
small brakes
16" wheels

[Norbie]

The car in question does have a turbo engine, 6-speed etc but it's WAY beyond povo spec. All interior removed (back seats, carpets, door trim etc), AC/heater etc removed, stereo gone, most of the wiring loom stripped out (you should have seen the pile of wires), he even went as far as making his own exhaust pipe out of stainless sheet because all off-the-shelf pipe had thick walls and was heavy.

I'm not saying Ed's car couldn't get to the same level, just seems very light for a totally stock JZA80 with everything in it?
