Hi Guys, after just having my manual conversion delivered, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to let peeps know the weight of individual items from the 300zx, It would make it easier for us to estimate the shipping costs!

 

I struggled to let the courier company know the exact weight of the parcel they were collecting for me, I guessed at 85kg for the full complete kit, eg manual box, flywheel, pedals, master & slave cylinder, prop shaft, some pipes and bolts, The company never asked for any more money so i assume the 85kg was a good guess.

 

Just to add, It cost me £46 for the courier company to collect my gearbox pallet from Essex and deliver to my door in Southport, not bad i thought

 

 

SO! I will start with a few weights and we could follow on and add as you wish.

 

TT Autobox (empty of fluid) 76kg

N/A manual box (empty of fluid) update tommorow when weighed

1 standard wing 3.2kg

1 standard gear knob 340 grammes

1 pair of standard rear lights 2.1kg

1 plenum with balance bar 12.2kg

1 standard alloy wheel with tyre 18.3kg

1 standard radiator 4.2kg

1 standard brake caliper 2.8kg

1 standard center rear panel 1.0kg

1 standard N/A flywheel

cool, would be good if a few more peple joined in and put the rest of the weights on the thread

I'll weigh my s1 diff (without fluid) tomorrow and post it up.

great idea actually! see if we can list every single item until we reach the weight of the car! :rofl: seriously though it would be really useful for people looking to put their Z on a diet.

Thought putting it all into Kilograms would help us all understand the real Weight of all our parts!

Hi Guys, after just having my manual conversion delivered, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to let peeps know the weight of individual items from the 300zx, It would make it easier for us to estimate the shipping costs!

 

I struggled to let the courier company know the exact weight of the parcel they were collecting for me, I guessed at 85kg for the full complete kit, eg manual box, flywheel, pedals, master & slave cylinder, prop shaft, some pipes and bolts, The company never asked for any more money so i assume the 85kg was a good guess.

 

Just to add, It cost me £46 for the courier company to collect my gearbox pallet from Essex and deliver to my door in Southport, not bad i thought

 

 

SO! I will start with a few weights and we could follow on and add as you wish.

 

TT Autobox (empty of fluid) 76kg

N/A manual box (empty of fluid) update tommorow when weighed

1 standard wing 3.2kg

1 standard gear knob 340 grammes

1 pair of standard rear lights 2.1kg

1 plenum with balance bar 12.2kg

1 standard alloy wheel with tyre 18.3kg

1 standard radiator 4.2kg

1 standard brake caliper 2.8kg

1 standard center rear panel 1.0kg

1 standard N/A flywheel

 

What company did you get the gearbox from in essex? was it MJP?

Its a very old list from about 5/6 yrs ago, from somebody on one of the U.S forums, been copied and pasted all over the place ever since. Originally in Ibs and converted above to KG by Munny.

 

However unfortunatly....most of it is guesswork and way off !

Edited January 13, 201016 yr by Yowser

A few more,

 

N/A Flywheel 9.3kg

N/A Manual gearbox 60.1kg

N/A Prop shaft 7.1kg

Yeah i was just about to say its a load of guess work, most of its not very useful lol

That old list is a bit scrappy? Over the next few months i will make a tidy version and update the old lists with more accurate readings and probably make it indexed too

 

Daz.

I have lost over 150kg from my own car, everything removed/replaced digitally weighed. Its been a while but I will try and find time to dig it out and list it up.

Nice on Bud, I was hoping someone else would put a few weights up, If you do, i can put them in order and a nice tidy list for us all to use!!

 

Cheers Daz.

I'm in the process of putting my Z on a diet... so thought it would be a good time to review this thread and add some measurements of my own,we could maybe get a new list put as a sticky? :thumbup:

 

Daz / Legrath - Did you get any further with your weights lists?
