just wondering how much the Z actualy weighs because going to be towing something heavy so need to know

It's a fuckin' LARD ARSE mate!

 

...is the answer you're looking for...

 

I was reading through my Z Companion Book last night and was looking at the difference between the dimensions of the SWB and LWBL(Lard)A(Arse)

 

If I had bought a SWB I could've got it in my garage but my lump of lardy Lard Wheel Base is sticking it's fat arse outta me garage with builders bum stylee!

 

So I'd say they're heavy with it! Besides if I answered with ****kg's that would be sad!

Weight

Kerb: 3480lb/1580kg

Max towing weight: 3304lb/1500kg

 

Hope it helps

 

Tim

ROFLMFAO

 

SAD MAN!

 

Only joking Tim

not really that heavy all things considered,i mean most big sportscars weigh upwards of 1500 kilos and saloons like the m5 weigh in at 1740kgs

I'll whip your lardy arse next time we go to Kemble Timmy me lad lol

 

Just happened to have the old road test on my desk as I'd copied it for Warren. Elementary my dear chap

'tis true mate, but I couldn't get to sleep so that certainly did the trick!

 

 

Okay, I'm gonna show just how sad I am now...

 

 

...I want the Z companion too.

 

Who's it by, ISBN?

 

Thanks m8 - I won't take the pi$$ any more lol

There is a steady stream of these on eBay :-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1484335311

 

I presume it is the same one as Mr.T uses for his bedtime reading. I have it and it's pretty good.

LOL

 

Yeah, not sure whether you can just order it anymore Tim. Somebody decent did a group buy not long after I came on here, loads of us ordered it as it was going out of print.

 

Ebay will be your best bet now as Andy says

 

I want A to Z aswell, saw it somewhere in the US recently but lost the link. That's supposed to be a better book.

Hi,

If you want the weight of your car, the best thing to do is take it to a weighbridge, have in the car what you like, obvious things like passengers and a full fuel tank could be dispensed with or parcel shelves full of speakers could come out, etc etc. I reckon its best to have your normal laden weight in the car, such as 3/4 tank of fuel, one passenger maybe and stereo equipment, and then get it weighed. Cos then you will have an exact weight for your car, a friend of mine who took his car (not a zx) to a weighbridge had the book weight of 1450 kg and his car weighed in at 1322kg, 1/2 tank of fuel, normal stereo equipment and no passengers. The car was not lightened in any way, so it came as a nice surprise. And if you do happen to do any lightening work to your car, you know exactly how much it weighs!! try it, yuo might be surprised, then again, you might be dissapointed if it comes out heavier, but at least you know you are telling the truth rather than factory figures. Everyone does the same with 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs, why not weight??

Tim,

I have A-Z and I'm not very impressed with it. Bit outdated and bit too US orientated. You can use it for bedtime reading at my gaff on Friday - if you're still sober enough to read !!!! LOL

With me in it, and half a tank of fuel,1780kg

confirmed by two weigh bridges for my Blitz id meter.And no, I am not a fat bastard.

Whatever the hell next? the Nissan Armitage-Shanks! or the Nissan Englebert Humperdink-CillaBlack.

I think we should have a Nissan JoePesci-MethanmphetamineDonut, I'd drive one of them

It was me who did the group buy on the Z Companions Guide. I believe it is now out of print but if you search the forum for the old thread and contact details, he may be able to give you a bit of a discount.

 

The guy is probably the one selling the book on Ebay, thats how I met him. In fact, looking at his email address, it is the same guy!! Just give him an email and tell him about the 300ZX.co.uk club and that Andrew Ingram sent you to him. He may be able to do you a deal. If there is anyone else who missed the chance to get it, I recommend getting together and ordering all at the same time. The book is well worth it, as any of the people who were in on the original GB can tell you.

 

Regarding weight, there should be a metal plate just on front of the radiator which shows the weight of the car in kilos. The plate also says things like paint code, VIN etc (AFAICR).

My car's much lighter, now that SE have fitted a rattley old 1.8 turbo engine from a 200SX !!

Yeah, but look what happened to Eddies car with your motor in it !!!!
