anyone ever put a stock 180sx with SR20DET motor on scales to see what the front to rear weight distribution is like ??
Thanks.

ill wait to be corrected but im pretty sure its F55% R45%
not bad then, wonder if that with fuel in it tho because the tank hangs right out the back like R32, were the S14/S15silvia tank is infront of the axle.
Just trying to weigh up moving my engine back in my car, and lower, and maybe move the tank forward like an S14.
I think its without fuel but with a driver. 55/45 isnt too bad as standard
if you moved your engine back it would help get that balance closer to 50/50.....possibly a lot of work for minimal gains though!
Just when i go drifting, i find that i prefer the car with a full tank of fuel, so may explain why i do prefer that.
The car will have a Getrag V160 R34 6 speed box in it so there will be more weight there anyways so going to help, i'm thinking of about 4-5inch back, just enough to bring the gear stick back into the correect location and give me room for a savage v-mount setup.
clarkey.
R34 gearbox. Tidy!
in that case if you can do it, then moving it back prob will be of benefit.
V mount FTW..:nod
Nice, altho i'm abit heavyer then 60kilos (10stone) lol, more like 110kilos
I don't want to loose much weight in the car, just want to shift it about a little as i don't want to rely on the amount of fuel in the tank to make the difference.
ha..i did think 60 kilos was a bit light...based on the average japenese person weight no doubt!!
you should have a drift in an rx7 to see what 50/50 weight distribution feels like
I really don't get on with rx7's more to do with there enigines.
Raise the front suspension a bit and drop the rear to give a bit more even distribution just a thought
already did that, i ran the car higher at teh front then the rear, also ran 17inch front and 18 inch rear
maybe worth getting yours cornerweighted? correct me if im wrong but your cars figures wont be factory as you've modded it? added weight here and there with roll cages fire extinguishers front mount etc, and prob lost weight in other places like sound deading etc?
you maybe surprised and it could be spot on 50/50 lol
am i right in saying BMWs are almost 50/50?
Just bought some Intercorp weighing scales today actually, so i'll let you know
were they theones on DW? i looked at them, great price! wouldnt take long to make ur money back if u charged ppl to use them!
Thats the plan need them for my new business so jumped on them the second i saw them for sale
You weighed it yet?
Nicked from a magazine article;
FL 344kg FR335kg
RL 285kg RR304kg
No driver, CA engine, unsure of fuel level.
Best of luck with the new business
