does anybody know the formula to work out how many cubes you can put in to your car ? (in Victoria )

weight x ?

cheers

[zodiac GTR]

Heaviest weight for your model, in kgs x .294.

is that for victoria as well , I heard things might have changed but am not sure.

thanks

found this
VERSION 2.0 JANUARY 2011
Table LA1 Recommended Maximum Engine Capacity
MASS OF VEHICLE
Maximum Engine Capacity (refer to notes below)
Naturally Aspirated Turbo/Supercharged
All vehicles originally weighing
less than 800 kg.
Original mass (kg) x 3.0
= max. capacity in cc’s
Original mass (kg) x 2.5
= max. capacity in cc’s
All vehicles originally weighing
between 800 kg and 1100 kg.
Original mass (kg) x 4.0
= max. capacity in cc’s
Original mass (kg) x 2.75
= max. capacity in cc’s
All vehicles originally weighing
more than 1100 kg.
Original mass (kg) x 5.0
= max. capacity in cc’s
Original mass (kg) x 3.0
= max. capacity in cc’s

so if someone could tell me which 1973 LJ is the heaviest ,that would be great.

I googled it and there are to many variations,
one shows that the 73 Bathurst XU1 to be over 1100Kg.
so if anyone has some documentation to show this that would be great.

thank you

60 Years of Holden by Terry Bebbington aka Dr Terry pg 336.

LC GTR XU1 1102 kg
LJ GTR XU1 1096 kg

In theory you should be able to use the LC weight which just gets you into the next category.

tried to copy and paste the graph but it came up as text, so it probably doesn't make much sense(its all mixed up )

I don't know what happened there ?

[ls2lxhatch]

Looks like this table from the NCOP. Don't know if that applies in VIC. It makes quite a difference if they will accept the LC GTR XU1 weight.

that's it , thank you.

spoke to a engineer today,told me that on his guide it had 1064Kg for LJ torana and told me to look for a greater variant in the series.
just trying to find something to show vicroads and the engineer the variant that proves to be over 1100Kg.

would 60 Years of Holden by Terry Bebbington ,cary any wait on this mater ? or do I dig deeper ?

Buy the book and it should do the job You can check with the author as he is a member here.

Apparently the figures in the book are from either GMH documents or CAMS documents.

It would probably be quicker/simpler to talk to Dr Terry and your engineer. Hopefully the book is enough.

The book also has other specifications that come in handy for engineering modifications.
