I thought I would post some myths I have heard about aristos/2Js
Maybe someone on here can do some mythbusters for us.

1- series one aristos are lighter then series two?

I don't think Aristo's are as heavy as most people think.
my 93 Aristo weighs 1540kg on a weighbridge. has a few options as well including sunroof.
my previous 93 Supra RZ 6spd hardtop weighed 1530kg on the same bridge.
And my 180SX weighs 1250kg on the same bridge.
Anyone else actually weighed theirs?

its a commercial scale, they rely on it to make their money and charge accurately. There's probably some regulations that requires it to be tested/calibrated at regular intervals too.

1250kg for the 180SX, 1530kg for the Supra and 2350kg for the GQ Patrol all seem about right.

The tip doesn't really have to be accurate. As long as the two weighbridges are calibrated the same then there is no issue as its based off difference in weight.

Just like dyno figures some weigh bridges are giving conflicting figures from what ive seen.

unlike dynos, commercial weighbridges are subject to 'weights and measures' legislation requiring testing and calibration.
