just lik cutting a tin top down to make it a softie won't work because the soft tops more additional braces to keep em ridged....

i had mine on a weighbridge after modifying it and with water pooled in the softtop it weighed 1040kg... i'd say stock would be 950-980.

So if they ain't 1340 what's is this gvm crap they put on the badges
Is gvm the weight of the vehicle when there's 4 ppl in the car

Sure it wasn't a Tare weight of 950kg? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to put a driver in it, let alone anything else!

GVM - Gross Vehicle Mass the most the vehicle is allowed to weigh loaded

Tare should be the weight of the vehicle unloaded

Tare weights are often quoted as "dry weight" so add a tank of fuel, oils, coolant etc and you get closer to the true unladen weight of the vehicle...

You guys are doing it wrong. :lol:

I've cut the roof off a hardtop before and it would be lucky to weigh 30kg incl. half the c-pillars.

Ok so 30kg roof + rear glass + side glass + rear door?

Reason why im bringing this up is that the aftermarket springs and loading seem to change weather you have a steel bar, winch etc etc, but no differences between soft and hardtop zuk. Since owning now both hard and soft tops I have noticed quite a significant difference to how the springs sit and ride between the two.

I don't have Sierra weights, but according to my LJ80 FSM:
its 740kg vs 785kg for LJ80-II Stockman; and 705kg vs 750kg for LJ80-I. So 45kg difference, I can't imagine an SJ having a very different difference.
